3 Months Old!

My little man is 3 months old! I can't believe it! It seemed like just yesterday that he looked like this:
On his birthday

And, now he looks like this:



It's been a big month for Eli! He surprised us by rolling over on June 25th and now likes to do it all the time during his tummy time. I can barely get him to stay on his tummy. The other day, after not doing it for about a week, he proceeded to roll over 6 times!

Rolling over

He also looks like he really wants to crawl, but isn't quite strong enough to lift up his belly. Nick likes to say he has the mechanics down, but just doesn't have the strength yet. He's still jabbering away with baby talk and will give us a good laugh every once in awhile, or a cute little squeal. Pretty much his favorite place in the world is his changing table, and he will always give us a good smile at the very least. He absolutely loves the bath and has started splashing like crazy with his feet. Today he also started enjoying the "Where's Eli?" game, and I even got a good laugh out of him.

He has starting grabbing and holding on to toys, and his favorite are his keys, which he really enjoys shaking. He has started entertaining himself in his bassinet, especially in the morning. His favorite time of day is about 7am, and he wakes up and starts cooing and squealing with joy until we come pick him up. He can even put himself back to sleep when he wakes up too early for his liking from a nap. He just started sucking his thumb, and thoroughly enjoys munching on his hands when his binkie falls out, which helps him fall asleep on his own (yay!). He has also slept as long as 6 hours at night-last night, in fact.

Mmm, tasty hands

He has started teething a little bit, which hasn't been much fun. Thankfully, he only had a few really bad days, and is mostly just drooling and enjoying eating my fingers.

He's wearing some 3-6 month clothes, although he mostly wears 0-3 month. He also fits in a few 6-9 month shorts, which is crazy, and just moved up to size 2 diapers.

He's totally mastered holding his head up, which means we got to use his Bumbo chair:

Yay for sitting up!


I love my little family!
