William is 3 Months Old!

William is now 3 months old and 15 pounds.  He has discovered there is more to life than just eating, sleeping and pooing.  William is just beginning to build a personality, which is so exciting. 

Things we've noticed Will is doing now:
  1. William looks at everything with the utmost interest. We can walk circles around the house and even though he's seen something a hundred times by now, its still SOO interesting! 
  2. Will holds his head up without support now for long periods of time...which means he can now use his Bumbo! 
  3. While sitting, Will mostly chooses one direction to look, but he is beginning to look left to right occasionally.
  4. Will responds to our voices sometimes.  If we talk to him from the side, he'll turn and look at us.
  5. Will does sit-ups when starting from an inclined position, strengthening those stomach muscles.  He is mostly trying to get those hands in his mouth and he thinks he needs to bring his upper body to his hands rather than vice versa.  However, when laying on his back, he does bring his hands to his mouth.
  6. Will loves to suck on his knuckles.  You can hear him throughout the downstairs with his loud sucking. 
  7. Near the end of the month, Will started grasping things.  He now grabs my hair and won't let go.  He grabs your shirt, your finger...but not toys or rattles yet.  We're working on that.
  8. Will has started smiling A LOT!  He is such a happy boy!  He definitely smiles more when he first wakes up.  At that time, he smiles non-stop and plays with his tongue, sticking it in and out, curling it, etc.  He is just happy to see yet another day with Mommy and Daddy looking over him.  Smiles in the morning are just smiles.  Smiles in the afternoon are on the verge of laughter and giggles.  He hasn't giggled yet, but he is SO close.  We are very excited and can't wait to hear some giggles.
  9. On the last couple days of month 3, Will started making vowel sounds and speaking to us in long baby phrases.  He is now telling me all about his day when I get home from work with little ooo's and aaa's....silently laughing throughout.  It is so very cute!

Happy Birthday William!!
You are Amazing!
