3 months young |
And
what a fun month it has been. Jack has proven himself to be a very good
sleeper. At 6/7 weeks he began sleeping 5/6 hour stretches- which
technically is through the night. At 8 weeks he began sleeping for 6-8
hour stretches. He normally wakes up ready to eat, but offers up a few
smiles when I get to his crib. I love the late night/early morning
feeding. There is something so sweet about it... perhaps its because I'm
so excited to see Jack or he is so excited to see me... Either way,
it's my favorite moment with my little buddy. Jack has moved from the
couch, to his swing and finally to his crib. I personally wanted him to
be in his crib as soon as he could do it- while I miss sleeping near my
buddy, I think it's important for Caleb and I to have our bed be OUR
bed. It's crazy how soundly I will be sleeping and I will hear Jack's
smallest little noise and be in Jack's room before he starts to cry. (we
don't use a monitor).
Jack has found his hands,
and they are the coolest. They entertain him for hours on end. He
focuses intently on his hands as he brings them together and then into
his mouth. Speaking of his mouth, he has LOVED blowing bubbles and
started drooling. At 10 weeks Jack began showing signs of teething. Now
at 12 weeks he is most certainly experiencing some teeth pain. He is
chewing on my finger/his finger/anything I put near his chompers. I
noticed a little white bump on his gums.
Jack LOVES to
interact with people. We facetime with family and he is so cute
interacting with the phone. He leans forward like he wants to touch the
people in the phone. Jack loves to giggle with mom and dad. He smiles
and wiggles around when we talk to him. He really just loves to make eye
contact with us. He loves to be facing the action- he wants to be apart
of the party.
Jack responds to noises and can track us with his eyes... When he finds us he gives us a huge gummy grin.
Jack
still doesn't really care for bath time. He is very particular about
the water temperature- that being said we only bathe him every other day
or two.
I like to think of myself as a mom on the go.
We often leave the house in the morning for a few hours. We go walking
or to have lunch with a friend. Jack is an absolute angel. He loves to
walk in the stroller- he will make noises and play with his hands until
he falls asleep.
Jack is a strong baby, he loves to stand
on his legs... with our help of course. He has great control of his
neck and a heck of a grip.
