G is 3 months old

Baby G turned 3 months yesterday - May 23rd!! As promised last month, I put G in the same outfit Wy wore for his 3 month post and I tried to recreate the pictures for comparison purposes. I couldn't find the blanket Wyatt was laying on so I did the best I could. So you tell me, do you think they look alike?? Can you tell which one is which??











You can tell that G has a few pounds on Wyatt at 3 months old. I think they are pretty close to the same length though. I read what I posted on Wy's 3 month post and some major differences are that G is not sleeping near as good at night as Wyatt did which makes for a very tired momma most days. He is also not moving near as much as Wyatt did - so if that means he won't be near as high energy as Wyatt, that might be ok with me! I can't imagine have 2 little boys with the same energy level! Here are some things that G is up to these days:



* He is a GREAT eater - very efficient!! He eats 6 times a day and will go at least 3 hours in between feedings - something Wyatt did not do so I am very happy about this.

* He sleeps in his bed at night and has been since week 2 (week 1 we were in CS but he was in a crib there).

* He knows, and has known since day 1, the difference between day and night. No problem with sleeping at night - he just wakes up in the early morning hours A LOT but does go back to sleep until 9 am most mornings.

* He enjoys his bath but wants to eat immediately after his bath - he usually lets me know he is NOT happy to be putting on his pjs and he would much rather be eating naked if that means eating faster.

* He LOVES his swing - again something Wyatt did not much care for. G prefers napping in his swing above any other location - something we need to work on this summer. Naps need to be in his crib so we have a summer goal.

* He is really enjoying watching his brother - I mean, who doesn't! The big brother puts on quite a show!

* Lots of smiles and very close to laughing.

* Lots of talking and cooing.

* Chews on his hands and enjoys a pacifier every so often. Not a must but will take it from time to time.

* Getting better in the car seat - not totally hating it but not totally loving it.

* He doesn't mind tummy time - not his favorite past time but does pretty good on his belly.

* He is enjoying his exersaucer and is holding his head up really well. Need to work in the bumbo more but he does well in that also.



G is a super sweet little boy and is a very good and content baby! We just have a little work to do in the sleeping department but I will take a happy, healthy baby over some sleep any day!



WE LOVE YOU GARRETT THOMAS!!! Now, let's start sleeping through the night buddy!

Ben is/was the same way. I think the first is a great sleeper to make sure we have more kids. :) He still will wake up multiple times a night from time to time.
