As his mom I know my opinion is biased, but isn't he just so cute!?

3 month update

Our little baby Joshua is growing up so fast! He's already 3 months old. (He was 13 weeks old yesterday.) He's really becoming more of a baby-baby as opposed to a newborn baby. He smiles all the time, especially at me and Brian and he watches us as we move around the room. He puts his hands in his mouth all the time and makes some really loud sucking noises! He will also lick anything that comes in contact with his mouth, including blankets, clothes (mine and his), stuffed animals, and toys. He also puts his little hands, which are still usually in tight fists, together.
We moved him into his room a few days ago. He is a really loud sleeper and would keep me up. Plus I think our moving around woke him up sometimes too. I was really nervous at first, having him so far away (like 20 feet down the hall!), but now I'm glad to have my room back! For the past two nights he's slept for 8 hours straight! Prior to that his longest had been about 6-1/2 hours.

He's been slightly better about being in his carseat. I hooked up the mirror in the backseat so I can see him and he can see both me and himself. I think that maybe just feeling bored and alone led him to scream. I'm really glad he's screaming less because car rides were intolerable! I was dreading every drive, but especially the one to Bakersfield.

He's really good at balancing his head when he's sitting. I have to work on giving him more tummy time. He can pick his head up but cries a lot! He also likes to stand. He has really strong legs that support virtually all his weight; we just have to balance him. He's pretty good at sitting when his hips are supported although he sometimes flops over.

He's not a very good napper. We're working on that. I try to put him down in his bed for a nap, but he just cries. He'll only nap in his bouncer chair, in his swing, or if I'm wearing him, and sometimes not even then. He'll get so tired and his eyes will be so heavy but he fights the sleep! I guess he's like his daddy in that regard.
