Boston is Growing up!

My sweet baby is growing up....right before my very eyes! Seems like there are so many new things you can do and it's like it all happened overnight!

You're growing like a weed and at just over 90 days old, you weigh in at 15 1/2 pounds, which means you've gained 6 1/2 pounds in 3 months!!

Last week I was waking you up and you were smiling so I smiled back at your adorable face and you squealed back at me!

You love to hold your hands together like you are praying when you are nursing. And sometimes you tuck your thumb between your pointer and middle fingers, for safe keeping.

We've been asking you to tell us a story and most of the time you answer us back with little coos and cute baby noises! You laugh and smile when we say "tell us more" or "really? is that all true?"

I've noticed that you are now able to follow my face and voice when sitting up, from the left to right. You're also able to hold onto things pretty darn well but I don't think you're purposely grabbing for things yet.

During yesterday's bath, I had you on your tummy and you were kick kicking away and splashing too! You love to suck on your fists and blow spit bubbles.

Anyone that stops to tell you hello, you greet them with a great big smile. And right before you get upset, you gather up your lower lip in a frown and wrinkle up your face before letting out a great big roar.

You've been eating rice cereal before bedtime for about two weeks, and just gobble down those 6 ounces! Your sleeping pattern is OK, but still a bit unpredictable. We seem to have a good night followed by a bad one and then back to good. You usually go to bed around 11pm, wake up twice in the middle of the night to nurse and then go back to bed from 7a-10am. This gives Benz and I a chance to have quality alone time in the morning. Then you're up until our afternoon nap, somewhere between 2 and 3pm. You get up around 6pm and then you're up again until bedtime. You're still sleeping in your swaddling blanket and love to stretch your arms up over your head when we unwrap you!
