Three Months

Sam is now 3 months old. Babies don't get a three-month visit to the doctor, so Chris and I did our best to weigh and measure him ourselves this month. Our best estimate is 24 inches and 12lb 13 oz - don't ask about percentiles or anything because I have no idea. I'm beginning to think he is small for his age, but I'm not really sure.

This month Sam really seemed to solidify his transition away from "newborn." He can sleep through the night and spends so much of his time alert and awake, seeming to take in everything around him. Sometimes he has trouble falling asleep for his nap because he seems to think that he'll miss out on something. He loves to "talk" to us and it even seems like he understand that he can use these sounds instead of crying to communicate with us. He's figured out that he has two hands and is fascinated by holding them together in front of his face. And apparently he rolled over from his back to his tummy, but I wasn't home so I cannot independently confirm this report.
