3 months



Andrew is growing faster than I can blog. I just did this a couple of weeks ago. Anyways, my little A.D keeps growing and are delighted to find out more and more about his personality.





At 3 months
He loves to :
-make bubbles with his spit... very cute
-play with toys.
-look at his mobile
-see mommy in the morning. He always has a smile when I go to pick up from his crib
-to have his warm lavender baths before bed time
-swing. As long as his sibblings are nearby the toy to entertain him
-he is a talker. He would goo and gaa non-stop until he gets hungry
-to sleep on his crib. He is sleeps from 9:30 until 5:30, 8 straight hours!!!. Of course at 5:30 he needs have a snack, but most of the time he goes back to sleep until 8:30 the next day.
-Eat his index finger. He makes really loud sucking sounds once he has found
-have belly time

He doesn't like:

-To get out of his bath. he could lay there forever
-to be alone anywhere. He needs to hear noises
-when his bottle becomes empty and he wasn't done eating yet.
-to get out of his pj's in the mornig, but who doesn't?
-his pacifier. we tried and we failed
Can do......

-Believe it or not he is rolling over!
-can eat and never be filled, he nurses and needs a bottle afterwards still
-barely fit into 0-3 months clothes any more :( I cried putting the little stuff way
-wear size 1 shoes perfectly and size 2 but they fall out of his toes all the time
-still wear newborn socks> he still has tiny toes.
-grow his nails like a mad man. I cut them once every 4 days and still they seem too long
-make the biggest and most adorable frown in the world
-fit on 0-3 month baby hats (Julia and Josh were on size 24 months by the age of 6 months)

sleeping patterns:

-3 naps during the day, at any given time, but them he is usually awake from 6 until 9:30 that he goes to bed

-Nights are getting better thanks to those lavender baths. He can sleep for 8 hours at night


I love my kids They are marvelous. They do drive me crazy but they also make me the happiest mom in the world.

Now that Spencer is working every night until 10, I am treasuring the moments I get to spend alone with Andrew after I put the other kids to bed.

Sometimes I feel that as the third child he gets pushed to the side lines a lot and doesn't get all the attention he deserves.

So nights are my way of making out for it. Just this little boy and me. Looking at each other, no TV, no nothing, just him and I. I know he understands is his time of the day because he smiles at all the silly faces I make to him and grasps on to me as if telling me to not let go.

Don't you worry my precious child I'll never let go.

Love this post, those smiles oh they are precious, makes me miss the little guy.

So thanks to your lavendar baths Katelynn is doing much better only wakes up 2 times a night, compared to 5 I feel like a new woman. 10-5:30 that seems like a distant dream, but way to go little Andrew. Mommies are much happier when they get some good sleep.

Oh, and about hanging out again soon, once I am in my house, I want to have a girl's afternoon in once every week or so. We can talk to adults and let the kids all play together. That's my plan!
