I can't believe Caleb is 3 months old already. Where has the time gone? He has changed so much since the day we brought him home. He won't go back for another check up until next month, so I don't have any recent stats to share. However, below are some fun facts about our "lil man."
*Caleb is sleeping through the night! We (and I mean Jeremy:) feed him around 11 p.m. He wakes up anywhere around 5:30 or 6:30 a.m. (This is quite a change from Mackenzie, who didn't sleep through the night until she was almost 1 year!)
*He is a laid back little guy. He goes with the flow and is soooo easy.
*He is happy and always smiling. He has a smile that can melt your heart.
*He is talking up a storm. I think he is going to be an early talker (like his sister was). He loves to coo and even does an adorable screech when he gets excited.
*He drinks about 4-6 oz each feeding. He is still on Prevacid, and is now taking 5 ml once a day.
*He still gets backed up every now and again, so we are adding a few tsp of Pear juice to a few of his bottles.
*He is great at tracking, reaches out and grabs hanging toys, will mimic you if you stick out your tongue, laughs out loud and can hold his head up completely.
*He is not the biggest fan of "tummy time." However, he can push up on his arms when lying on his belly. I believe there is a definite link b/t good motor skills and tummy time, so we make sure to fit it in several times a day.
*He LOVES his big sister and she equally adores him. She is so good with him and is a little mother in the making. (One morning she offered to watch him in her room while I took my shower. I was a little hesitant at first, but decided to give her a chance. I could hear her on the monitor reading him books and singing him songs. If he fussed, she would sweetly reply "It's okay, sweetie." Now, on the days that I don't work, I enjoy a nice, hot shower....compliments of my 3 year old!)
*He does great at his sitter's house and enjoys all the attention and stimulation there. He takes a nap there every day from 9:45 until 11:00. Thank you Lori, for putting my boy on a schedule!
*He loves riding in the car and falls asleep within minutes.
*He loves being out in public and looking around. He is sooo good. Sometimes when we go out to eat we almost forget he's there b/c he's so quiet....and not b/c he's asleep...he's just chillin'.
*He still prefers sleeping in his bouncy seat. I guess we will worry about him growing out of it when the time comes. For now, he is sleeping through the night, so I am fine with it...especially now that I am back at work. This summer, when I am home, I will break him into his bed.
*He is the little boy we always dreamed of having. We are so blessed to have two perfect, healthy children. We are enjoying every minute of it, because the second time around, we know how fast it passes!
Happy 3 month Bday, Little Man! We love you!
