3 months old!

Pierson was three months old yesterday! Sometimes it is hard to believe and other times I feel like he has been here forever! He is becoming more responsive and so much fun these days! It is amazing how fast they learn and grow. Nate and I measured him to the best of our ability and it looks like he is coming in between 23 1/2 and 24 inches long and probably weighs around 13 1/2 pounds! It is amazing how much bigger he is now. These are pictures from his first week home.
Here are some things about Pierson at 3 months...

- He is sleeping through the night most nights. He will wake up between 5 and 6 and then goes back down until about 8:30. It is wonderful and Nate and I are feeling very rested!

- He loves to put his hands and fingers in his mouth. He has now started doing this to help himself fall asleep.

- I have been trying to get him on a schedule to no avail! Some days he sleeps, other days he doesnt and the days he doesnt sleep you would never know it - he is the exact same kid! He has always gone down really well and never cried when going down for naps or bedtime...until yesterday! All of the sudden he decided he no longer likes his crib...he would scream for about 5 minutes before falling asleep...who knows! He has pretty much decided he will go to sleep when he is ready...hence the picture below. He fell asleep while playing.


- He started "talking" a couple of weeks ago and it is precious to hear. If you talk to him he will usually smile and try to talk back. This last week he started talking while playing and when we ride in the car. It is so fun to listen to and Nate and I just laugh. Here he is talking to Granny (Nate's grandmother).


- He realized the other day that his hands can move objects. He is batting at his bouncer and activity gym and started grabbing things yesterday. Last night at dinner he was grabbing Nate's pinking and putting it in his mouth and sucking away. I think he was hungry! He got a hold of his paci the other day and was so stinkin cute!



- He is getting better at holding his head up when sitting up and during tummy time. Here he is sitting up like a big boy in his Bumbo.



- We read a lot of stories. This was story time a few days ago and Bently decided to join in. (Just a little jelousy going on).

We are having a blast and I cant wait to see what new things he is doing at 4 months!

I was going to upload some video but blogger isnt letting me do it. I will try later!
