3 Months- Jonah

Last Wednesday my sweet little Jonah turned 3 months.  We are just enjoying him so much at this stage and love seeing his personality come to life!

Here's what he's been up to.

Height:  Not sure, maybe somewhere between 24 and 25 inches

Weight:  Probably around 12lbs 9 ounces

Likes:  You LOVE your big brother.  Your eyes follow him all around the room and you just smile when we can get Benjamin to actually stop running around and pay attention to you!  You love being outside and going for walks in the front pack.  You love listening to music and playing on your play mat.  You hit the toys so intentionally now.  You like your paci but don't take it when you go to sleep sometimes.  You also really like your Floppy and sleep with him at night too.  You love smiling with your daddy and mommy and you also really love your bathtime.

Dislikes:  You didn't like your Bumbo at first but you're warming up to it now and like to be on the kitchen table while we eat.  You sometimes fuss in your car seat but did amazing on the drive back to Idaho a few weeks ago.  You didn't like learning to sleep in your crib last week but you just took an almost 3 hour nap there today (yeah!)

Eating:  You are still breastfeeding only and it's going great.  You eat every 3-4 hours (sometimes 2 1/2 and a few times you went almost 5).  I'm not sure how much you eat everytime but you're healthy and happy. 

Sleeping:  You still sleep really well.  I've started you on taking naps in your crib during the day to try to establish more of a regular routine and though you were mad at me for doing it, after a few days you caught on and are doing much better.  You take about 3 naps a day, go to bed around 8 or 9, eat one more time around 10 or 11.  Then you sleep until somewhere between 4:30 and 6, eat, and then sleep until somewhere between 8 and 9:30.

Personality:  You are such a sweetheart.  You are really content to be held, or watch your brother.  You are ticklish and have the cutest little giggle.  You smile all the time and goo and coo all the time too.  You are pretty mellow except when you're hungry or tired.  You're a cuddlebug and we just eat it up.

 why do I think he's going to have an ornery streak like his brother???

 

Highlights:  This past month you went on your first visit back to Idaho to visit your grandparents and aunts and uncles.  You did awesome on the drive and you loved the loving attention you received.  You are now sleeping in your own room and doing great so far.  You're also using the Bumbo now and I think you're close to rolling over...you've done it a few times by accident when I've put you down for tummytime with your arm tucked underneath you.

HA HA HA, this picture just makes me laugh.  Just goes to show you cannot make little boys pose for a picture if they aren't feeling it.  They really do love and adore their Auntie Amanda though :-)

Jonah, you are the sweetest, most adorable 3 month old we know and we love you to pieces.  You are such a wonderful addition to our family and we thank God for you!  Love you muffy!

Raise your hand if you're the cutest little 3 month old this mama knows.....why, yes sweet boy, you ARE!
