My little buddy is already 3 months old today and is starting to look SO big! I've loved babies as long as I can remember and, as an adult, I have held to the fact that 3-9 months old is my FAVORITE stage. People have argued that I'd change my mind as my kids grew, but I truly love this phase. In my kids, in other people's kids, whatever. Watching Jason mature a little bit more each day, I'm reminded of why I love this stage. I just want to eat him up - he's so stinkin' cute! Here's a little bit about Jason right now:
- He still doesn't spit up. (can I get a hallelujah?)
- But he is starting to drool.
- He is successfully sleeping 6:30pm-6:30am, except when I wake him to eat at 10:00.
- He is outgrowing the bassinet (he sleeps there at night and in his crib during the day) so I'm going to put him in the Pack 'n' Play until he goes for a full week without crying before his morning feeding. It might take a while, but I want to reduce the chances of him waking Ryan once they're in the same room.
- He will only take cat naps in his infant seat, which makes pre-school drop off difficult on his schedule.
- Instead of finding his thumb, I've caught him sucking on his first two fingers to try to fall back to sleep.

- I'm trying to get him attached to the light blue version of the waffle blankets that Kaylin and Ryan love. We'll see if it "takes."
- Jason stays in his sleeper most days...it's just easier. Then I remember outfits like this one (below) and forget how cute he COULD look hanging around the house if I'd just get him dressed. (thanks for the hand me down, Becky!)


- I'm moving him from 0-3 month clothes up to 3-6, so playing dress up might be more fun than seeing him the same old gowns all the time.
- Until recently, he has had less than one bath per week. I'm just now getting into the habit of bathing him every other day on the nights the big kids don't bathe.
- We just started tummy time the other day.

- And using his Bumbo seat

- Jason is starting to look like his daddy, though Mike tries to say that he looks like me. Hello? Does he not look in the mirror?
- His red hair is starting to look blond again. I just don't know what color this kid's gonna be.
- However, his eyes are officially the coolest color blue.
- And, although he's tried desperately to "talk" for a while now, Jason has been cooing a ton in the last few weeks. It's the sweetest sound ever and it finally occurred to me to record it - check it out...

He is an absolutely adorable little guy! Adorable! I agree with you 3-6 months was always my favorite as well!
Katie - just fyi, I was really worried about putting my youngest in with her sister (3yo at the time), I think we finally made the transition at about 4 months and i think i woke her at 10 and then sometime early morning she woke up and went back down. Anyway. all this to say, my older one was never bothered by the noise. She slept through lots of crying without any trouble. So just a boost of confidence and a bit of luck for when you do move your little guy in with his brother!
What a cutie! My favorite stage doesn't start until 2.5 or 3 years....I'm glad you don't have to wait so long for yours!

Ps - I was the same with the video....couldn't watch it because I had to be invited. Maybe it's something to do with restricting viewing for those of us not in The Motherland???
I have seen it now - gorgeous!!
