Learning Life's Lessons: 3 Months!!!

We made it -- lil' man is 3 months (a few days ago) and is mostly colic free! :) In fact first thing in the morning and evenings are his happiest times now. He is growing and growing! I love watching him look around and explore his surroundings. If I hold him at the store...er..I mean WHEN I hold him at the store/park/backyard he just looks, looks, and looks all around. He is very much a people person and would rather look at people moving then toys or the ceiling fan.

I melt!

Stats: 11.8 pounds

sometimes Mommy lets me play naked!

Development:

I can hold up my head so good!

holding up head so well. I pull him up to a sitting position by his arms and he can hold his head up his shoulders 4/5 times. We try the Bumbo every other day or so for reading time and he can handle it for about 10 minutes before slumping.
lift up head and chest when on tummy
giggles at his own private jokes and when playing peek-a-boo
coo's a good part of his awake time -- including loudly to voice a complaint! ha!
still holding strong on sleeping 6 hours every night -- although we have had a very surprise nights where he slept up to 9 hours.
rolls to from side to side -- but not all the way over yet.
reaching for toys he can see
tracks objects well and follows mommy all around the room with his eyes
sits very patiently and listens to 2 full (although short) books at a time
sucks on his fingers quite a bit -- he isn't picky about which finger and sometimes he tries to put most of his hand in there.
found out Mr. is latose intolerant -- I cut out milk and he stopped being so gassy!

     Kylerisms:

his new love this month is his feet. Since getting in the new car seat, he watches them kick around and is fasniated! And several times a week he spends a good 5 or 10 minutes trying to catch them -- but they (the feet) have managed to elude him thus far!
right before he goes to sleep, he buries his face in my arm -- PRECIOUS!
Kyler has this incredible radar that lets him know when I fall asleep. He hasn't shown me the radar, but I know he must have one cause he always seems to wake up as soon as I go down in the day. :)
he LOVES to kick his legs. Sometimes when there is music playing, he marches his legs in tune with the music. VERY FUNNY to watch!
WIGGLES! He is a mover and that is without rolling. In the mornings he is usually off his positioner and sideways. One day he moved so much he knocked the protective pillow off the bed (see http://www.khalidnstacia.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-lil-wiggle-worm.html)
