You just turned 3 months old and wow, what an exciting 3 months it has been. Your dad has posted about some of our adventures below, so I'll spare you the recap, but let's just say you're quite the traveler!
You've been a pretty easy baby since day one, for which your dad and I are extremely thankful! You're quite clear with your cues for being hungry (a lot like woody woodpecker with the head bob and "eh-eh-eh" sounds for the first couple of months) and tired (an incredibly pathetic/adorable yelp). And thank goodness you came out knowing how to do the breastfeeding thing since I had no clue. I caught on pretty quickly though, so we're rocking and rolling these days. I'm usually doing the rocking (in our awesome hand-me-down glider thanks to Aunt Cam and Uncle David) and you're doing the rolling, as in, man you're putting on some chunk! We've started calling you Momo, after the Nepali dumpling since you're all white and doughy and pretty yummy to nibble on, especially your chubby cheeks and your plump thighs!
In the last few weeks you've started cooing up a storm. Especially at 5:30 in the morning when you've decided it's time to be awake (not sure where you came up with that one) and for some reason the shadows on the ceiling really crack you up, which in turn cracks me and dad up. Unless we're ignoring you, since it's 5:30 in the morning! You don't seem to mind.
Once we're all awake, we really enjoy reading to you. You seem to pay attention and LOVE to kick the books with your feet. We read good ol' kids books like The Little Engine That Could, Goodnight Moon, Curious George, etc, but I like to throw in America (Jon Stewart) and Freedom of the Hills (climbing bible) every now and then to keep things interesting (to me). You also love standing up on tables (hope this changes before you're in college) and exploring the world around you while we carry you around (this one you can keep doing for the rest of your life, except for the being carried part). You've just started sucking your thumb, which is pretty cute and seems to help you fall/stay asleep, so more power to ya! I can't wait to see what fun things you do next!
