3 Months

Holden is 3 months old today. Time is flying by. Our love for our little man grows everyday. We don't know his measurement this month because he doesn't have a check-up until he is 4 months old. But we suspect he is between 12-13 lbs and a little bit longer. He is finally out of his newborn clothes and into 0-3 months, but that might be more about the cloth diapers than his actual size. Holden has had a busy month and is exploring his environment more each day.

Holden's accomplishments this month:

1. He smiles all the time, and started laughing. He smiles at mom and dad in the morning and once we get home and settled from daycare. Those smiles melt our hearts. We get a lot more smiles throughout the day but the first one in the morning is the best.
2. He has noticed Malachi, Holden thinks Malachi is the funniest thing, he is always laughing at the dog.
3. He still loves his bouncer and swing, many a nap has been taken in each.
4. He holds his head up almost all the time now, and can push up with his legs to stand (especially when he is mad) and push up with his arms during tummy time.
5. He follows objects around the room, especially dad.
6. He has a new found fascination with the ceiling fans.
7. Loves to kick and has found his hands, they must taste really good because they are always in his mouth
8. Bath time with dad is his favorite part of the day, and bedtime has become easier each day. Also he is pretty consistently sleeping through the night now.

What Holden has done for the first time in May

1. Started Daycare
2. Helped with his first garden (well watched dad work mostly)
3. Went to a couple playdates and met some cute girls
4. Went to his first Charlotte festival, Speed Street
