Skid at Three Months

Our baby is not so tiny anymore. Here is what he's up to these days:

• He has found his hands and he grapple for anything: shirts, hair, even his face. It's a joy watching him latch on to your shirt. Always end up raising his shirt with his tummy exposed.

• When excited, he can kick his feet a full 90 degrees! But he hasn't manage to grab them yet.

• He weighs 6.2 kg. A couple of weeks ago, we met a 5-month old girl at the pedia's office who weighs 6.0kg.
  

• He has become a smile-machine! Smiles all the time, even while looking at the ceiling.

• He refuses to drink milk from the bottle after 5 pm.

• He can swing his head from left to right while lying on his back, but can barely raise his head without support.

• He sucks on his knuckles when hungry, making loud slurping noises. Hasn't found his thumb yet. Tried a pacifier but his fingers are more tasty.

• He likes to look at pictures as if memorizing every detail. We placed family pictures on a shelf so he may be able to recognize them.

• He is SO INCREDIBLY easy to care for. His coming to our lives was a long wait but when he did, he does not give us a tough time. He sleeps fitfully throughout the night, except when he has his shots. Sometimes I worry when he won't feed during the night but things always come out okay.

• His cries may mean milk, sleep or cuddling. Otherwise, he is perfectly content to play in his crib or rock in his cradle. (I know...I'm one of the lucky ones!)

He is so adorable and precious to us. We are so blessed! Love you so much Baby!
