Crew at 3 Months

I'm on time - woo hoo! Today Crew turns 3 months old and don't let his onesie mislead you - he's PURE sweet these days! That's right, we've turned over a new leaf. Crew is no longer what I'd consider a fussy baby. He's happy and content unless he's super tired or hungry, but that's to be expected. My pediatrician told me that he'd grow out of the fussiness around 3 months and he was right. Not much has changed with night time sleep - still waking about 2am and between 5-6am every night, but then I put him back in bed to sleep until 7 or 7:30am. I've been working really hard on sleep training during the day which includes getting him on a schedule and so far, so good. With a little crying-it-out in the middle of his naps, he's sleeping for 1.5-2 hours at a time. Success! Next month I know I'll be singing a different tune as the 4 month sleep regression takes it's toll! Oh well, for now I'm just savoring the time with my sweet and adorable baby. Absolutely loving his smiles and laughs. He's proving to be quite ticklish. Definitely talking and stretching out a lot more too. Danny continues to think he's the coolest baby brother around! Happy 3 months Crew! We love you so!

Mid stretch - look how long I am!

Haircuts

For whatever reason, Danny has always been a scaredy cat during haircuts making me hold him on my lap while they do it. Crazy because I take him to a cute place with toys and cartoons on at each booth. Anyways, very proud to say that today he was a big, brave boy and sat on his own!

What's the big deal?

Why so serious, Danny boy?

Crew's Sweet Smile

I don't think there is anything better than your baby's first (non fart) smiles. Ahh, the little things in life...

And Crew woke up early one morning with a random leaky diaper, so I stripped him down and let him snuggle with me. Sweetest skin in the world!

January Beach Buddies

Danny and his friend Gemma hit up the beach last weekend with the dads. I wasn't there, but apparently Danny had to be talked into keeping his pants on. Later that night, they cuddled up with Jimmy, or rather Danny's Kindle Fire, on the couch.

And just a shot of Danny and Jimmy while out to dinner. Had to share because this night will go down in history as the time we took the kids out and they were both extremely well behaved. Score one for the mamas and papas!

The Hangover

Jimmy sometimes sports the baby carrier in the evenings to help keep Crew happy while I cook dinner. Just for fun, Jimmy and Dan put together a Zach Galifianakis/The Hangover look while he and Lita were in town.

Crew's 2 Month Well Check

Yesterday I took Crew to his 2 month well check-up. The doctor said he looked great and confirmed that the fussiness we're experiencing is a phase. As you can see in the pic below, he's a little below average on weight and head circumference, but still tracking on the his own curve - not dropped below - which is all that really matters. Not sure exactly how he compares to Danny at this age except that I do remember Danny always being 75th percentile for head circumference. We ended the appointment with three shots, which was traumatizing for all.
