3 months

our little top banana is 3 months old today!  his quarter birthday!  yes, we sang to him this morning.  no cake, though.  just milk.  at the doctor's office on tuesday, he weighed in at 15lbs, 4.5 oz.  he's growing bigger.  we just went through his clothes & cleared out most of the 3 month things.  he barely fits into 3-6 month things.  6 month clothes are a bit of a better fit.  especially for jackets.  those are really hard to get on an infant in the first place, and it always helps if it's a little extra large.  he's started to put his hands in his mouth and suck on them a little bit.  he's talking & laughing more and more every day.  his squeals are so cute!  and the best part of the day is picking him up out of the crib after he's been sleeping.  he always greets us with a smile (even at 4am) and the best cuddling... he's always just so happy to see us!  we went to the doctor's this week for two more vaccinations and because i was concerned he had gastric reflux.  we're trying zantac.  he's not screaming in pain anymore when feeding, so i think it's helping, but he hates the taste of the medicine.  we started to mix it in a bottle with some breast milk.  it helps, but he still makes a yucky face sometimes when drinking it.  poor thing.  

we need to work more on tummy time.  he's never liked it, and because he would spit up so much & had the gastric issues, i guess we avoided it too much.  we're having fun working on it, though, and are finding new ways to play with him each day.  he's such a cutie!
