Babies make funny noises

Hayden's new fun attempts at talking.

It's been awhile

I realized today we hadn't posted in awhile! Some days are busier than others, that's for sure. We are making excellent progress with Hayden sleeping in the crib, with only a few minor setbacks here and there. He goes right down for his daytime naps and is taking less and less "work" to go to sleep at night.

Hayden is three months old already! He's becoming more aware of his hands and feet and has become quite the wiggle worm. He kicks and kicks when in his seat and his play gym. We also tried out his Bumbo seat for the first time this week. He's not quite sure what to make of it, but is holding his head up pretty well while sitting in it. He's also started rolling over like a big boy! He is very good at rolling on his side from both his back and stomach, and today he actually rolled over from his back all the way to this belly! I think it was sort of a fluke, since he was mad while doing it, but it was no less exciting to me! He has also figured out how to roll OUT of his bouncy seat, which means the days of not being strapped into it are over!

He makes lots of fun baby noises and is starting to do so in response when we talk to him. He is growing all the time, and literally grew out of a pair of pajamas overnight! They fit when I put them on and when I changed his diaper in the morning, they were too tight at the toes for his little baby legs! It's so much fun to watch him play now, when he's becoming more active. He's also learning how to grasp objects. He loves to play the "sit up" game with mommy! While in the bouncy seat, I let him grab a finger with each little fist, and use the rest of my fingers to hold onto his wrists. Then we say "here we go!" and pull up slowly until he's in a sitting position. He holds his head up really well and we gently lay him back down to his reclining position. He laughs and laughs and we do it over and over again. He blows lots of baby bubbles, and is starting to need a bib to control all the drool! All in all, our baby boy is growing up!
