Three Months!

Happy Month #3, Levi!
Our little boy is getting to be not so little any more.  Three months already!
He really shows his age by wanting to do so many new things.
Starting to hold things and pick them up.
And try very hard to put them in his mouth.  Even if it's attached to something.
Tummy time is getting better.
We realized today that this crocheted blanket is a little too fuzzy for tummy time.
He loves to sit with daddy and watch The Pink Panther cartoons on YouTube.
And watch tv, too.
Houston, we've found our feet.
He tries to put those in his mouth, too.  Not with very much success.  Yet.
The monkey bum pants were a good pick for his new favorite position.  Roly-poly boy.

He seems to be hitting the three-month milestones that he should be.  We're still working on getting those neck and back muscles a little stronger.  Just this morning he used his arms and hands a little bit more to prop up his head during tummy time.  Which is a relief for me because of course I worry about his development and if he's on target or not.  The best advice I've found to combat that worry is that each baby develops at his/her own pace.  It's ok if they're behind on some things according to 'them.'  They'll catch up.  I think it helps a lot that I'm able to focus my time on him and work with him on things.  Both Tim and I are trying to make sure that he can entertain himself, too.  If for no other reason than we can't sit and hold him all the time.  He can self-soothe pretty well if I put him to bed and he's not asleep.
No doctor visit this month.  He has a bit of cradle cap which I hope isn't spreading to his face, so we might make a trip before our next appointment.  He's had some congestion, too, but the vaporizer seems to be helping a little bit. 
I put him in fall-ish clothes for the first time this week since the morning temps were a little cooler than they have been.  We went to visit daddy at his office that day and those extra clothes made it a little bit more difficult to buckle up that car seat.  Can't wait for bulky winter coats.  Always a new adventure.

And just a final picture of our little cutie:
