3 Months!

On August 16th Emmett Robert turned 3 months old! Recently Emmett has done a lot of growing and changing.

• Emmett has now officially outgrown his 3 month clothing.. on to 6 months. I hope he doesn't get so big that some of his fall outfits won't fit! I think he is weighing in around 14 pounds. He has also moved up to size 2 diapers.
• His sleeping habits have drastically improved, yay!! Emmett is now sleeping in 7 hour stretches almost every night. Mom is getting a LOT more sleep. Last night he slept from 9:15pm to 4:15am and then back up in the morning at 7:25am. So, he is really only getting up once during the night. It is great. :)
• Emmett has found his voice. He is making a ton of new noises lately. His favorite word was originally "AGoo" and while he still enjoys that word he has also introduced some other very interesting sounds. We enjoy our conversations with him.
• He has started to smile a lot. Unfortunately for Mom, Dad must be much more interesting because Rustin seems to have a way of making him smile AND laugh. It must be the way Dad smiles, dances, and sings to him. :)
• We finally found a pacifier that Emmett enjoys. The brand is Dr. Brown's. He has also learned to pacify himself by sucking on his hand.
• Emmett is now enjoying playing in the exersaucer and jumperoo both at home and at daycare. He is officially one of the "big boys" in his room (his room is for ages 6 weeks - 4 months).
• He has started to lengthen the time between feedings going up to 3.5 hours at times. This is much different than his usual 2 hour time limit.

It is a lot of fun having a 3 month old and especially one as easy to please as our son! He seems to be content almost all of the time. When he cries we almost always know just what he needs. I think we are starting to figure this parenting thing out.. :) We are looking forward to seeing what the next month's developments will bring for our little Emmett Robert!
