3 Months old

Andrew is now 3 months old and is growing quickly! We think he is a little over 24 inches long now and somewhere between 14 and 15 lbs...or heavier, we haven't weighed him recently but our backs hurt more and more each day :) Time is flying by way too fast!

Andrew's favorite things to do these days are...

- look at books with mom (especially with owls, giraffes, dogs, airplanes, and trucks)

- smile at the toucans on his play mat and swing

- sleep for 8-9+ hours some nights (I am less of an emotional wreck on those days!) and only wake up once during the majority of other nights

- scoot from one end of his crib to the other in the nighttime

- kick his legs out of the Miracle blanket (a.k.a. the baby straitjacket) while he sleeps

- talk to mom & dad- his tongue moves around and he looks so intently at the person he is talking to that I'm always surprised he's not saying words

- stare and smile at other little kids/babies

- stand up on his tip toes with mom and dad holding his arms- he gets annoyed if he's on his back for too long!

- take naps during the day in his crib (yay!)- they're not long, but at least they're happening

- drool!

- eat his fist or fingers and almost choke himself

- play "Super Andrew" with mom and fly through the air

- kick his legs in the bathtub and push off things and move

- smile and smile and smile- he's such a happy kid!

- hang out in his crib in the morning making happy sounds while we sleep a little bit more

- relax and spend time with his dad (he especially loves watching dad play Guitar Hero)
