3 Months

Will is 3 months old!  And he is doing so much more lately!

We discovered that he can pick things up and bring them to his mouth.  He did it for the first time with blocks last week, and has been grabbing a lot since then.  It's so fun to watch.  Grandma bought him an excersaucer, so he has been going to town on that with all the fun toys attached! The funny part is that he sees the toys, but doesn't fully know how to use his arms yet, so he gets frustrated when he can't get to what he wants.  It's especially awesome, because now I can put it next to the dining room table, and he can play while we eat.  It seems like he wants to be involved in more of what we're doing lately.  He used to be ok just hanging out in his rocker while we ate...

He squeals all the time and it is so funny! He is most vocal in the morning, and he interacts with Billy now. He actually looks at him now...haha! I can get guaranteed fun squeals when I put him on my shins and do "airplane" - what a workout though!

Sleep is better!  He has slept through the night a few times, but now we typically get up just twice. It is really much more bearable than every 2 hours!

Our big boy is 18 pounds.  No well visit this month, so I weighed him on our home scale.  I'm quite sure that is still in the 90something percentile, since it is a 2 pound weight gain this month.  It seems like he flew through 6 month clothes, and now mostly wears 9 month.  We bought him some 12 month clothes this weekend...for next month probably!

And now we're West Virginians.  Something I thought I would never say!  I should think of a new title for the blog I guess.  Suggestions welcome.  It was a bit of a bumpy move, but now we're here and mostly settled.  After the mishaps with the moving truck being too small(oops!), the basement flooded within the first 48 hours.  Good thing Billy is handy!  We probably saved hundreds of dollars on a plumber!  He found 6 foot tree roots in the pipes.  Yikes!  All is better now!  Mom was a SUPER help with the move, and my dad came over the weekend to help drywall the basement.  It was so nice for them to spend so much time with Will too!  

The best thing about the new house is the dishwasher.  Not the model, but the fact that the kitchen HAS a dishwasher!  I spent the last 1.5 years in Pittsburgh washing dishes and it was awful and time consuming.  Never again - I hope!!  We are really enjoying all the space though.  We finally have room to unpack Will's toys - and he has a closet now too!

We're also waiting on the arrival of Will's new cousin, Lucas!  Any day now!!!
