3 Months

Luke Michael, you are three months old today! While times seems to be flying by, it's hard to remember our world before you were in it.

As of today you weigh 12 pounds even. (That means you have gained 5 pounds in 3 months!) We were so amazed at how long you are that I forgot what the nurse said, but I know you have grown over 2 inches since your 2 month checkup. I actually took you to the doctor today just to get your weight checked. Lately you have started to only nurse about 8-10 minutes, and I was worried that you weren't getting enough. You are just efficient!

You have settled into a nice schedule these days, although I know that will change soon enough. You are a great sleeper as long as you are tightly swaddled in your Miracle Blanket or have a blanket covering your face (in your car seat.)

Here is a rundown of your day...

7:30ish Wake up

8:00 Eat

playtime

9:00-9:45 Nap (in your crib)

10:00 Eat

playtime

11:30-1:00 Nap (in your crib)

1:00 Eat

playtime

2:00-4:30 Nap (usually in your swing)

4:30 Eat

playtime

6ish-7ish Evening Nap (stroller, crib, or swing)

Bath

8:00 Eat, then bedtime (in your crib)

Between 3am and 5am you eat again, then back to sleep until morning

You are such a happy and content baby, and for that we are so thankful. You very rarely cry and when you do it's only for a very short moment. We take you to church, restaurants, stores, and you are just perfect. You light up a room with your smile, and do so very often. And that smile of yours, it is definitely contagious!

You are getting stronger and stronger each day. This morning you rolled over for the first time and I assumed it was an accident on your part. While it may have been an accident at the time, you figured out it was a way of getting out of tummy time and now I can't keep you on your tummy! All you do is roll and act like you've done it for days!

You're the best, Luke Michael. We love you SO much and are enjoying this baby stage more than you could ever imagine. Thanks for making it so easy on us!
