Month 3

Happy 1/4 year to me!!! I can't believe I have been here three months already. Everything is starting to get a little easier. I'm digesting food without getting super gassy, recognizing mommy & daddy, smiling, laughing, playing, and holding my head up on my own... I'm really starting to enjoy everything this new and exciting world has to offer!

Observing everything around me.

We have a nighttime routine that I really enjoy. I get a nice tummy massage, next I get a nice fully belly, and then I go to sleep in my crib. I've given mommy some good sleep this past month. Most nights, I only wake up once for a 2 or 3am feeding, and then I sleep until 5 or 6am. There have even been a few nights where I sleep until almost 5am! Mommy thanks me every morning for being such a good sleeper, now. It's always nice to see my parents' smiling faces in the morning and I look forward to what the day holds.

Mommy & Daddy bought me a new jumper that I love to play in. My legs are really strong, and so I can jump pretty high in it. I've played in it for so long that I've fallen asleep. They also bought some new patio furniture since I like it outside so much. I sit in a little bouncy chair while enjoying the fresh air, sunshine, and breeze. I've given some of my greatest smiles while sitting outside with them.

Enjoying the beautiful Guam afternoon!

I started going to church with my parents this month, too! While I spend some time in the sanctuary during the praise & worship, I always get hungry before the end of the service. Luckily, there is a room Mommy and I can go to so I can eat, and we can still listen to the sermon. I've met some other babies in there, and all the other moms are impressed with how big I am for my age.

We celebrated Easter this month as well. I watched my friends find Easter Eggs, a helicopter from my Daddy's job land at the base Easter Party, and a play performed at my church. They were all really fun, and my parents made sure to tell me why Easter is such a special holiday.

I almost forgot to tell you about my 2 month Drs. appointment! The Doctor said I was right on track for my age, and I was in the higher percentiles for length and weight, but my head circumference was in the lower percentile. Mom says that the size of my head doesn't mean I won't be the smartest boy in school, though. The shots hurt A LOT! I cried and cried and cried until I was picked up and held. I slept for a little while after the shots, but then I was fussy and only wanted to sleep in Mommy's arms. I got a low-grade fever, but with the tylenol the Dr prescribed, it was gone by morning and I was back to my normal cheerful self. I hope I don't have to get any more of those for a while!

I'm starting to get more and more wiggily, so my parents are anxiously waiting for me to roll over. I'm not sure what they're talking about, but once I figure it out, I'm sure they'll tell you all about it. I can't wait to see what the next month of life holds for me, so I'm signing off to find out! Good-bye until then!
