3 months!!

THREE MONTHS!!!!  Where has the time gone?  I can NOT believe you are a quarter of a year old.  You are almost too much fun these days.  You finally gave us a belly laugh about two days before you turned three months.  We were outside on your play-mat and you let out the sweetest sound my ears have ever heard.  We now spend most of our awake time with you trying to get you to laugh again.  It is quite the workout.  You only reward us for our very best efforts which usually include jumping, shaking our heads and making silly noises.  Sometimes, I think you purposefully hold out on laughing just to see how ridiculous we will act.


Let's see.  What are your other three month milestones?  You love to grab on to things now.  We got you a special pacifier that has a stuffed animal attached to it, hoping that the weight of the animal would keep the paci in place, but boy did that plan backfire.  You love the animal so much that you constantly pull the paci out of your mouth to play with the animal.  So now, whenever we take you somewhere, we are armed with two pacis.  The regular one in your mouth and the animal one in your hand.    You also love to grab hair.  Since I have had you, my hair is going through a shedding much like I remember our dog doing in the spring growing up.  This issue combined with your new passion for grabbing my hair may create some fairly serious bald spots on my head.  Best case scenario, I will have enough hair left to keep my head warm for winter and you, little man, can have a nice hairy insulation around your fingers as well.

World's cutest Pumpkin butt!!!

You are also getting some pretty serious neck muscles.  You love to sit facing out in the baby bjiorn, so daddy and I try to take you on a walk everyday to get some fresh air and develop those neck muscles.  Even when you aren't in the bjiorn, you ALWAYS want to face out when being held.  It seems like you are afraid you might miss out on something if you are facing backwards.  This is a common theme in your life, because you hate to take naps for what I can only assume is the same reason.  You average about three twenty minutes naps a day.

Little Munchkin,  you LOVE bath time.  You kick like it is your job.  A job that you take very seriously.  Dad and I love the faces you make while you kick away.  Here is the proof... (p.s.  this video does not contain nakedness.  We have videos where he kicks more, but they would not meet the g-rating standard)
