3 Months Old

Time is flying by way too fast!!!!  Xander is growing so much it amazing.  He doesnt have another check up until 4 months, so I dont have his stats, but I wanted to keep the blog updated anyway.  Even though, I dont know his weight, I can say he is a BIG BOY!!!  He definitely doesnt miss a meal and has the rolls upon rolls to prove it!  Even though he is only 3 months old, He is already in his 3-6 month clothes and filling them out quite nicely!  We are going to have to go to 9 months clothes very very soon, but we are grateful for such a healthy baby.  Xander is also a very happy baby.  He is really starting to look at things!  He has some toys on his carseat that he loves to just sit and talk to on the drive.  Its beyond adorable!  He is laughing and cooing all the time!  Especially in the mornings, but unless its feeding time or nap time, for the most part, he is generally a very happy guy.  Xander is currently working on his trunk control.  He holds his head up really well for brief periods of time while laying on his tummy (his brain is so big, its get heavy and he has to rest before taking another peek at the world around him).  He is loving sitting on laps facing out so he can see and follows people around when they walk in front of him.  He is especially good at finding Daddy.  He loves his Daddy very much since he takes such good care of him while Im at work and searches for him constantly if he is not in view.  He is also beginning to be quite the couch potato and loves to watch the bright colors on tv.  His current favorite movie is the chipmunks great adventure (the one with the hot air balloon race- yes its old!)  But it has bright colors and fun music.  He watches this while we get ready in the morning and he seems to enjoy it in short bursts.  We are working on rolling over as well.  He can do it from his side but at this point doesnt seem motivated to roll from front to back yet, so we will keep working on it. When he is on tummy, he does act like he is already ready to start army crawling.  His coordination wont come for a while, but the desire to move and get things (like the dog) is very much there in the twinkle in his eye!!

Overall he is a healthy and happy little guy.  He has brought such joy into our home, especially during those happy smiley moments.  It just melts our hearts!  We love him so much and we are so glad he is our son!
