Jacob is 3-months already! I cannot believe it. Where has the time gone? Little Jake has been the joy of our lives these last 14 weeks...I cannot imagine life without him. Jacob now weighs a little over 14 pounds...he is 23.7 inches, and is now wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 month-old clothes. He is OFFICIALLY sleeping through the night!!! 12-13 hours! He is also officially in a routine (I love it!) He wakes up, eats, plays, morning nap, wakes up, eats, plays, afternoon nap (shorter nap), wakes up, eats, plays, and a 1/2 hour nap, wakes up, eats, plays, bathtime, little bit more playtime, eats again, and night night. The mornings are the best, instead of waking to him crying, we awake to him gooing and cooing, I LOVE to get him out of his crib in the morning, because I get a nice BIG smile. Jacob has almost mastered the use of his hands. He now can grab things that he is reaching for, he has been holding his pacifier and trying to put it in his mouth!!! He is also sucking his fingers, and thumbs, and will get bored real easily if he has nothing to play with. And he is a mover and a shaker...he loves to kick those legs and swing his arms like a little monkey. Tummy time is getting better, he is holding his head up very steadily, he is now focusing on different objects during tummy time- he gets impatient because he can't seem to reach for something while holding himself up. Hopefully, this will teach him to keep going and learn to crawl eventually...he is rolling on his side, so we'll see...
This past month Jacob has also had his first ear infection. I am glad that we caught it early. However, he was able to finally get a taste of something other than his formula...and he loves that something- because it has a little sweet taste to it- that would be his medicine. Since being on amoxicilin, Jacob has been feeling a lot better. He was just so congested for a few weeks, and everything seems to be clearing up, his eyes are brighter, he seems more comfortable and much happier. Also this past month we celebrated Jacob's Baptism, 1st Thanksgiving, and the excitement of the Christmas Season...it has just been so wonderful. Like I said, I really look forward to the mornings to see his smiling face. The first thing I say to Jacob in the morning is "Mommy missed you." And I did...12-13 hours of sleep is fabulous...but I just miss him, that's a long time to go without seeing those chubby cheeks, hearing those sweet cooing and gooing sounds., and little kisses. I have loved every second of this awesome journey so far. I love you buddy.
