3 Months Old!

CRAZY HANDS!!

Noah's favorite thing these days --- his HANDS! Oh my gosh, he never stops playing with them. They are everywhere! Always in his mouth (which is fun when he is spitting up everywhere), grabbing everything in sight, and constantly latched together. He is SO strong that it is nearly impossible to keep them in control. He still loves his pacifier but his hands are always pulling it out of his mouth. He is capable of throwing it completely out of his swing now. He always has to have his pacifier when he is taking a nap, so we have about a 20 minute fight with the hands every time he takes a nap. The swaddler is about the only thing that can control them, but he still manages to get out of it every night.

Speaking of nights, those are getting so much better. He will sleep for 7 to 8 hours at a time now, which is awesome. I still am up a lot during the night because I get so worried about him not breathing. He is in a great routine now. He is extremely predictable so that makes it really easy when someone else is watching him for a few hours. Everyone that babysits always comments on how easy he is to watch. He pretty much does the exact same thing everyday. Up at 7, eat, nap at 8:30, eat at 10, nap at 12, eat at 1, nap at 3, eat at 4, nap, eat at 7, nap by 8:30, then eat at 10 and he's down for the night - then we start over the next day.

New things he is doing now:

Laughing a lot!
Talking more
Sitting up in his bumbo
Grabbing toys
Rolling over
Supporting his own weight on his legs for a few moments
More aware of strangers (which is pretty much everyone except me and Matt)
Startles easily (and cries every time)
Growing out of 0-3 month clothes :(
