3 Months

Colt is now 3 months old (as of yesterday). Since he doesn't go to the doc at 3 months, I weighed him and he is now 14 lbs 10 oz. Big boy, but he's only gained 1 lb since his 2 month check-up. I think he's bigger than Canon and Ava at 3 months of age, not sure about Luke. I just posted an update of all the things he's doing at 12 weeks so I will add just a few more things.

What he's doing now:

Eating 5 oz every 3 hours

Wearing some 0-3 month clothes & 3-6 month clothes (depending on the brand)

Size 2 diapers

Sleeping through the night

Sleeping less during the day

Taking naps on his belly

Sucking on his hands

Grabbing at objects

Loves watching his mobile

Loves to be talked to

Losing some of his hair:(

He had his first real laugh on Saturday (8/8/09). I was holding him face down while Canon was lying on the floor and he laughed at Canon while I was making him get close to Canon and bringing him back up. It was so cute!

He also has experienced his first cold. I believe that he got it from the one week he spent at daycare. He started out being hoarse, then the sniffles, then congested and now he's congested and has a rasping cough, but no fever, thank goodness. I've read that there's not much you can do for them this young except keep them a little elevated at night, use a humidifier and just wait it out. I hear him coughing all through the night, but he never cries:) Poor thing.

Well, tummy time has improved. I found this cute little tummy time mat for those babies that hate tummy time. It's got an elevated "seat" that spins and a mat that has different toys to play with. It's the cutest thing and he seems to really take to it. See picture below (this picture is from yesterday, so this is what he looked like at 3 months):
