Benjamin 3 months

Benjamin 3 months

Benjamin continues to be a very happy baby. He smiles alot, especially while sung to, and has even begun to chuckle a bit. He still sleeps a lot, but his sleep schedule has changed a bit the past week at least.  Now he has slept shorter in the morning (30min-1hour), then a long afternoon nap (from 11-3pm or so) a few power naps and then sleeping for the night around 8pm.  Then the big news, waking up only once between 2:30-3:30 to nurse and sleep again until 7-ish!  So it's possible he has more of a schedule now.

We are adjusting well to life as a family of 4, and it seems like Benjamin has been in our lives always.

Here are some of his "traits" this month:
1) Sucks on his hands, constantly!
2) Loves to be on the changing table and watch the car mobile hanging from the ceiling.
3) Begun to coo and make happy noises
4) Can lay on his stomach for almost 5 minutes
5) Has favorite songs and smiles everytime he hears them (Scrub-dub and We are Family)
6) Enjoys laying on his play mat where he can look at the colors and bat at the toys
7) Is very calm and can just sit on your lap or in his highchair content and happy
8) Can fall alseep on his own..not much walking or rocking needed
9) Sticks his tongue out and smiles!
