3 Month Stud Muffin

Weight:  13 lbs 3 oz.
Length:  I don't know lol.  I could try to measure him but he doesn't like that so we will wait until his appointment next month.           
Size he is wearing:  Starting to get too big for 0-3 month clothing.  Looks like we are headed into 3-6. I love warm weather clothes and now that I have a cute little munchkin to dress I am loving it even more.  I can't wait to buy him his first swimsuit!  Also I just found out they are building a Carters near my house.  Baby Gap and Carters within a 2 mile radius of my home is a recipe for trouble!
Development:  He watches us as we leave a room and knows when we come back.  He has started giggling too!  I love hearing him laugh.  Too cute for words!  He is also no longer a bobble head and has discovered that he can grab things with his hands like his blankie and small toys and puts them up to his mouth.        
Funny things he does:  He loves to babble and blow spit bubbles like it's going out of style.  He even giggles and squeals at himself when he blows a big one.
Daily activities:  Eating, sleeping, playing on his play mat, making silly faces at us, pooping and farting.  All in a days work for a baby.  
Sleeping:  We put him down at 8 p.m. and he has been sleeping through the night.  YAHOO!  He usually sleeps about 10 hours straight.  He will eat about 7 oz when he wakes up because he is starving and then goes back to sleep for another hour or two.  
Eating:  He eats until he is full but it is usually 3-5 oz at a time.  During the day he eats around every 2-3 hours but that varies by the day of course.
Things he loves:  Bath time (but when you take him out of the bath he gets super ticked off), his play mat, recently the bumbo (but only for little amounts of time), being interacted with and talked to, kisses on his cheeks, and any type of movement like the car, stroller, walking around, etc.
Things he hates:  Stopping to burp when we are feeding him, when we reach a stop light while driving, and when you stop playing with him.    
How Mom and Dad are doing:  We are doing well and have adjusted to parenthood very nicely.  I am back to my goal weight thanks to breastfeeding because I have not seen the gym since last fall although I am still quite squishy =P  School is starting to come to an end and I can't wait for summer.  Dan is very busy running his business and works extremely hard morning, noon, and night.  We are loving parenthood and love our time spent together as a family of three!
