Yowza. Our baby boy is already Three months old!
This month has been so much fun. Jay is really
starting to become his own little person that is mesmerizing
to be around. He is such a sweet little boy
that is always happy (unless he's hungry or tired...
The boy has his priorities in order, people).
Sometimes it seems like overnight he grows and becomes like
that Kanye West song.. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
We have set more of a schedule with him for his feeds
and naps and his little body usually sticks to the same routine everyday.
He is getting to like tummy time (finally!).
I like to split it up so that he leans over his Boppy pillow
and watches some cartoons for about 10 minutes at a time
and then legit tummy time so that he can work on doing those baby
push ups. He's getting RIPPED... J/k, but he is getting really good at it.
This month he figured out his hands and feet
and LOVES to grab at his toys with both his hands and
his feet (he's got monkey toes that can grab items like his mom.
It sounds weird, but comes in handy in random situations).
Jay loves to observe.
I can sit him in his high hair or his Rock & Play and
he will just sit and watch me do dishes, get ready, clean up, etc.
it's the greatest thing ever!!
He still loves the outdoors. Weather permitting, I try to take
him outside to lay under a tree in our backyard for about
thirty minutes each day. He soaks up the sun and we chat
about Obamacare.. Kidding, more like the colors of the grass and sky,
but we will get to Obamacare and Global Warming issues later in life.
I also switched him to a big boy stroller so that he can see
out more and he really loves getting to see everything around
our neighborhood My mom got the coolest raft for little
babies (it says for ages 6-12 months but Jay mushed that requirement in the face)
and we tried it out while at AMI. He was lounging and loving life.
I also held him in the pool and he was kicking away.
He is definitely a Florida boy!
We went to the beach a few more times this month
and he loved it as usual. Jay spent his first Fourth of July at Little Gasparilla Island.
I am so happy he will be able to grow up vacationing there.
He actually sleeps longer than normal when we are at the beach.
He must just be extra relaxed =)
Speaking of sleeping at night, he has gotten on a great sleep
schedule going down at 9pm and not waking up until about 4-5am
and then back down until about 7 or 8am.
That makes me a happy mommy!
I have seen so much growth this month and I know that each month
he will start to do more fun things and I can't wait to see them.
However, I do find myself wanting to freeze time and have him
stay this little forever... Alas, that is the struggle for all moms, I guess.
This little girl knows my pain...
Nevertheless, I am having the best time watching him
grow and learn every day =)
Happy three months to our little buddy. We love you!!!
