Just a quick update so I don’t forget.

At three months the baby

• Brings hands together and can insert them in his mouth.
• May be teething, as indicated by copious amounts of drool.
• Sleeps like a baby. Long naps, 8-10 hour nights.
• Is finally enjoying toys- playmat, bouncy chair, mobile all provide minutes of entertainment.
• Is delicious. I can’t stop eating his sweet pudgy cheeks and belly and thighs.
• Is extraordinarily good- natured. Doesn’t mind being passed around.
• Takes a bottle without argument.
• Is starting to giggle in addition to his huge, gummy grins.
• Looks enormous to me. Other people keep saying things like, “I forget how small babies are when they’re born.” I can’t stop thinking about how big he’s getting.
• Is sort of terrified of his brother. Probably related to the unrelenting screams in his face occasional squeezes, squishes, tackles and nibbles.
• Still has blue eyes. They are still dark, but getting lighter. I wonder if they’ll stay blue.
