3 Month Update

*as with my girls these updates are for me to keep and remember.

Weight / Length:  Around 14 lbs with scale at home.  Length unknown.  Wearing 3-6 month clothes as of almost a month ago.

Eating:  We are still breastfeeding (yeah!).  We have actually run into the opposite kind of snag (problem?) in that Nolan is refusing bottles now.  It happened during the holidays and I've tried formula supplement (new formula though), breast milk and medium flow nipple.  He won't have anything to do with anything but direct breastfeeding right now.  I hope it doesn't stick.  I may try the supplementing formula we started with but other than that I'm at a loss for what to try.

Development:   Nolan has good head control.  He still doesn't love tummy time but he tolerates it and doesn't cry immediately (the holidays and relatives holding him have probably put a slight damper on tummy time).  He loves to babble.  He is starting to grab things more with his hands.  He loves sucking on his hands too.  He has started laughing and squealing a little. 

Sleep:  He sleeps good at night.  Naps are touch and go though.  He recently started going to sleep around 8 or 9 pm though so hopefully that is why.  He sleeps 8 to midnight or 1 am and then again until 6 am (then another hour or two until I get up with the girls).

Fun Memories:  Nolan slept through Christmas.  He was a good baby for the holidays and enjoyed time spent with both grandparents.  We saw the ZooLights at Hogle Zoo before Christmas and he was interested in the lights and would stare but eventually gave into the warm snuggles of being strapped moby-style to me.

Looking Forward to:  More baby giggles.  Nolan being able to grab and play with more things.  Summer and warm weather to get outside more.

Love his little grins and giggles
