3 Months!

This month has been crazy fun.  Cole is a learning machine!

We don't go back to the doctor until 4 months, but my guess is that he is around 14-15 lbs and 25 inches.  He looks so huge to me.  Can't believe how fast babies grow. 4 inches and 7 pounds in 90 days is a lot.

Cole also started holding his head up nice and steady.  He prefers to stand...trying to get him to bend at the hips and sit is no easy task!

He can now fall asleep on his own... no rocking or patting needed (most of the time).  He looks at his owl mobile or a fan until he passes out. This is a blessing, but also bittersweet, because he is becoming less snuggly and seems to prefer laying down by himself.  I will never forget those cuddling days though!!! Such a precious season.

We also had a huge milestone in nursing.  Cole made the switch from eating every 2 hours to now eating every 3 - 3.5 hours. Another huge blessing!!! The things you can get done in an extra 60-90 minutes.  Thank you Lord.

Cole has continued smiling like crazy.  He seems to be a very very happy baby.  He started cooing and jabbering on at about 10 weeks old.  I wish I knew what he was thinking.  He has a lot to say.

Our little man is now sleeping about 8-10 hours a night.  Sometimes he throws us a 6 hour curve ball, but I feel so blessed to wake up only once to feed him! We are putting him to bed around 8-8:30 pm, so even if he sleeps 8 hours straight, that is 4:30 am. I am trying to soak in this blessing, because I hear teething and a 4 month sleep regression are on the way......

And as always...here are the best pics of month #3!
