Andrew is 3 Months Old!!

Don't you love my chunky thighs!

Can I fit my whole fist into my mouth?

Mommy loves this picture.

Andrew, you are beginning to... Giggle (only 2 times so far), roll over from your tummy to your back (when propped up by a pillow), see yourself in the mirror, lift your head when in a lying position, hold objects in your hand when placed in your hand, **use hands (for 5 minutes pushed a globe in circles and you were concentrating so hard), pull on Mommy's necklace and hair, imitate facial expressions, spit up more than you did the last couple months, straighten your legs and hold a little weight on them and pull your legs to your belly.

You are also starting to play games...while breastfeeding; you look at me, smerk, pull off, give me a big smile, look at me again and attach. Then you do it again.


You have Mastered...smiling when smiled at, cooing, babbling to stuffed animals, holding your head up during tummy time, putting yourself to sleep at night (90% of the time), sleeping from 10:30 pm to 5:30 am (7 hours), following objects with your eyes, burping, having "blow outs/explosions" and getting your cute outfit all dirty.


You Love to...suck on your hand or pacifier(or anything you can get your mouth around),babble to a turtle that is on the wall when you get your diaper changed, watch tv (so now we don't put the tv on when you are in the room or we turn you the other direction), go for walks and look at trees, go on car rides, look around when breastfeeding (this has become difficult at times), read books with Daddy, do sit ups with Mommy (bent leg air plane), grunt, kick and wave hands so much that you sweat, lay naked, take showers (easier than a bath right now),flashlights, and to look from left to right when you are lying on your back.

You do not like...when the car stops at a stop light, dirty diapers and when you get fed late.

When you get fussy, you like to be held "belly down," sung to (You are my Sunshine, Rock a Bye Baby, etc) and have the person in motion.

The activities that you have been doing this month...going to stoller fittness with Mom, "talking to and seeing" relatives on skype, tummy time, looking at mobiles, going to Outpost Maplewood, going to MOPS meetings, sitting in swing, listening to music, lying in your pack and play and looking at the mobile that Mommy made for you (you can keep yourself occupied for 15 minutes or so, then you fall asleep or cry). Also, you took your first air plane ride to Wisconsin (going to a cottage...pontoon boat ride, etc), went to the pumpkin patch, and went camping.

We think...that your diapers smell like buttered popcorn Jelly-bellies (Daddy used to say Beer brats, but now he has changed). You are going to be very expressive (or bipolor...just kidding) with your feelings because you change your facial expressions very easily (from a smile to a frown in seconds). We love you Andrew!
