No Dr appt for this month - so I did an unofficial weigh-in today: 14.2 lbs. Thats another ~pound & a half in the last month.
Highlight of the 3 month mark: sleep! I think I can officially say you are sleeping through the night! Its been ~2 weeks so I don't think I will jinx it by writing it down - you now tend to go to bed around 8 and sleep ALL THE WAY through until 6/7 am. It is amazing! We haven't had to do any sleep training, cry it out, that some of your friends have tortured their parents with....your Dad & I are very pleased. I will brace myself for teething, or a trip, or something else to disturb your sleeping - but for now I am enjoying it. Jack & Lainey were apparently both good sleepers early on too - so must be your Dad has the good sleep gene :-)
You've recently made a new friend - a little stuffed monkey. I guess we should give him a name - seems like a good thing for Lainey & Jack to think off. I tried him out with you the other day & you immediately liked him - got all smiley as I had the monkey give you kisses. You wrapped your arms around him, pulled him towards you & yup - jammed him up against your face to try to get any part of the monkey into your mouth. I will admit it looks a bit like a make out session w/ the monkey :-) The picture doesn't quite do it justice - but you provided us all with a good laugh by managing to find the banana to suck on!
You are making major progress with your hands - no problems these days getting them to your mouth. You tend to suck on your first one or two fingers. I'm curious if you will stick with that or migrate over to your thumb at some point.
You can also now grab onto a lot of things - its been funny to see which things get your attention. There is a little cow toy that is hanging right next to your changing table. For a while you've seemed to be looking at him, chatting with him & reaching for him. You have now gotten pretty good at grabbing ahold of him & pulling him down on top of you.
Yesterday you took notice of the parrot hanging above you. (I guess you like animals - monkey, cow, parrot - ha!) I was so impressed that you could grab him & that I managed to capture it on video - that I finally got my act together to figure out how to import videos - here it is:
A few seconds after I stopped recording - you got extremely frustrated you couldn't get more to your mouth & kicked into high gear with your crying....Monkey to the rescue & as soon as I handed him to you, you happily shoved him towards your face.
We've been practicing on your tummy as well, developing arm stregnth:
Its Cinco de Mayo today - and we are going to a little fiesta at SFSF with your fan club!
Love, mama
