Reece is 3 Months Old!

My little boy is three months old!

Here is my guy on the actual 3 month birthday (yesterday, the 19th).
At three months, I have no idea how much Reece actually weighs because we didn't go to the doctor this month but I'm guessing 13ish pounds. He is growing out of his 3 month clothes and beginning to wear some 6 month ones, especially sleepers. He wears a size 2 diaper. His hair is getting more and more blonde and is still super thin on top just like Ryan's was at that age.

Reece generally goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 and sleeps until around 3. Then he nurses but still has a hard time burping enough to comfortably stay asleep after that. He has slept thru the night once! It was a glorious night, but hasn't been repeated yet so we'll see. Because of his amazing ability to spit out his reflux medicine he now gets a bottle before bedtime and first thing in the morning (around 7:00) so that we can mix it in and he doesn't mind it. Those bottles are about 5 ounces each. He still nurses for his other feedings throughout the day, about every 2 or 2 and 1/2 hours. He still only naps for about 30 minutes at a time, just like his big sister used to. The picture above is of Hailey giving him a bottle for the first time. She was so excited and had been asking for weeks if she could. It lasted about a minute, then she didn't want to hold him anymore. ;)

Excuse the red, tired eyes in these pictures. It was about 15 minutes before bedtime.

Reece still loves his mommy the most and daddy claims that he only screams when I'm gone, but I don't believe it. :) Hailey can't stand to hear him cry and often covers her ears when he does. Ha! But if he's in his swing and crying she will go and turn it on or turn it faster to try and make him stop.

 He has found his hands and chews on them all.the.time. When his paci falls out at night I can hear him sucking on his fists to try and put himself back to sleep. He will hold onto a burp cloth or bib and chew on it but isn't really holding onto toys yet.

This little boy still loves to lay on his back and just kick his legs and look around. He is pretty good at moving himself in different directions too. Every morning when I come in his room to feed him, he has somehow completely turned himself around in his crib. He also started rolling over from back to tummy this month.

Reece loves to talk and coo at you. Sometimes he even sounds like he's singing! Hailey likes to talk back to him and often wants to know what he's saying. I think he's going to be an early talker like his sister.

We love you Reece and can't imagine our family without you!
