Walker at 3 Months

Walker turned three months the day before Christmas Eve, and we were quite busy trying to get out of town that morning! I took his monthly pictures in about 3 minutes total.  Walker took about 90 to 100 mL of breast milk in each of his 8 bottles each day, and was loving his Soothie paci still. (I'm trying to change him to a Nuk paci now…the Soothies drive me batty).

Wait. You're supposed to rock ME in this chair. Don't just set me here!

Mama!!

I have no words….this is cruel.

He was actually still in Newborn diapers, just because the size 1 he was leaking out of because they were too big (I thought he'd change sooner but he was still small).  He was wearing newborn and some 0-3 month clothes, and sleeping about 5 hour stretches at night.  During the day he wants to eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours.   Walker was still on his heart monitor at 3 months and still on the same 1.1mL of caffeine each day, as well as a multivitamin.  Just for the record, he takes his medicine (all liquid) in a little bottle with about 10 mL in it before he is ready for his actual bottle, and he takes it like a champ and never notices anything! Great trick from the NICU!

…almost got 'em in my mouth.  My mouth is like a moving target, SO difficult to find when I want to put my fingers in it.

BORING, mama.

Yes. I'm growing and my bear is not.  Clearly.

Walker weighed in at about 10 pounds at 3 months, and I have no idea about his length.  He learned to ROLL OVER (cause he's awesome!) at about 2 1/2 months from belly to back.  Such a smartypants like his sister!  We still can't tell what color his eyes will be, and his hair has hardly fallen out, thank goodness!  He started smiling right at 3 months and it couldn't have come a moment too soon.  I've been waiting to see those sleeping smiles matched up with bright open eyes and he finally has done it! So affirming to see a happy baby.  All in all, we are so blessed and happy he is doing so well, and I can't wait until he gets super chunky and roly-poly-like.  We love you Walker!

Eh.  Savannah's warned me about you and the photos…I am beginning to see what she was talking about.

Mama.  I really don't enjoy this and I need a friend by my side.  In case I fall over (highly likely).

Me??? Three Months???

Yeah…I figured it was time….
