Graden - 3 Months Old

It doesn't seem possible, but my little boy is 3 months old already!  It so weird how it seems like just yesterday he was born, but at the same time, I can hardly remember my life without him in it.  He is the most incredible little boy and I just love him to pieces!  At 3 months, he is 15 lbs. 10 oz. (87.2%).  He doesn't have a doctors appointment this month, so we just weighed him ourselves.  His 3 month clothes are pretty snug and so are size 2 diapers.  He has the chunkiest legs I've ever seen and I just love them!  He definitely got them from his daddy!  He sleeps from 9:00 - 9:00 (give or take a half hour) waking up between 4-7 to eat.  He eats every 2 hours during the day.  He is still exclusively breastfed and eats much faster than he used to.  I believe he had his 3 month growth spurt this past Sunday night (1/1) - Tuesday morning (1/3) because he got up twice Sunday night, ate just about every hour all day Monday, was extremely fussy and got up twice Monday night, but Tuesday he was back to his normal self.  His naps are very inconsistent.  90% of the time, he will not nap for more than 30-45 minutes.  He almost always takes a nap around 10:30, but the rest of the day varies.  He still sleeps in his pack-n-play bassinet right next to our bed and is swaddled in one of the Halo swaddle sacks, but we are planning to move him into his crib soon, even though it makes me really sad.  I love having him right next to me at night.  He is such a smiley, talkative baby.  We play copycat with him all the time and he seems to really like having us repeat what he is "saying".  He loves to suck on his hands and anything else that he has in his hands.  Sometimes he sticks his fingers so far into his mouth that he chokes himself.  He grabs at his toys if we put them within reach and he will grab the toys that hang from his playmat and tries to get them to his mouth, without any luck.  He does not like tummy time.  At all.  He has great control of his head and can lift it just fine, but he does not like being on his stomach.  We still put him on his tummy everyday, but he is usually crying through most of it.  He really likes his Bumbo chair, though.  We put his toys on the tray and he sits really well in it.  The Bumbo always comes up with him when you lift him out of it because his legs are so big.  He mostly likes to try and stand, though.  It amazes me how much of his weight he supports when we stand him up.  He can push up off the ground to a standing position when you hold him under his arms.  He also really likes looking in the mirror.  It so cute when he smiles and coos at himself.  He is still pooping about 6 times a day.  I thought that number was supposed to go down some, but it hasn't yet.  He enjoys bath time with daddy and usually gets about 2 baths a week.  He loves to "watch" TV.  He stares so intently at it like he actually knows what's going on.  Almost all of his long hair that he had on the back of his head has fallen out - except for a little rat tail.  It looks pretty funny.  The rest of his head is covered in fuzzy blonde hair.  God I love my little boy!!
