3 Months

Hunter Cole

...you are 3 months old today!  I cannot believe how fast you are growing...can you slow down please?

...you are wearing 3-6 month tops and 0-3 month bottoms.  You still hate having you clothes changed.  You are still in a size 2 diaper.  Momma has ordered you some cloth diapers so we will be trying those soon.

...you are close to 12 lbs.  You were 22 1/4 inches at your last dr. appointment on the 30th.  Still a little guy!  I took you to the doctor because you had been spitting up so much and the zantac wasn't working.  They started you on prevacid and I think it's helping more.  The decided to go ahead and do your vaccines while we were there...broke momma's heart, but you didn't do too bad.  I nursed you immediately after and that seemed to help.

...I just picked you up a jumperoo and you love it. I was skeptical about putting you in it so early but we tried it and you are so happy in it.  You can bounce yourself but we have to put a pillow underneath your feet because you are still too short for it!

...you still like your play mat and have started grabbing the toys and putting them in your mouth

...speaking of mouth...you are drooling like crazy!  I don't think you are teething yet though.  You love to suck/chew on your hands.

...I've sat you in the bumboo seat a couple of times.  You don't seem to mind but aren't super crazy about it.

...You have discovered the TV and love cartoons.

...Napping has turned into a constant battle!  Ha.  You hate to go down for naps and when we finally get you to sleep you only sleep 45-60 minutes.  Hopefully it gets better soon!

...We put you back in your crib overnight on the 9th.  You did great.  You slept until 4 am, I nursed you and then you slept until 10am!  Prior to that you had been sleeping 7-9 hours during the night!

...I took you swimming at Nana's this month.  You didn't seem to love it or hate it!

...you are still eating every 2-3 hours during the day...no formula in a LONG time!

...you act like you hate to be swaddled, but will not sleep if you aren't.  We have been leaving one arm out for naps and you don't seem to mind that as much!

...we still have the same bedtime routine.  Bath, lotion, nurse, bed.  Works pretty good.

...we had your 3 month pictures made yesterday.  You didn't wanna smile too much, but were a trooper!

...you are getting a little better about riding in the car.  I roll your windows down, turn your silly songs on and you do soo much better!

...you went on your 1st 4 wheeler ride on the 16th with daddy.  I was gone and didn't get to take a picture but he said you loved it!  You have been on the 4 wheeler a couple more times since then.

...sometimes you will find your thumb and suck on it.  We don't want you to be a thumb sucker, but it is so cute!

...Momma cut your thumb while trying to cut your fingernails.  You whined for a second and then you were fine.  I felt so bad though.  Needless to say it took me a couple of weeks before I would try to cut them again.

...We took you to dinner with us at Nick's.  We were pretty good through most of the dinner.  I also took you by the hospital to see some of my co-workers!

...I took you with me to get a pedicure.  You slept most of the time but towards the end you woke up and wanted to nurse...so that was interesting!

...We ate lunch with Nana, Aunt Nicole, and Logan at Cheddars.

...Went to Nana's for a cookout

...You spent the night with Nana while Daddy took me to dinner for my birthday!

...You went out on a pontoon boat for the 1st time in Celina.

...You went to lunch with Mommy, Kels, and Hames at Chilis!

...Took you with me to get my hair done.  Thankfully Samantha came to help out with you.  You exploded your diaper!  I'm sure it was a sight to see me trying to change your diaper with a cape on and my hair in foil!  We had poop everywhere!

...I took you to Dogwood park so Logan could play.  You were sleepy though and did not seem to enjoy it.

...Nana and Poppy came up to keep you while Momma and Daddy went to the lake with Nicole, Michael, Tonya, and Andy.

...Tessa kept you for a little bit while Momma took Logan to school for his 1st day of 2nd grade.

...Your aunt Nicole and I took you shopping in Knoxville.  You hated it!

...This month Momma got a taste of what it would be like to have 2 babies.  Once I you and Jackie for a while and then another time I had you and Hames.  It was tough but we managed!

...You had visits from Nana, Poppy, Logan, Hames, Wayne, Aunt Nicole, Lisa, Krystal, Mylee, Brittany, Joanna, Noah, and Josh.

...You went to visit Granny, Ma, Nanna, Poppy, Brook (a girl I work with), Pauli and her family, and Aunt Nicole.
