Today is Parker's three month birthday. It seems like he has grown and changed so much over the past month and become so much more aware of his surroundings. He is currently weighing in at 14 pounds. All of his 0-3 month clothes have recently become too short and too tight and he has now moved up to the 3-6 month size. He is eating between 5 and 6 ounces of formula every three hours during the day and takes three naps ranging between thirty minutes and two hours. He is not the best napper!
Parker continued to show us his sweet and content personality this month. Unless he is hungry or overtired, he is always happy and smiling. He has started babbling a lot this month. When we are holding him he will just look at us and try to carry on a conversation. It is precious! His favorite thing to say is "ah-goo". His favorite toys this month included his rainforest bouncer and his Baby Einstein caterpillar that sings and lights up. He also loves sitting in his Bumbo and staring and reaching for the toys we hold up for him. He has recently started to notice everything around him and loves to look around the room for Collin and stare at the artwork we have hanging on the refrigerator.
Parker has also hit many milestones this month. He is starting to reach for everything we put in front of him. He has good depth perception and is able to get everything he sees. He also has started sucking anything, most especially his fist and his arm. Parker has also shown tremendous improvement with his head control. He is no longer a "bobble head" but can actually hold his head steady now. Perhaps the best news is that Parker is now sleeping consistently through the night! He usually goes down around 8:00pm, we wake him up around 10:30pm to "top him off" with milk, and then goes back to sleep until around 7:00am the next morning. Sometimes he stirs around 6:00am and comes into our bed to sleep until 7:00am. It has been so nice to finally get a full night of sleep again!
