3 Months Old!

We can't believe our little guy is already 3 months old (well because I'm behind on blogging, he's actually 3 1/2 months old now!).  He continues to delight and amaze us every day.

Here are some fun things happening at 3 months:

*Nate has started "talking" a lot--even more so than at 2 months.  We think he's gonna be an extrovert like his mom--brace yourself James!
*He has started to hold on to toys like his rattle and he's getting better at grabbing things.  If I put my hands up in front of him, he'll put his hands up to mine like we're doing a high 5
*Tummy time is getting better.  A couple weeks ago he hated tummy time--cried the whole time.  Now he can last longer before starting to cry and he's getting good at raising his head up.  During tummy time he pulls his legs up and tries to get on his knees so we think he's going to be an early crawler
*Like a typical boy he is drawn to the TV.  Any time it's on he'll move his head or neck around to catch a glimpse.  We try hard not to let him see it, but sometimes it's funny to watch how mesmerized he is by it.  So far he loves watching football and baseball.  Big surprise....
*He is really into his "blankie."  Ever since he was a newborn we put a lightweight blankie on him and even when it was hot we'd keep a small burp cloth by him because he spits up.  Well now the blankie has become a source of comfort for him.  He likes to cuddle up to his blankie (whether it be a full blanket or a little burp cloth) and it's soothing for him.  James had his own blankie called Blue when he was a little boy and I think Nate is definitely following in his Papa's footsteps.
*We play with toys a lot more now.  Some of Nate's favorites are his Baby Einstein blocks, rattles, a wind-up toy that plays music and moves the pictures, his little instruments that make sounds, his Fisher Price CD player that lights up and plays Twinkle Twinkle and Row Your Boat, and anything with bright colors and parts that move.

Happy 3 Months Nater Tater!
