3 months old today!

Weight: He weighs 11.3 pounds! ( less then 5th% tile)
Height: He is 23 inches ( 5th% tile)
Head Size: 15 inches ( less then 3rd% tile)
Diaper Size: size 1 diapers
Clothes Size: Some newborn and some 0-3 months
Sleep: He goes to bed around 9pm, wakes up to nurse around 3am, nurses at 7am then up for the day at 9am. Naps for a few hours from about 12pm to 4pm , awake the rest of the evening ‘till bedtime at 9pm
Favorite Activities: Remi loves walks! He loves to look at everything. He still loves bath time. He splishes and splashes. Remi loves being carried ‘football’ style around the house. He loves ‘watching’ the dogs play. He loves listening to music.
Favorite Toys: He has this colorful book that makes crinkle noises and for some reason, it makes him laugh! He loves the hoop things that you can chain together. He loves the mobile on his swing. He loves watching the lights blink on  his play mat and he has these 2 rattles- blue and green- that he hangs on too and shakes like crazy!
Eating: Still breast feeding!! Woo!! He nurses about every 3-4 hours and goes a little longer at night
Talking: Oh boy!! This kid talks up a storm!
Milestones: He’s starting to reach for things like toys and hands. He can stand on his legs super well!! He can sit up pretty well now, not on his own, but he can sit on the couch like a ‘big kid’. He eats his hands all the time!! His hands are now always slobbery.

At our visit to the Urgent Care the other night (its his pediatricians office that turns into an Urgent Care at night) while the doctor was examining his ears, Remi started literally cracking up laughing! The doctor was laughing back and Remi would laugh even harder. She was pretty shocked on how he was laughing for apparently it is rare for a 3 month old be laugh like that at things. She commented on what a cute personality he has . Needless to say, Mike and I felt very proud at that moment.

Also, I have to brag about my “Mommy Instincts” that day. I just KNEW something was wrong with him but when I asked friends if newborns can get ear infections, every one told me no. BUT-- I had the gut feeling, mommy instinct, that he had an ear infection. So when the doctor diagnosed him with one, I felt a sort of pride. It felt good that I already “knew” my baby well enough that I could tell something was wrong.

Remi is doing just fabulous! He’s becoming so much fun! Its fun to get him to laugh at things and “talk back”. He loves color! His room is super colorful so we take him in there when hes fussy and he immediately stops crying and just looks around at everything.

We still can’t figure out what his hair color is. It’s brown in the shade but red in the light. His eyes are still SUPER blue, a light blue. His lips are getting bigger!! I have to trim his fingernails just about 2 times a week…but yet have never had to trim his toenails.

He’s our little Prince Charming!!! Wouldn’t trade him for anything!!
