3 months down

I have to admit, the time is flying. Everyone said it would, but I had no idea how right they were.

At three months Grayson:

• weighs about 12.5 lbs
• wears size 1 diapers
• wears mostly 3-6 clothes, but still fits in to some 0-3 outfits.
• is finally getting hair on the top of his head. It's a lighter, reddish color than the hair he was born with.
  
• is sleeping 10-12 hours each night, but has given up any real naps during the day. He prefers 4 short (15-20 minute) power naps instead.
  
• has really figured out how to use his voice. He babbles up a storm on the changing table and when we sit him up on our laps. He tries to mimic the inflections in our voice, which is hilarious when he starts screeching.
  
• is laughing pretty regularly now. He squints his eyes when he finds something particularly funny. He also screeches when he laughs.
• smiles instantly when he sees mom and dad.
  
• is starting to really understand how his fingers work. He'll actually reach for toys in front of him and will grab on as long as the object fits in his tiny palm. If the toy is too wide, he'll just bat at it.
• is a pinching machine. It hurts!
  
• knows that he has feet, but doesn't quite know what to do with them. Occasionally he'll grab a toe, but he hasn't tried to put them in his mouth just yet.
• is REALLY close to rolling over from his tummy to his back. He can get slightly more than halfway before his bottom arm stops the progress.
  
• does NOT like to be sitting still. If we're holding him and sit, it's over. If we're in the car and not moving, scream city. Same goes for the stroller or if I try to put him in the swing when he's awake. He wants nothing to do with anything that isn't actually moving.
  

Happy 2 months Grayson!

At 2 month, Grayson:

• weighs 11lbs 5.5oz (50% - up from 9lbs 5.5oz at 1 month)
• is 22 3/4 inches long (50%)
• has a 15 cm HC (Only 10% - poor guy!)
• still has VERY blue eyes that keep getting lighter. I'm really hoping they stick around. Koka's eyes are so striking.
  
• is wearing size 1 diapers and solidly fits into 0-3 month clothing. Although, Sometimes I put him into 3-6 month outfits because I didn't buy nearly enough small clothes.
• is smiling frequently, especially when he sees me. It melts my heart
• has started doing a 'half laugh' when he's amused. His little shoulders shake up and down while he coos.
• Still loves his play gym and talking to the hanging animals. He bats at the two monkeys until he can grab one of the legs. Then he swings it around for a good 2 minutes.
  
• Still likes tummy time and is getting REALLY close to rolling from his tummy to his back. Some days he makes it all the way to his side before falling back on his stomach. (I'm not ready for him to roll yet!)
• Has found his hands and discovered that they taste pretty good. He some how manages to get most of his fist in his mouth - but hasn't figured out how to suck on just a finger.
• Is sleeping for 8-10 hours each night. I can't believe how lucky we are. Seriously... However, he wiggles a lot in his sleep so most nights I need to pop into the nursery to make sure he hasn't shimmied all the way down his sleep positioner leaving his face smashed against the foam!
• Loves having his diapers changed and bath time. He smiles and coos the entire time. We think he's going to be one of those naked all the time toddlers.
• Loves being in the Moby Wrap or SSC. Typically he falls asleep about 5 minutes after going in.
  
• Is absolutely adorable.
  

Grayson is a month old...

At 1 Month Grayson is:

• 9lbs 5.5 oz (35%) Up from 7lbs 4oz at birth.
  
• 22 1/4 in (75%)
  
• 14cm HC (25%)
• is wearing newborn size diapers and a combination of newborn and 0-3 month clothing. We had to store his preemie outfits that he wore in the first two weeks and already one newborn sized sleeper
  
• is a big eater. This little guy can mow through 4 oz like it's nothing.
• is starting to lose what little hair he had on the top of his head. Hopefully it's the only time in his life that he'll have male pattern baldness.
• loves his swing when we turn on the 'nature noise'. Maybe he'll be a fan of birds?
• has greyish blue eyes that are getting lighter and and more blue ever day. I hope he'll have Koka's eyes.
• is starting to smile, but only on his schedule. Usually I can get a smile or two in the morning during diaper changes.
  
• has a habit of peeing all over during diaper changes. I think he's going for distance... He's peed on me exponentially more than Koka.
  
• loves bath time. We are now giving him on every night before he goes to bed.
  
• is sleeping between 4-6 hours at a time during the night. (In his own crib!) Usually from about 10pm to 5am.
  
• only likes tummy time when we do it on my chest. Then he looks at me and coos. It is ridiculously cute.
• likes to be in the moby, but is still fighting the sling
• falls asleep almost instantly during car rides or when the stroller is moving. He just loves the motion.
  

My little guy is already a month old, that's crazy!!
