3 months old

Little man is already 3 months old! He's getting so big and starting to show his even bigger personality :) He really wasn't all that thrilled about being in his Bumbo-he was a little grumpy at the moment. The only reason he isn't fussing in this picture is because he is outside. He LOVES LOVES LOVES to be outside!
At 3 months he is:
-sleeping through the night-IN HIS OWN CRIB!!! This is a huge accomplishment for not only him, but for me! It was so hard to let him go to his own room. I was a worry wort and would go and look in on him every couple of hours. He is doing great though.
-still going on walks about 3-4 times a day :) We usually go around the neighborhood but about 2-3 times a week we go to Faulkner Park north of Lindale. We will really miss it! It is soo beautiful! We just recently found a nature trail that winds around in the forest that is just breath taking!
-less fussy than a month ago but still is pretty fussy. He still spits up after every meal and has a lot of bubbles but he seems much happier over all.
-SMILES SO BIG! He loves to smile and look at you. He really loves to smile at his green toy snake on his carseat and talk to it!
-Talks A LOT! It is the sweetest thing ever! He will just coo and coo! He loves to sit in the corner of the couch and talk to us. He will even get all tickled and squeal!
-has almost complete control of his head-except when he's tired. He likes to look all around and be held where he can see what's going on.
-he's very curious and now he is really enjoying his playmat
-he wears size 3 diapers now. All his clothes are different sizes but usually 6-9 months is what he is wearing.
-he can roll over from his belly to his back. I think his primary motivation is to get off his belly-he's not really a fan of belly time. He kicks and pushes with his feet really well.
-has the bluest eyes!
-can now reach out and hold what he is looking at. He's very curious and likes to stick things in his mouth.

-he loves to take naps in mama's bed-although I know this is a no no-he sleeps so peaceful and that is more important in my book and it's only for short periods of time.
-he likes bath time and is starting to like splashing.
-when he cries it sounds like he is talking-most of the time it sounds like "mama" but only when he's crying :( and he has real tears :(
-he hates riding in the car, which makes the 6 hour trips from Angelo to Lindale a nightmare. However, we will only have one more of those fun trips :-D
-he has way more hair now and I still can't tell what color it is. Most of the time it looks blonde but there are other moments where it could be strawberry blonde.
-he is eating about 2-2.5 hours-still strictly breastfed
-is the LIGHT OF OUR LIVES! Thank God for our sweet Tate! We love him more than anything in the world! I pray he continues to grow to be a happy healthy boy!
xoxo
