3 Months


Eating his fist
Sleepy boy, ready for a nap

Going to church together
First time on the swing, and he loved it!
Happy as can be between his daddy and brother
Jack and Kolt...handsome little dudes


Oh how I love this age! 3-9 months is so much fun and so easy, because they are so sweet, smiley, and responsive, and not active yet!

Jack smiles all the time now, has big-time flirty eyes, and is the happiest little baby. He will smile and talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere! He loves it and seems to be just waiting patiently until someone will interact with him so he can interact back. I love his budding personality!

He is squealing with delight now, loves to stare at his hands and feet, and coos (a-cccooo, agooo, and nnnga) so sweetly. The way he moves his lips when he coos is so adorable. This morning, James smiled and talked to Jack for a while, and Josh and I couldn't believe how excited Jack got. He loves his brother! I don't blame him!

He is sleeping in his crib now and doing remarkably better. He is waking up about 2-3 times a night (last night he just woke up once!) to eat, but that's far better than he was doing in his bassinet. He is really good about going to sleep on his own and not waking up to want the paci. Sometimes he doesn't even want the paci to fall asleep.

Jack moves all the time. He's not a calm, still baby, but he's a very happy, active baby. He hardly ever complains, but when he's mad, he's MAD! But, as soon as you start to fix the problem, he's happy again. Such personality already!

He is always looking around, glued into whatever is going on. He is as alert as can be.

He hates dirty diapers.

He eats his fist all the time now.

He doesn't like being on his tummy for more than 5 minutes.

He doesn't like the swing and will only sit in the bouncy seat for a while if the water is running near him.

He likes to be propped up like he's sitting or lying on his back, and most of all, being held. Lately he likes most to be held looking out.

He sleeps on his sides.

He's not a huge fan of the car, but if we can get him to fall asleep, he's good to go.

He's eating a little faster now...about 20 minutes, every 2-3 1/2 hours

He's not a gassy baby anymore! Yea!

He loves to look at himself in the mirror.

He likes to stand in our laps.

He weighs about 15 lbs.

He sings along when he is sung to.

He has the sweetest coo when he's sleepy. He'll look into your eyes sleepily, and softly coo with a slight smile.

He likes to try to sit up when lying down a lot. It looks like he's working on his abs!

He's such a delight!!! It's amazing how much your heart grows with each child! I adore being his mommy, and I love the dynamic he has added to our family. Having two kids is such a blessing!
