3 Months

Oh my how time flies! My little munchkin is three months old today. I can't believe it! He celebrated by waking up to nurse every two hours, how nice of him! Patrick is growing so much every week and I still can't believe that he grew inside of me. How amazing is that?!

Dear Patrick,

You are an absolutely amazing little boy. You continue to grow and amaze us every single day. This month was full of firsts. You slept through the night, from 10 until around 5am. Of course this hasn't happened every night, but you are sleeping very good. We moved out of your first house, you got your first pair of sunglasses, you went in the pool for the first time and loved every minute of it!

You are still nursing (I don't know if I am more proud of you or me for this feat!) about every two to three hours during the day, and you go about four to five hours at night. You are getting so big, I hope I can keep up with you before we introduce solids next month some time!

You are sleeping very well. You go down around 9 or 9:30 and sleep until 3:30 or a little later. You nurse and then go right back to sleep until 6 or 7. You are then wide awake and ready for the day! You still take two to three naps during the day, but they aren't as long as they use to be. You can sleep anywhere from an hour or two, but normally not more than that.

You have grown to absolutely love you jumper. You can spend hours in there if I let you probably. When you are held, all you want to do is stand. Your legs are really getting a work out! You still love your playmate and enjoy tummy time. You are pushing up more and more and are ALMOST rolling over. You have your hips there, but can't quite get your arms to work at the same time. I think it's only a matter of days before you figure this out though. You still aren't much for toys, but you do like this one little piano that plays music and lights up. You love lights and will stare whenever you see one, or a ceiling fan for that matter!

We don't have a Doctor's appointment this month so I am not positive how much you weigh or how long. Your Daddy and I did the best we could and our guess is you weigh around 13 pounds and are about 23 1/2 inches long. What a growing boy! You are still in size 1 diapers and in some 0-3 month clothing and some 3-6 month, depends on the brand! I am sure in another week you will be in all 3-6 months though!

Patrick, your Dad and I are so happy that you are in our lives. You are an amazing little boy and such a good baby. We couldn't ask for a more perfect blessing! I can't wait to see what you do this month!

Love,
Mommy
