You are 3 months old today! I cannot believe how time flies, it feels like just yesterday we brought you home from the hospital. You are growing so fast and developing such a personality. Your daddy and I love discovering new things about you each and every day.
You are absolutely the sweetest thing. You smile all the time, and have the most precious cheeky grin that lights up your whole face. You are starting to laugh a little bit, you let out a little giggle and shriek when mommy talks to you in a funny excited voice or you see something you really like. You have gotten to be quite the talker, cooing, wooing, and ahhing all the time. I love it! Your still real talkative after your first morning feed and anytime your being changed. The changing table is still your favorite place, with your play gym coming in a close second. You still love your hands, they stay in your mouth all the time! You use them to soothe and comfort yourself when your upset, I am glad it works because you refuse to take a paci! You you love playing with your toes. Your toes are constantly moving, and have been ever since you were born. That is something you get after your daddy, constantly moving and curling your toes, it is so funny!
You love your play gym and you play on it several times a day, it will occupy you longer than anything else. You get so excited when your playing on it, you wave your arms and kick your legs so fast, I love watching you, and I love that you love it so much.It has a mirror attached to the top and you have the best time looking at yourself and smiling. You have learned to grab the toys that are hanging down and shake them to see what they can do. I love how your curiosity has come out, just today I caught you trying to open a box and pull the tissue paper out of it that was sitting by your bumbo on the counter, I ran to get my camera because I thought it was just too cute. It kinda makes me think you might be into EVERYTHING when you get older. I have heard stories about your daddy as a baby, so I am sure it is inevitable, haha.
You have started to really like toys. You love your Sophie giraffe, and a mini sophie-teether Granna got you. I now know why they are so popular, babies love them! You also have started to really take a liking to your bunny lovie (see pic). You will hold onto it and put it up to your face. It is so sweet. I am constantly having to keep a bib on you, you drool constantly, maybe your starting to think about teething? I know I got my first tooth at 4 months, so we may be in for an interesting month ahead! You love your swing! It can my mommy and daddy's best friend on the nights where nothing seems to please you. It is a sure thing to get you to relax and fall asleep. You are also a fan of your bumbo seat. We keep in on the kitchen counter so you can watch mommy clean and cook dinner. You are so content sitting in there and taking everything in.
Grayson you still HATE the cold weather! You will be perfectly fine but then a cold wind will hit you and you make the (cutest) little scared/surprised face and you start screaming, you don't stop until you get inside and bundled up. It is pitiful. It is going to make for a very interesting winter between me and you, because I hate the cold weather too.
You love love love bathtime! You love the water and have gotten to where you love to splash and kick the water. Our days are limited of having bathtime on the kitchen counter, sometimes I feel like more water makes it on the counter and floor than stays in your tub. Daddy is in charge of bathtime, and does it all by himself. I think you love that you get to spend that special time with your dad, and I know he loves it too. And you FINALLY like lotion time after bath! I thought the time would never come where you didn't scream at the top of your lungs during lotion time, but finally it has, and you actually like it now. I has become one of your most talkative times of the day.
Grayson I love you so much, and look forward to seeing who you become each and every day!
Love,
Mommy
