3 Months (Luke)

Luke is 3 months old. Somehow he seems older. We can’t even remember what it was like just to have one kid.

At three months …

• Luke keeps growing. We’re not sure how big he is, but he’s in mostly 6 month outfits now.
• He’s still in his swing. We swear by 4 months he’ll be in his crib.
• Luke is great about sleeping, he’ll go 8-10 hours almost every night. Sometimes he’ll move around a bit around 4 or 5am, but he’ll sleep on daddy’s chest when that happens to make it until we’re ready to get up.
• We take  two bottles to daycare, but Luke needs a bottle as soon as we get home. We’ll do 6 or 7 ounces for daycare and usually 6 ounces at home.
• He is quite the talker.
• We had a bit of a scare with a fever. One night Luke was  cranky (which is unusual) and it turned out he had a 102 fever. We went to the ER at Children’s Hospital at 12:30am and sat around for hours before being told they couldn’t do anything to and just go home and keep an eye on him. Not a fun night. We got back home at 8:00am.
• Luke rolled over right before he turned 3 months. Like Gwynn he went from stomach to belly first.
• We’ve moved to the tub for bathtime instead of the sink. He really enjoys it.
• Luke isn’t as big into his pacifier as Gwynn was. If he doesn’t have one he’ll just as soon suck on his fingers. It’s nice not to have to worry about constantly putting in a pacifier.
