Graham's THIRD Month

So my computer is running out space, and so is my blog. These are things that I don't really have time to deal with right now. Oh, and our router broke, so wireless is out until we get a new one in the mail. These are petty issues, but these are the reasons no blog entries have been written lately. I actually typed up a blog entry last week, got so excited, and then tried to upload pictures to it. Then blogger said I don't have space, so I just shut it down for the night. 

Here we are again, and I'm going to try to figure out how to make it work tonight. Graham is THREE months old today, and he totally deserves this monthly update. He's wiggling and giggling beside me on the couch right now; he loves his cute pictures I took today. This past month has been quite a blur, and when I think back to the first few weeks, it feels like forever ago that I was longingly dreaming of the 12 week mark. We are so much more into a routine, Graham is a rockstar sleeper compared to even a month ago, and I'm just smitten by the giggles and huge smiles I get all day. Graham talks a ton, and it's my absolute favorite thing right now. Lots of fun baby sounds going on in our house. There are days when he sleeps amazingly well and days that are a bit more rough. However, like I said, Graham is getting into a great routine with naps and night. His schedule is very similar to a month ago except nights, and he's just settling into it much better. He's still too young though to predict which will be his best nap if we are at home for each of them. The afternoons seem to be better on a more regular basis. He's learning to keep his pacifier in better, and I just started unswaddling one arm because he was getting it out every nap and at night. It would wake him, and now he's just used to it being free. I'll probably slowly start unswaddling him but keep him in the sleep sack for a while. He usually wakes between 4:00 and 4:30 in the morning and then again at 7:00/7:15 to start the day. I can handle it, but I'm looking forward to getting rid of that 4am feeding in the next few months. 

Graham is mostly a happy baby, but he has his days. He doesn't like the car too much, and he doesn't sleep well outside of his crib. 

I honestly had forgotten how incredibly wonderful little babies can be. The newborn months are so extremely rough for me, but I already feel way out of that stage and into a new phase of getting to know my baby boy. My little Graham is just about the cutest thing ever. He loves to just watch his big sister and his momma play and dance and read books. He spends a lot of time on his play mat looking around and staring at the toys above his head. 

Now I'll leave you with some sweet pictures from the past month...
