Mr. James turned 3 months on Wednesday. I know I say this every time, but I can't believe how quickly the time is going! It's also hard to believe how much babies change in such a short period of time. He is so much bigger! According to our scale (when I weigh myself with and without him and find the difference), he now weighs about 16.5 pounds. He only needs about another half pound to double his birth weight! But even though he weighs that much, he's still wearing a number of his 0-3 clothes, which are theoretically only supposed to fit up to 12 pounds or so, and just starting to move into the 3-6 outfits. 
At 3 months, Jamie doesn't cry too much anymore, at least not compared to how much he used to. He mainly cries when he's tired, and if we let him get too tired, it's bad news, but otherwise he's a generally happy little man. He smiles and "talks" all the time. He also gurgles like it's going out of style. Yesterday morning he laughed for the first time. It was the most amazing sound I've ever heard, especially because it was so delightfully unexpected. I spent all day yesterday and today trying to get him to repeat it, but without much luck. He has rolled over from his tummy to his back, but that's another trick he doesn't like to repeat much. While he doesn't exactly like tummy time, he does much better now that he can hold his head up.
He has started reaching for toys or our hands, but only if they're already pretty darn close to him. 
He loves batting at the bees on his little activity gym thing.
As long as I keep him balanced, he can push himself up to standing and support all of his weight. He'll do this over and over, usually while standing on my lap. I think it's super cute. :)
Jamie is also sleeping much better for us now, most of the time at least. The past 3 nights he has slept for 8 or 9 hours straight, not waking us up til about 6. It feels sooo good to get a full night's sleep! We adore this little guy and can't wait to see what changes and developments the next month brings!

ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say exactly when gurgling came into style, but Jamie may be right that it's on the way out. :) Good pics, I really like all the facial expressions.
