3 Months

Dear Seth,
Mommy and Daddy cant believe you are already 3 months old! You are growing so fast right before our eyes. When we look back at pictures of you its just amazing how time is really flying by so quickly. In fact your 3-6 mo. onesie outfits are getting really snug and almost too short to fit you! You are gonna be long and tall like your daddy! You still like to be swaddled in your miracle blanket for naps and at nighttime. You are a little boy who loves his sleep, especially on your stomach...just like your mommy! You are successful at soothing yourself to sleep really quickly! You take about 3 naps a day or 2 if one is extra long. You are only able to stay awake for about an hour at a time before you start getting pretty sleepy. Your bedtime schedule is pretty strict and you are usually in bed between 6 and 7pm every night. We love it when you greet us with a smile and a giggle when you wake up, it truly melts mommy and daddys heart! You also love bathtime, especially putting your feet under the running water. You are a very hearty eater, right now you eat about 6 oz at every feeding time and an extra 4oz before your final bedtime to help you sleep a little longer. You only wake about about 1 to 2 times at night, usually at midnight and then again around 4am or 5am and start your day at 7am or 8am. Daddy loves to make you smile in the mornings and at night when he plays with you, I know he really treasures this time! You are not able to roll over yet, but you can successfully lift your legs and chest off the ground during tummytime, which you are not too fond of right now. You can really hold your head up for long time that is until it gets too heavy. Your back muscles are getting stronger too, pretty soon you will be able to sit up! You love to kick your legs while youre playing on your back, guess youre getting your crawling muscles ready! During playtime you love to play under your jungle gym and you can also grasp on to toys if we put them in your hand...you are also a pro and grabbing mommys hair! Speaking of your hands, this has been your most recent discovery. You put your hands in your mouth every chance you get, especially your right hand, so your daddy thinks you are going to be right-handed, but we will see. We are not sure how much you weigh but Im guessing it is close to 14 to 15 pounds. You definitely know who mommy and daddy are now and you smile at us whenever we come into your view. You can now follow us around the room with your eyes if we get up and move around. You like it when mommy sings and acts silly for you just to get you to smile and laugh. You are cooing more and more which brings us so much joy. We cannot wait to see how much you're going to change over the next few months to come. And before we know it we will be celebrating your first birthday...mommy will probably cry. Happy 3 month birthday Seth! We love you!
