3 MONTHS OLD !

We can hardly believe that our baby is 3 months old already! I knew it would fly by so I have been trying so hard to enjoy every minute of having a little baby for now. Things are going so well with Fraser – we feel so very blessed and super lucky. He is SUCH a good baby now!

I can officially say that he is sleeping through the night. Since just before he was 12 weeks old he started going from 6 hours to 8 hours, and then 10 hours… and now sometimes 12 hours! AWWW! He also sleeps so well during the day. He seems to have his feed/ play / sleep routine down pat and is really easy to get off to sleep. Particularly if we are out and about! Makes shopping so much less stressful :) He usually sleeps most of the day away… probably helps that he can resettle himself now that he found his thumb!

Yes… at about 10 weeks old he spat out the dummy and put his thumb in and hasn’t looked back. It is fantastic!!! I can tell when he starts to get tired too as he brings his hand up to his mouth and sticks out his thumb. The girls never really sucked their thumbs for extended periods so it is just so novel and cute! But more importantly helps him sleep through and I don’t have to worry about losing a dummy or getting up just to put it back in.

Fraser is such a happy baby too… full of smiles and is now starting to try and giggle!! He adores his big sisters – and his face lights up when Isabella gets home from school. He talks away to her like he is catching up on the day’s events. He is also smiling more at Alex – probably because she doesn’t poke him in the eye or stick her finger down his throat so much anymore !

At his 3m1w checkup his stats were:

Weight – 6170 grams (13lb 6oz)

Length – 61.3 cm (51.3 inches)

Head circ – 41.5 cm

He started to attempt rolling – he gets his legs up and then rolls onto his side. That is about it… but I am in NO hurry for this boy to grow up and reach too many milestones so quickly. He is also using more consonants when he ‘talks’ now instead of just ‘oooooo’ all the time. I love how he tries to imitate us when we talk baby talk to him.

He has also started to reach out for the toys hanging above him in his play gym – especially the little mirror :)

Can you tell we are absolutely madly in love?!
