September 21 - October 25, 2006
October 19- October 25, 2006
(17 weeks old)
On October 15 I turned over from my tummy
to my back. Sadly, nobody actually witnessed my feat. Mommy put me
down on my belly in my crib so I could look at myself in the mirror while
she changed Rachel's diaper. When she returned I was sunny side up!
Since then, actually earlier today (Thursday) I turned over twice!
Mommy saw me do it both times. I turn over on my right side.
Mommy keeps propping me up against pillows
so that I can practice sitting - sort of like I am in the picture here.
Anyway, I tend to topple over quite a bit. I prefer to be stretched
out.
I am getting excited about my trip with
Mommy and Daddy.
Can you believe that I will be 4 months
old on Sunday?!

"Say Cheese..."
Latest Feat: Pulling out my paci or
popper as Rachel now calls it.
October 12- October 18, 2006
(16 weeks old)
I am getting much better head control
although I still tend to wobble a bit. I am also becoming a little
mover. I often wind up waking in a different spot in the crib than
when I went to sleep. I also move down in the bouncy seat and boppy.
I even almost launched myself off of Mommy's lap when I pushed off her
stomach with my feet.
I am sleeping consistently thought the
night about 9:30/10:00 p.m. until 7:30/8:45 a.m. Mommy and Daddy are
thrilled.

"Ian and Caroline sitting on a lap..."
Latest Feat: Rolling up onto my left
side (but only once).
October 5 - October 11, 2006
(15 weeks old)
And you all thought that Rachel had some
serious cheeks when she was a baby. Ha! I definitely think I can
officially claim the title of "Cheeky Cheeker!"
This week has been a big stroller week and
Mommy has the seat rigged so that I can now sit up and see where we are
going rather than just looking at the sky. I have even been staying
awake during our walks. Hopefully we'll have many more walking days
before it gets too cold.
I am officially laughing - real ha ha ha
laughing - not just the little giggles. I have a ticklish chin and
really got going the other day.
I took a bath with Rachel tonight and she
helped to wash my feet, legs, and belly. She didn't even complain
while I kicked in the water and mostly kicked her. However, she did
tell me that I have a little penis - What's up with that?!

"And I'll huff, and I'll puff..."
Teething Watch: I have been drooling
lately and really gummed Mommy's finger the other day.
She
thinks she felt something hard on my bottom gums. Maybe
I'll be an early teether.
September 28 - October 4, 2006
(14 weeks old)
I am really chatty and I like to LOL as Pa
likes to say. Mommy and I have conversations all the time.
Listen to some of my
grunts and coos.
I am starting to move around my crib while
I sleep. Mommy puts me down in one spot and I am often in another when
she returns to retrieve me in the morning.
One of my favorite activities lately is
kicking. I like to kick while on the Gymini and in my Kick and Play
bouncy seat but most of all I really like kicking in the tub. I can't
wait until I am old enough to go to swimming class. I should be an
expert kicker by that time.

"All smiles"
Eye Color: Still blue and holding.
Pooping Update: Not since 9/24

September 21 - September 27, 2006
(13 weeks old)
I am three months old now and I have
accomplished so much! I am sleeping through the night - 9:00/10:00
p.m. until 6:00/8:00 a.m. Mommy and Daddy are ecstatic! I am
sucking my thumb, although I still really like my paci. I have also
gained a lot of head control. Hooray for me!
On the downside Mommy thinks that I forgot
how to poop. I didn't go since before Tuesday and then finally on
Sunday I got a glycerin suppository as suggested by the doctor. This
however this was only after I had two full days of prune juice attempts with
no success. Long story short - I pooped.
I've been sleeping in my own room for over
a week now and on Saturday I got my crib! It is so nice and comfy.
I love it. Maybe that is why I am sleeping longer?

"Heads up"
Sleeping Record: 9/24 - 10:00 p.m.
until 8:15 a.m.!
