Happy 3 Months, Sweet Baby Boy!!

Such a big boy!! How are you 3 months already?!? You went from this teeny tiny little boy to a scrumptious roly poly that we just can't get enough! Your face...where do we start?? Just so precious. We could kiss your head and those cheeks for hours on end (and we do!!).

At 3 months, Colby weighs about 13lbs (we don't have a wellness check until 4 months). Colby is in 3 month clothes and size 2 diapers. To compare....our little Abigail was 10lbs 14oz at 3 months, wore size 0-3 month clothing and newborn diapers! Quite a difference in size, although doesn't Abigail look bigger than Colby in her 3 month picture???
Colby's favorite thing to do right now is to be outside cruising around seeing what he can see in the Britax carrier. Whenever Colby is fussy, we just put him in the carrier and head out for a walk if the weather is cooperating, which has not been a whole lot recently!!! Go away rain!! We all like to be outside so we are so happy that Colby enjoys it as well!
Colby absolutely adores Abigail. He is constantly smiling at her and he finds her quite entertaining. No surprise there. We all find Abigail entertaining!! Haha! Abigail is so sweet with her baby brother. One of the recent things they enjoy doing together is jumping on Abigail's bed together. This is right up Colby's alley. Whenever you hold Colby and his feet are touching the ground, he is jumping! He is going to love the jumperoo when he gets a little older!

Not gonna lie...Colby is not the best sleeper.  He is a decent napper, but at night....not so much. Colby naps in 45 minute cycles pretty much right down to the minute. We read that is pretty typical of a baby's sleep cycle and boy does Colby follow it! We'll even take 45 minute night cycles at this point, but unfortunately we're getting a sweet baby boy who is up several times an hour. As we have mentioned, Colby has very bad acid reflux. We were hoping to "fix" it with dietary changes on my part but unfortunately we could not eliminate it entirely so we started Colby on his medication on Friday. It has helped tremendously as far as the acid reflux goes. Now if it can magically make our little guy sleep....
Colby has the sweetest smile. He gives you these huge full face smiles and it just melts your heart. He loves to "talk" to you. Don't even think about just putting him down and going about your business. Colby wants to be involved and interacted with, which we love. We have some of the best "conversations." :-)
You make us so incredibly happy, Colby Colbs!! You are so precious to us!! We love you so so so much!! Happy 3 months, baby boy!! xoxo
