3 Months!

I can't believe Michael is already 3 months! He's finally growing and quit crying all the time. The last couple of days have been a great improvement. Two mostly happy days in a row! At his 2 month appointment, he was still only 9 lbs. He was spitting up constantly and was starting to not sleep. We put him on acid reflux medicine and he's gained 2 pounds in 1 month! He finally graduated from newborn clothes to 0-3 month the day before his 3 month birthday. The medicine helped him not cry all the time and quit spitting up everything he ate and he started sleeping again. He still was really fussy 3-4 hours of the day. So, I have gone off of dairy and in the last 2 days he's finally a happy baby!!! I'm drinking lactose free milk which isn't near as nasty as I was expecting but it's really sweet. I haven't cut dairy out 100%, but the dairy I eat is minimal. I don't know why I didn't do this earlier. I got so sick when I ate ice cream when I was pregnant with him. And when we were in Mexico, I didn't have any dairy and he was super happy.

Anway, poor little guy has had a rough start, but he's finally getting the hang of this whole body thing. He loves his little hangy toy thingy. He will play under that forever grabbing the toys and stuffing them in his mouth.



He loves hanging out with sister. He watches her and always gives her smiles even when no one else gets them. She sings to him and it almost always calms him down at least for a few minutes. He also doens't panic when she picks him up and doesn't set him down quite so softly.


He's happy on the floor as long as there are toys.


He loves to sleep on his tummy! Every time I put him down for tummy time he rolls over and rolls over and rolls over, or he falls asleep. Only today did he actually stay on his tummy awake and play with the toys. In the process he scooted completely off the blanket he was on. He's an AWESOME night sleeper!!!! He sleeps from 7:30ish-7:30ish and I feed him around 11 before I go to bed! He then takes a great morning 2 hour nap, but then doesn't really do more than a couple of 20 minute naps until bedtime. He's got the cutest smile and it's so fun to see it all the time. He also started laughing last week. He's really ticklish on his tummy and feet. He has been so much fun the last couple of days!
