Happy 3 Months Lucas!

This is a little late, but happy 3 months Lucas! We love you so very much. Here is what you've been up to this month:
You weigh 17.5 lbs and are 25.5 inches long. You are in 9 month clothing
You are still nursing every 2-3 hours (about 8 times a day) and still take a long nap when big brother naps (mama loves this) you usually nap from about 1-4/5pm and then take a couple shorter naps in the morning and have just started going down earlier for bed around 7 when Caleb goes to bed.
You usually take a long sleep stretch at night from about 9-3 (but have been waking up in the night more the past week, growth spurt?)
You seriously love your hands. You get upset if we give you the bink before you are ready for it. You really don't like the pacifier at all unless you are about to go to sleep. This makes us very happy! I'm so glad you can entertain yourself with your hands and your toes ;) You stare at and wiggle your toes for quite awhile. Sometimes when I am nursing you, you jam your first into your mouth. You are so determined with those little hands. You have just started putting both hands into your mouth.
You drool. All the time! Guess we have ourselves another drooler...better prepare for a wet couple of years.
You love to give us smiles and coos. You light up when Caleb talks to you, and you talk right back. You have a had a couple conversations with big brother and it just cracks us up!
You watch and smile and coo if we put a toy above your head and although you hold onto some of your toys if they are within your reach, I don't think it is intentional yet. I think it is happening accidentally right now if the toy is close enough for you to hold onto it.
We love you so much Lucas. You are so content and laid back. Such a peaceful little guy. You bring us so much joy and sunshine! Our little ray of hope.

mama was trying to get you to smile, but every time the camera is out you just give me a wide eyed stare! 


We love you so much Lucas Gregory!
