Three Months

Yesterday Paxton was 3 months old! He’s changed so much over this last month!

This month’s milestones:

He’s holding his head up!
The past 3 days he’s been enjoying his tummy time! This past Wednesday he held his head up more than 5 minutes continuously!
Wearing 6-9 month onesies & rompers (can squeeze into some 3-6 still) and mostly wearing 0-3 bottoms still!
Wore his last size 1 diaper this past Thursday!
Still wearing Bum Genius diapers on the smallest setting.
Exclusively cloth diapering and loving it! He only wears disposables on Sunday to church and sometimes when we travel overnight.
Sleeping all night long! I feed around 10 and have him down around 10:30-10:45 now. He sleeps until 7:00-8:00 most mornings! (Some mornings I have to wake him up, especially if we are going somewhere…I think it is just wonderful that I have to wake up my 3 month old!)
He smiles at us all the time! He’s laughing more and more!!
He talks and talks and talks! He carries on conversations with us and even with himself!
He’s traveled to West Tennessee twice this month!

His baby dedication was July 4! He was just perfect for the dedication and all of his grandparents were there!
He’s been playing on his playmat and interacting with his toys!
He’s a thumb sucker! We finally gave in to it after he was sucking it through his scratch mittens! He only sucks on it when he is sleepy though.
We weighed and measured him yesterday and he was 14 pounds and 26 inches long! (13 pounds 4 ounces and 25 inches long at his 2 month check-up…his growth is slowing a little.)
He went swimming for the first time at Nannie and Grandaddy’s! He loved it!
He just loves his bath time! He never cries but he sure does fight when I wash under his neck! I took a bath with him this past week and he splashed his feet in the water!
He sits in our laps and listens when we read to him! I try to read him a few little stories everyday and we started reading Little House in the Big Woods this past week!
He enjoys the Moby Wrap and we bought a new sling this week and he’s doing good with a hip carry in that!
Has a beautiful complexion! That is one of the things I hear the most from people!
He is a wonderful easy baby! We’ve been so blessed!
