3 months

Nope, not joking, Milo is already 3 months old! Well, 3 months and 1 day old. He is getting so big, so fast. He is such a good baby and so much fun!!

Everyone told us (Adam especially) that babies don't get fun for the dad until 3 months. So Adam eagerly waited up until 12:35a.m. (birth time), so that he would know when Milo "officially" became fun.

We have also read/have been told that around 3 months they should start sleeping through the night (5-6 hours at a time). He has slept 5-6 stretches a few times, but last night, for the first time, he slept from midnight to 7a.m. in his crib, without any interruption! then he slept from 7-10. Such a good boy!! it was so nice! too bad we woke up at 4:30 and had to make sure he was ok before we could enjoy the next few hours.

• he can hold his head up, has had a strong neck since he was born :)
• roll over from tummy to back
• smiles ALL the time
• talks and coos ALL day
• "laughs" every day
• has giggled real, true, honest to goodness giggles a few times
• he has been batting at toys in front of him for a few weeks
• this week he can now grab toys. he has a hard time holding on to them sometimes, but he's getting better and can usually get the toy to his mouth
• he LOVES soft blankets. When he's tired the put him right to sleep, when he's awake, they make him smile
• He sleeps with his hands up on his head and/or face. Some times he has a look of "i've had such a hard day"
• Today he started scooting backwards on his play mat. He was just so excited about the stuff above him, but he managed to move about a foot off the mat.
• He loves to have his diaper changed.
• He takes lots of cat naps through out the day
• He has a hard time waking up on his own in the morning, but once he's awake, he's all smiles and LOVES to talk to daddy.
• He is an excellent, fast and efficient eater. He can go at least 4 hours, sometimes longer
• He likes to watch TV. If it's on, he finds a way to look at it (I'm trying to be careful with this one now)
• When people talk, he'll sit and stare, as if he's listening and cares about what's going on
• He loves to take baths and is starting to kick and splash a little
• He tries to mimic us, with his tongue and eyebrows mostly
• He only cries when he's hungry or tired. He fights sleep so hard!
• he sucks, well, gnaws his thumb! it is SO cute! sometimes he'll chomp on both. he tries to get it/them as far back in his mouth as he can, so he always ends up gagging himself 
• He loves mommy and daddy :)

We love him more and more every day. We love being his parents and can't imagine life with out him
