3 Months

It sounds cliche, but I cannot believe that Justin is already 3 months old. He has changed sooooo much in the past few weeks. Here's a little update of our Little Dude:

* (Knock on Wood) - The biggest change has been the improvement in Justin's fussiness/colic. He had one pseudo-fussy evening in the past nine, which is amazing! He has been such a happy baby lately, only fussing when he needs something (i.e. FOOD).

* He is still our big Little Dude and currently weighs 14 lbs. 3 oz. He is wearing all of his 3-6 month clothes (6-9 month under-onesies), and Mommy hopes they will last through Christmas. He is in size 2 diapers.

* Justin loves his Mam pacifiers. Unfortunately, so does Izzers, and she has ruined two in the past few weeks.

* Justin LOVES to watch TV. Two weekends ago he started watching the Hawkeye game (at least this is what Baby Daddy says, though I will admit that he seems to pay more attention when football is on), and now he turns his head toward the TV, often even when eating.

* His sleeping patterns have, well, lacked a pattern. He has started falling asleep around 9:30 each night. He usually wakes up once a night - between 1 and 3, sometimes twice - around 1 and 4, and last night he slept straight from 9-5 :) Naps are inconsistent - sometimes he naps a few times during the day, once during others.

* Justin eats 4 oz. every 3ish hours, and still gets some breastmilk each day. Mommy is so glad that feeding time is no longer stressful for you :)

* He is working towards rolling over, popping onto his side often.

* Justin's favorite toys are his activity mat (i.e. The Octopus), his mobile, and once in awhile his bouncy seat (he likes the light that changes colors at the top).

* He is becoming quite vocal - laughing, cooing, even squealing once in awhile. He has laughed at peekaboo once, and laughed at blowing on his tummy as well.

* He is less of a frog, and loves to move and kick his legs as much as he can - We think he is going to be quite the mover when he figures it all out.

* Justin still looks like his daddy, though I've been told that as he is 'filling out', he is starting to resemble me - gee, thanks ;)

Happy 3 Month Birthday J.Frog! We are looking forward to you meeting more of your family in the next month for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
