3 months

October 31st, 2011

The time is flying by but I am ok with it for now.  With time comes MORE sleep!!  Dylan is now sleeping 8-9 hours at night and then takes another good 4 hour nap in the morning.  Definitely his mother's son! 

We didn't get to the doctor at the three month mark because he was there the week before checking up on his reflux, which has gotten better but still not keeping down all his feeds. 

We have developed quite the vocabulary and love to talk and hear new voices.  He will stare at the computer screen when I Skype with my parents and even carried on a conversation with his Uncle Ryan.  He was talking to his Mimi as well when he heard her voice over the phone.  

He is interested in EVERYTHING!!  Always wanting to look around and see what is going on.  The flight to Perth, Australia went very smoothly, he was so entertained watching all the flight attendants.  Dirk and I were able to watch two movies and eat our dinner while Dylan slept.  Next up for travel is Koh Samui, Thailand in December.  Now only if we could get him on a scuba diving boat....

Other new things we are doing: He can now put his pacifier back in his mouth when it falls out.  And everything must go into the mouth these days, especially his bib.  He can kick the rattle that hangs from his play mat for a good 30 minutes to entertain himself, but still prefers to look at people and faces.  He is liking his swing more and more and it seems to sooth him in the mornings.  

He is still loving bath time with daddy and we have even added early morning walks with daddy and Otto in the baby Bjorn.  He LOVES the Bjorn now that he finally fits in it. 

The last stats at the doctor were: 

Weight: 9 pounds 4 ounces

Height: 22 inches 

Still under the 5th percentile but he has managed to gain a pound or more per month which is right on target for steady growth... it will take him awhile to catch up.
