3 Months Old

On May 28th, Connor turned 3 months old. Its hard to believe he is already 3 months old. 

 He is growing big and wearing mainly size 3 months, some 0-3 month clothes and some 3-6 month clothes. I even broke out a few 6 months outfits & you've been wearing those, although they are pretty big. Your still in size 1 diapers. We went to the doctor a few days ago and you weigh 14lbs 5oz! 

You still have pretty blue eyes, long fingers & long toes. Your hair is (slowly) growing & the top of your head is a lot blonder than the back, bottom section of your hair. Your cheeks are getting rounder and your thighs are getting chunkier! Your voice has reached new heights... You giggle & squeal in excitement all day long.

 You are full of movement! You kick, swing your arms, rub your face, suck your hands, twist your body from side to side & bring your legs to your chest. Unless you are in a deep sleep, your moving some part of your body. We must now strap you into your bouncy seat since you now find it fun to try to bounce right on out of it. The baby that use to sleep so sound in it now cannot be left alone & must be strapped in! Oh... Speaking of hands, they are even cooler than last month. You love to attempt to get both fists into your month and make them full of sloppy wetness. One day you went to down on your thumb and pointer finger (because one just isn't enough) until both were bright red. 

 We're still working on sleeping through the night... You have spoiled Mama a few nights this month but usually you wake up twice to eat still. I don't mind those 4am feedings though... Your quick to eat & quick to fall back asleep.

 You love play time, your play mat, bouncy seat, bath time & your paci. You're not a huge fan of tummy time, getting dressed, and being alone for very long. In fact this month I've noticed you seek more attention. I can be sitting right next to you but if Im not talking to you, you make sure to let me know you want my attention. You also love being held, which makes for Mama getting pretty good at eating with one hand! 

 Mommy is still nursing you about 8 times a day... usually every 2 to 3 hours. You've gotten alot quicker at nursing and sometimes eat within 5 minutes. At the end of your 3rd month, we finally said goodbye to the bassinet. I was sad to see it go. It was your little bed for your first 3 months of life (well & the bouncy seat some nights :/) Anyways, you have yet to move into your crib though... instead you are sleeping in the pack and play in mommy and daddy's room. 

Thank you Connor Jackson, for being my baby. I thank you for being patient with mama as she learns to meet all your needs and tend to all your wants. You have taught me so much in 3 short months... How full of love my heart can be & how easy it is to become so selfless. I get so much joy out of seeing you smile, watching you sleep peacefully & hearing you giggle.
