Landon - Three Months Old

Landon boy, didn't I just finish up your 2 month post?  You light up our lives (all three of us).  We all love to hold you.  You're almost never laid down.

Firsts:  Laugh, noticing your hands/fists, nursery at church

News headlines:  Who has time for the news?! : )

Milestones:  You're really noticing your fists a lot.  Your legs are getting very strong.  You like to stand up in our laps.  You smile, coo, and talk to us frequently.  We love listening to those sweet sounds.  We've even gotten a laugh a time or two from you.

Measurements:  Probably right at 12 lbs.  Size 3 mths clothes are getting a little snug, but the size 6 mths are still pretty big.  We just opened our last pack of size 1 diapers.  Once those run out we'll make the switch to size 2.

Like Mommy:  You seem to have issues with allergies.  You're constantly sneezing.  I think we run the humidifier every night.

Like Daddy:  You love to be outside.  It calms you.

Like Eli:  You and Eli both have happy, easy-going dispositions.

Challenges:  Your only challenge is the spit-up!  Some days it's a big issue, and then sometimes we'll go days at a time without worrying about it.  You're a very relaxed and happy baby!  I sense that keeping you cool and shaded all summer maybe a bit of a challenge with all the going and doing big brother likes to do!

Our Days:  It's so nice not to be setting an alarm lately!  You eat for the last time and fall asleep between 9-10 pm, and will usually make it to somewhere between 3-5 am before you need to eat again.  After that you'll sleep until about 8 unless I've got to get you up to go somewhere.  You take a few cat naps in the morning, a good long nap in the afternoon, and another few cat naps before bed.  We're not on a real strict schedule with your feedings due to the reflux/spit-up issues.  Sometimes we're on a steady schedule and you will eat about every 3 or 3.5 hrs, and sometimes you only feed one side at a time and eat more often.  We just roll with it.  It works for us.

Funny/Favorite Moments:  Seeing you smile and trying to get you to laugh!

Nicknames:  Landon boy, Landy-cakes

Upcoming Events:  beach vacation and your 3 month portraits

Landon boy, look how much you've grown!
