AT THREE MONTHS YOU ARE:
-Blowing raspberries and chomping on your hands 24/7
-Talking up a storm
-Holding your head up all by yourself when you are held upright
-Balding! Your poor little head, where did all of your hair go?!?
-Getting those sweet little baby rolls :) and I LOVE a chunky baby!
-Making us wait on your first roll and first baby giggle, fingers crossed they are both coming very soon.

HEALTH
Little news is always good news in this department. This past month has been pretty uneventful and your next well check isn't until next month.
EAT
We've had another solid month of breastfeeding! You still eat about every 4 hours or so during the day and will give me a nice 6-8 hour stretch at night. You did go through a growth spurt at the beginning of the month though and you were eating around the clock about every 2-3 hours. It was rough but only lasted 3 days and it was back to normal. Right now you eat around 9am, 1pm, 5pm, 8pm, and then usually once or twice through the night. You are the most efficient eater and a nursing session with you is only about 8 minutes tops, even during your night time feedings. We've bumped up your bedtime this past month to be on the same schedule as your sisters and it's really nice for your Dad and I to have some child-free time before bed.

SLEEP
I'm still feeling pretty lucky with our little guy and his sleep habits, but actually afraid to be even writing that down because I know the dreaded sleep regression is right around the corner. Addie went through it at 4 months and Bella at 6, so I know it's only a matter of time. You are still sleeping in our room because we haven't officially moved your sisters into their shared room yet. We are hoping to do it in the fall, hoping :) You wake up around 8-9am every morning and nap on the go depending on what we are doing that day. Most afternoons you nap 3+ hours and it is amazing. You are ready for bed around 8pm after your evening bottle.

LIKES & DISLIKES
This month you have loved your activity mat, especially when it's positioned so you can watch Disney Jr. when your sisters have it on. You love bath time and kick and smile the entire time. Your sisters are your other mommies and you seem to love it, even though they are all up in your space 99% of the time. You have no idea what personal space is and probably never will, sorry little guy! Right now you are not a fan of tummy time, being in your car seat for too long, or being gassy (but who is!)
PERSONALITY
You are such a sweet little boy Noah, I swear you are the reason people get baby fever! You are so easy going and laid back and give the absolute best little baby grins. We've had the best summer as a family of five and have loved every second of getting to know you. It seems like you have changed so much already and I love how you are becoming more and more alert and aware every single day. Some afternoons when we are just hanging out I lay you on the floor in the play room and you are so entertained watching your sisters play. They lay toys around you, smoother you with hugs and kisses, and love to use their pretend camera to take your picture just like mommy does. I already can't remember what life was like without you because you have fit so flawlessly into our family. I am so excited to continue to watch you grow and watch your personality shine through in the months to come.

FAVORITE MOMENTS
-I never want to forget the way you look at me. Whether it is when you first wake up in the morning, when I pick you up from the stay and play, or when you catch a glimpse of me when I walk by you your entire face lights up and you grin from ear to ear. I'm training you to be a "mama's boy" and so far you are passing with flying colors!
-Our firsts this past month included taking you on your first family vacation to the Outer Banks, taking you on your first boat ride, and going to your first (of many) baseball games. Your daddy grew up with a baseball mitt in his hand so I am sure you will do the same!
-Any time you smile really big you stick your tongue out. You put your whole body into that smile and wiggle your arms and legs at the same time, you really are the happiest little guy I've ever met!
-Daddy likes to have "boy time" with you and the 2 of you watch your shows together over a drink aka when you drink your nightly bottle. He misses you when he is at work all day and your sisters steal most of his attention the second he walks through the door, so the evenings have kind of become your thing and I'm not sure who likes it more.
-I love watching you and your little girlfriend Molly together. Sarah and I were pregnant with the 2 of you at the same time and I love watching the 2 of you learn about each other on the outside world. You are already the cutest, little BFFs and we may or may not have already arranged your marriage.
-Bella has gotten her little mommy instinct this month and is constantly taking care of her baby dolls just like I take care of you. She calls you "brother" and makes sure everyone knows who you are when we are out in public.
-Addie has started nursing her baby dolls to give them her special milk just like I give you my special milk. It was a proud mommy moment I'm not gonna lie :)
