3 months old!!

It's official. You're getting so big that we'll be switching to months now.  I never understood how that worked. Before getting pregnant and becoming a mom, I never understood how to communicate in weeks.  I am still learning about all of your developmental milestones.  To be honest, my weekly emails from thebump.com have been key to knowing what's ahead. When I was pregnant, I loved learning which fruit or vegetable size you were.  It's quite miraculous to think back about that whole process. How you could go from the size of a blueberry into such an amazing little man.  Equally wonderful is the process of learning your personality and watching you grow. If I ever lack faith, I need to remember this journey.  It's hard to ignore the reality that there is a God orchestrating every heartbeat and brain wave.  Amazing.

3 months

• You've started feeling your head and ears, especially when you are eating
• You're getting more and more "chatty" trying to tell us things (well we assume so anyway!).  You watch us when we talk with such curiosity

•  Unfortunately, you regressed a bit on the sleeping front. You were consistently giving me 6-7 hours in a row but now you've decided you'd like to see mommy every 2 hours at night again.  I got great advice from a fellow mommy: everything is a phase, even the sleepless ones.  We can only hope!!
• You finally tolerate your swing (in small doses, but it's a start)

• You're using your exceptionally expressive eyebrows a lot these days because you're concentrating on figuring out things around you.  It's funny that you can say so much with those eyebrows, especially because they are completely blonde

•  You're getting so much better at grabbing. In fact, sometimes its very hard to feed you a bottle because you'd batting at it the whole time, trying to help yourself.
• You had your FIRST SWIM! I'm not sure you knew that you could enjoy it, but it was a start.

•  You rolled over for the first time!  We've been trying to make you do tummy time (which you're not hating immediately any more).  You did it four times in one day, so we figured it really wasn't a fluke. When you'd land on your back, you'd start to cry.  I think you were scared that you moved and suddenly saw the ceiling.
