Jaxon ~ 3 Months

Jaxon is 3 months old!

Quick update - Jaxon did great during the CT scan today, and we were very relieved to receive good news. The results did not show that there are any problems! :) Our prayers were answered!

Jaxon ...

... continues to grow! He now weighs 16 pounds 11 ounces! Very healthy! :)

... loves to eat! I am still nursing him, but he continues to get one formula bottle (about 5 ounces) every night. Due to his reflux, we have also started him on cereal already. The doctor thought that might help keep some of his food down. So far we have only put cereal into a few bottles - he seems to like it!

... is so alert and loves to interact with us. He "talks" all the time and smiles so much! Jaxon and I snuggled almost all of today (I got nothing done), and it was so fun to have him respond to me while I was talking to him. Today he reminded me so much of Jayla! It's amazing how much we are reminded of the girls when they were babies.

... tested out daycare this week! He went 1 1/2 days, and he did great! They told us he was such a good baby and so happy for them! He starts full-time on Tuesday!

... loves the Bumbo! Tonight I put him in the Bumbo by some toys, but he just sat there and watched football on TV. Made his daddy happy! :)

... has rolled from back to tummy a couple of times (first time on Christmas Day). I don't think it will be too long before he's doing it often!

... is a great sleeper! Jaxon will sleep from 11:00 until at least 6:00. If I didn't wake him up to feed him before work, he would sleep until 7:00 or 8:00! I do wish though that he would go to bed a little earlier than 11:00.

... loves his crib! When he started sleeping through the night we moved him to the crib. He is doing great in it!

... does not like the paci, but he LOVES his hand - He sucks on his entire hand. He will take a paci at about 10:30 each night when I put him down for bed, but he will only keep it in his mouth for a few minutes.

... is wide awake and wants to play right now, so it's time to sign off!

Happy 3 Months, Jax!
