Three Months

I couldn't decide if I wanted to combine Grant's third month with his first Thanksgiving. Since I'd use one of these pictures in both posts I'm just going to combine them.

So, here we are at three months already! Things are definitely getting better, if not a little easier. Our little man is now 11 pounds 8 ounces! At our last doctor visit (after our trip to the ER) they didn't measure him so I don't have a length right now. He seems to be out growing things in length before he ever fits into them in weight. We have a long, skinny little guy! Everyone keeps saying he's going to be a basketball player...that's getting old. How many times can you hear people say that? Plus it means I'd have to get interested in basketball and I just really don't want to do that.

It's true that they grow up too fast. Three months has flown by and every day I'm amazed by how much Grant is doing. He's doing really well with his "tummy time" and you can tell he wants to crawl SO bad but he just can't seem to put it all together yet. He's learned that when he's in his bouncy seat and he kicks hard that the toys on his toy bar shake and it makes him so stinking happy! There is a little toy that hangs down and he loves to concentrate on it and reach for it. He looks so excited when he grabs on to it. He holds onto his paci now and will grab for just about anything within reach...like my glasses (time for more contacts). And the best thing is that he is, for the most part, sleeping through the night. We'll usually put him to bed around 10:30 after his last bottle and he doesn't wake up until around 4:30 when we're getting up for work. And even then you can usually get him back to sleep with a paci.

As for me and Husband we're still learning but we're having fun. We still get peed on occaisionally but it's definitely not as often. We know Grant's poop schedule well enough now that I can give him a "real" bath without him pooping in the water. And when we all leave the house now it goes a lot smoother than it used to. We used to look like we were vacating the area due to a nuclear attack. But everything is getting better, calmer and into more of a routine. We're looking forward to how much fun we're going to have in the coming months.
