Oliver at 3 Months


At 3 months, Oliver:

-is heavy! We haven't weighed him yet but he's definitely growing.
-is wearing 3-6 month clothes and getting close to growing out of his Carter's 6 months pajamas. His Gerber onesies are 6-9 months!
-is in size 2 diapers.
-sleeps 4-5 hour stretches at night, but once or twice a week goes back to his old 6-7 hour habit. We still swaddle him and play the womb sounds on the iPod, which seems to get him to sleep longer.
-has been baptized into the Catholic Church.
-rolls over from front to back!
-is STILL on the verge of laughing. He laughed for Auntie Anna the other night while John and I were gone, but hasn't since.
-warns us he is tired by screeching. If we miss the signs or don't respond right away, it turns into a blood-curdling scream and it's more difficult to calm him down.
-loves when I sing to him. He grabs a hold of my mouth and tries to put his fingers inside, as if he's feeling the way my mouth moves when I sing. (Or is that his way of telling me to shut up?)
-seems to have a preference of toys to play with. Rainbow bunny and the crinkly elephant are his favorites.
-is so close to holding his head up perfectly by himself!
-found his thumb and LOVES to suck on it.
-blows raspberries and spits all over himself! He'll copy you if you do it first.
-loves head massages and having his hair brushed.
-still has cradle cap, and what we think is eczema. Usually a bath, some fragrance-free lotion and baby eczema cream helps the flare up.
-gets cuter and cuter every day.
