Adrian grows more active by the day. He is getting less content hanging out in his swing these days as he wants to be moving and playing. We got him a mat to lay on the floor with toys on it and he just loves to lay and kick at them and talk. He can really use his hands now. It still looks strange to me when I see him in his car seat with a rattle or keys in his hand. And of course as soon as something new goes in his hand it goes directly into his mouth!
He is starting to make new razzing noises which are very cute. He is practising his 'H's these days. And he is still sleeping through the night. Sometimes he gets up for a 5:30AM snack but often he can sleep from 9PM - 8AM!
Wow, it is hard to believe that December is here already. Adrian and I are going to have to get crackin' on our Christmas cards and Christmas shopping. If anyone is looking for us this week we'll be at the mall! (-:

14 weeks - still sleeping
We are happy to report that Adrian is still sleeping through the night. He usually has a late night snack around 11PM and sleeps until 6-7AM. We really hope this lasts. Although he has rolled over a few times since the first time he still hasn't quite mastered the technique yet but he is practising every day.
Adrian had his 3 month appointment and it was a good one because there were no needles involved! He was a very good boy and charmed the doctor as usual. He passed the 15lb mark weighing in at 15lb 3oz. He's getting quite the big Santa belly on him just in time for Christmas.
We had a lazy weekend and did the usual things: trips to the mall, church, grocery shopping and a walk with Barkley. This will probably be the last lazy weekend until after Christmas so we enjoyed it.

13 weeks - Sucking, sleeping and rolling.
Adrian has had a very eventful week in his development. It all started on Saturday when he figured out how to suck his thumb (his left one only). I think he has been looking for that thumb for a long time now because he never stopped sucking it once he found it. Then Saturday night he slept 6 hours straight! I thought I was mistaken and had just forgotten a feeding between 11PM and 5AM but he has done the same thing for three nights straight. I just don't know what to do with all of this REM sleep! I hope this will become our normal routine.
Monday I left him on his back on a blanket on the living room floor while I was doing the dishes. When I returned to check on him he was lying on his stomach, asleep and sucking his thumb. That was his first time fully rolling over and it must have taken a lot of energy because he was pooped afterwards.
We are starting to visit potential daycares this week. It really breaks my heart to think of leaving him with someone else but the time will come all too quickly. He is 3 months old today! We have lots of neat pictures to share but our high speed internet is down so we will have to wait to put most of them up.

12 weeks - I have 2 hands!
Adrian has figured out that he has two hands and he can do lots of neat things with them like interlock his fingers. He constantly has his hands together now and looks like he is always praying... ah... Mommy's little angel. Of course when he tries to put his hand in his mouth he gets 2 hands and usually makes himself gag.
He is also laughing a lot, especially at Daddy who is constantly acting a fool to get the precious laugh out of him. It's rather high pitched and painful sounding at the moment... I hope he develops a better laugh with practice (-:
We had to retire the baby bathtub this week as Adrian is too long for it! He has graduated to the big person tub already.

11 weeks - my busy social life
Adrian had a relaxed Halloween and spent most of it in his swing watching the trick or treaters come and go. He is looking forward to next year when he can get into the candy too!
I know I keep saying it but it is just so amazing how quickly the little guy grows and changes. I swear he looks different just from the past week. Daddy can even see changes when he comes home from a few days away on business. If possible I swear he is getting cuter!
Well we had another busy weekend. Mondays are Mommy and Adrian's day to relax. He has been sleeping all day! Saturday Grammie and Grampie were in town for a visit and kept Adrian very entertained. Sunday Brian and Tracey stopped in for a visit and then we went with Nanny to our cousin Lilly's 2nd birthday party. There were so many toddlers there; it's hard to believe that Adrian will be in that stage next year this time! We then went to Nanny and Grampie's for Sunday dinner and a visit. Adrian didn't sleep a wink from Sunday morning until about 8PM Sunday night so he was rather fussy and overtired by the time we got him home. But once he fell asleep he was out for good and is still sleeping now. Oh well, what better way to spend a snowy Monday afternoon than taking a nap!?!
