3 months

Reid turned 3 months on the 4th. Here's a little update of what he's been up to: * he smiles SO easily - mostly at his big sister and pretty much anyone who talks to him. he loves watching sierra and anytime she gets close, he lights up. * he is laughing more and more and daddy found his tickle spot - his chubby thighs! it's a sure way to get some giggles * Reid loves sucking and chewing on his fingers! Unless he's eating or asleep, that's pretty much how you'll find him * he grabs a handfull of hair and just holds it - not too hard to do when the back of his hair stands up in a mowhawk * reid loves his bath, but poor guy doesn't get one as often as he probably should...it's busy around here! * he has started noticing toys more and is now reaching for things that hang over him when he's on his back. his favorites are the red bird (this was also sierra's first favorite) and the musical star on his play mat. * reid will sometimes roll from his tummy to his back, but not consinstently yet...and no signs of back to tummy. he just doesn't seem interested yet. * he is becoming a faster, more efficient eater - thank goodness!!! but poor little guy has really struggled with his reflux again this past month. hopefully we are getting the medicine figured out to give him some relief. it breaks my heart :( * in the last couple weeks (so maybe technically after his 3 month bday) he has started waking up again once during the night and his naps have gotten shorter and shorter (although last night and today have seemed to be back to normal!). i think it may all be related to the reflux. he sure had us spoiled with all the good sleeping before! * reid is so good when we go out. he doesn't even make a peep - just looks around and observes. but he doesn't like to nap when we're out - he may take a 30 minute cat nap, but not as long as when we're at home. but he is a good sport about outings!! * he's still sleeping swaddled and in the cradle (again, until the reflux subsides) - not much use of the swing anymore, yay! he sometimes will fuss for anywhere from 20 sec - a few minutes but can consistently fall asleep on his own. this is wonderful! time is FLYING by!!! we love our little dude :)
