three months old

henry turned three months old today! he has transformed into the most pleasant and smiley little baby. he has begun to follow somewhat of a schedule. he wakes in the morning around 6 or 7am, eats, and then goes back to sleep until around 8am. he's awake for 1-2 hours at a time and will take a good morning and afternoon nap (approx. 1-2 hours long). he will usually squeeze a little cat nap in in the evening too. he goes to sleep around 7:30/8 pm and wakes up only once at night to eat quick. we are both back in bed within 30 minutes or so. unless, of course, I fall asleep in the rocking chair. in which case it's anywhere between 1-2 hours. not good for mommy's neck! he's eating 4-5 oz five times a day plus the night-time feeding. bringing our grand total to somewhere between 24 and 30 ounces per day. this would explain his cute little mini-rolls on his legs and his adorable little double chin! he's in 3-6 month clothing, but can stretch into 6-9 month sleepers (we have another LONG baby here!). we are happy to report that the tummy aches that plagued the first 8-10 weeks are a thing of the past. it is comforting to me to know that he's no longer in pain! he has fallen in love with his fists. it's become nearly impossible to talk him out of chewing on them. teeth? it's a possibility. I started back to work just a few days before henry turned 3 months old. I'm glad it's just part time and even more glad that summer break is mere weeks away! I can't wait to spend it with this happy-go-lucky little guy!
