Hunter Nicholas -- Three Months

Hunter turned three months about ten days ago and he is becoming so much fun!

Here he is at three months
Here is Lee Lee at three months



Here is Caroline at three months

Here is Howard at three months




Here is Tracey at three months



Weight: 
I'm not sure... but this month he has gone from a tiny little fragile newborn, to a little solid baby with a kissable belly.  He's certainly not a chubby boy yet, but he's getting solid, which makes it a little more comfortable for his siblings and friends to hold him.

Length:  
Too long for 3 month sleepers.  He's moved on to six month or 6-9 month sleepers.  They are too long for him, but there's no point in making him squash into sleepers that are snug when I have the next size of clothing sorted and ready to go.

Clothing size: 
Well, 6-9 month sleepers, as I said because of his length.  Also, he's in 6 month pants because 3 month pants were just too snug around his little belly.  Also, it's just so easy to move him up to the next size of clothing because I have it ready to go than try to bend his little arms just right to squeeze into clothes that he's outgrowing.  No need for him to be uncomfortable when he can wear clothing with a little wiggle room.  He is still wearing 3 month onesies and they are not too snug yet.

Eating:  
Hunter loves milk but his feedings are nicely spaced now.  He gets several bottles of pumped breast milk while I'm at work and he seems to have adjusted to bottles well.

Sleeping:  
Hunter sleeps in a bassinet next to our bed.  He usually sleeps very well from about 10:00pm to 3:20am.  He's asleep before 10, but usually sort of fitful.  10:00 is when he is usually sound asleep for the night.  It is wonderful.

New things/discoveries: 
  • First laugh
  • First time at the baby-sitters
  • First time away from mom for more than an hour or so

   New Accomplishments: 
  • Smiling
  • Holding up his head more and more
  • Sleeping in a little longer stretches at night
  • Playing peek-a-boo -- I really don't remember my other children enjoying peek-a-boo nearly as much as Hunter does.  There are times he will literally jump when I say peek-a-boo, and then he laughs 
  • First ear infection
  • First time on antibiotics (Also first time eating something cold)
