3 Months Old!




My sweet, sweet three month old!!! 
Jacers you are the best baby I have ever been around.   You are so happy to just hang out and be with us.  You have your moments when you want your mama but overall you are just happy as long as you are being held.  As I have reflected back on the last three months I can't believe how fast it has gone.  I have tried to savor every moment with you and I have held you almost 24 hours a day for three months.  I can honestly say that I have held you more than I ever allowed myself to hold Jacoby because I know how fast you grow and I wouldn't have it any other way.  You sleep in my arms when I am playing with Jacoby, you bounce on my hip when I am making dinner, you are constantly with me and I love it.  Here are a few things about you at three months.
1.  You love nursing and I have continued to feed on demand.  I really have no idea how often or how many times you nurse because I never look at a clock.  I think that has helped you be the happiest baby and so content.
2.  You start the night out in your cosleeper but when you wake up for the first feeding you usually won't go back to bed unless you are in my arms
3.  You are a pretty good sleeper.  You will fall asleep anywhere with anything going on.  You sleep when you want during the day and you are still sleeping all the time.  You always sleep away the afternoon for at least three or four hours.  I am usually holding you, going about doing my thing and you sleep right through it.
4.  For about a week you were sleeping six hours and I could not believe it!  I knew it was too good to last and now you are up two to three times a night.  When you do wake up you go right back to sleep.  You usually go down around 9- 9:30 and get up for the day around 8.
5.  You love to swing on the front porch swing and will do it as long as we let you
6.  You love to sleep in the ergo and love to be in it all the time.  You are trying to stand up in it right now though so I am not sure what we will do until your legs are long enough to go around me. 
7.  I love your laugh and your smile!  They light up my world and all of us try all day to get you to laugh.  You are also squealing- which could be my favorite thing!  You are so ticklish and we can usually get you going when you are on the changing table and we kiss you under your chin or if we tickle you on your chest.  It is the cutest thing!  Jacoby is trying constantly to get you to smile at him.
8.  You love to watch Jacobes.  You are very interested in what he is doing and you let him hold you for quite a while.  He adores you and I know you love him too.
9.  You will fall asleep for Daddy and Daddy is loving it! 
10.  You found your hands and you are constantly looking at them and sucking on them.  You try to get your entire fist in your mouth it is too cute!
11.  You are not a fan of tummy time at all!  You are still not holding your head up very well when you are in tummy time.  All you do is lay down when we put you down.  Lately you have been trying more but you are really not interested.  You are so strong with your head though and hold it up so well that I am not that concerned.
12.  You look just like Daddy with Mama's nose.  I can't get over how much I think you look like your Daddy!
13.  You have chunky little legs and I LOVE them and your other little roles!

Jace, we love you so much and the last three months have been amazing!
