First of all, we took 3 month pictures. How cute is this little man?! And where is his neck?
(We still need to take his photo with Penny in his 3 month onesie - coming soon, I promise!)
We went to breastfeeding workshop to find out how much milk Kyle is taking in a each feeding, and to get an update on his weight. At 12 weeks he weighed in at 14 lbs, 7 oz and gained an average of 1/2 an oz each day since our last weigh-in at 6 weeks. Right on target!
He's not a huge fan of tummy time, but I make him do it a few times a day. He'll be a happy boy (see above) for about 3 minutes, then it's all over. But he is very strong and I swear he is already trying to crawl. No movement yet, but he has the motions going on. Slow down, buddy!
One of his favorite things to do is take long walks with mommy in the Baby Bjorn. He loves being outside and looking around, while licking the Bjorn. Mmmmm. Our walks sometimes last an hour! We're pretty lucky to have a park as our backyard, so we'll walk all through it and watch the kids play in the playground, or the little boys practice for their baseball game, or the high school kids make out on the benches.
If Brian gets home from work early enough, he'll join us:
Typically, Kyle is a pretty good sleeper at night. He'll sleep 12 hours, waking twice (or sometimes once!) to eat. But of course I'm laughing as I'm typing this because last night he had me up 17 times. Ok, maybe it was 3 times, but it felt like 17. He went down at 9:30 pm, then was up at 1 am, 4 am, 6:30 am and then up for good at 9. I'm hoping we just had a bad night and will be back on track tonight. Life is much more fun when mommy is not up at all hours!
We got him a mobile for his crib, which has been nice. It doesn't put him to sleep (yet), but he likes to watch it for a while so mommy can get dressed! Yay!
I guess maybe it would help him sleep if I laid him in the crib the correct way. Oops.
Kyle's starting to grab onto more things, which is fun. He'll entertain himself in his carseat by holding onto his burp cloth, and he'll hold onto my clothes for dear life.
