The Hawk's Nest: Landry- 3 Months

Landry, you are 3 months old! You are so much fun to be around, and we LOVE seeing your smiles and hearing you laugh. You are such a chill baby and everybody comments on how good you are. We love that you are so flexible and that we can leave you with anybody. What a relief that is for Mommy and Daddy! We can't wait to celebrate the holidays with you! We love you, Landry Man!

Since you didn't have a doctor's appointment this month, I am guessing on these numbers :)
Weight: Around 12 lbs.  Height: 23.5 inches

Firsts:
* Rolled from tummy to back
* First Halloween- you were a little lion cub and Mommy and Daddy were your zookeepers
* First time in the nursery (Promiseland) at church
* Went to the pumpkin patch
* Presidential election- you slept while Mommy and Daddy voted
* First out of state trip (10/25)- We went to South Carolina to see Aunt Rachel and go to the UT-USC game
* First time in the baby bjorn
* First high-school babysitter
.......and many more!

Milestones:
- Rolling over! You can roll from you tummy to your back. You prefer to roll to your right, but you have gone to your left a few times. You can almost roll from your back to tummy too.
- You are now sleeping 9-10 hours a night and eating every 4 hours. Sometimes you wake up around 5 am, but Mommy just puts you back to sleep.
- You are becoming much more interactive and will talk back when we talk to you. You are so curious and want to see everything that is going on.

Like Mommy: There are times you are very chill and laid back. You are good with just going with the flow.

Like Daddy: There are other times when you know exactly what you want and will let us know when you don't want to be in the swing or on your play mat. Sometimes when we hold you, you can be very fidgety.

Mommy's Favorite: Mommy loves to cuddle with you. You are getting a little chubbier, which makes you extra fun to cuddle with.

Daddy's Favorite: Daddy loves the way you smile at him when you see him. He also loves making you laugh and when you crack yourself up and can't stop laughing.

How We Spend Our Day: Mommy seems to change your schedule weekly, but you are so flexible that you just go with it! Currently, you are waking up between 6:30 and 7 and eating every 4 hours, which makes 5 meals a day. You just started cutting back on your naps and are taking 3 naps (sometimes 4 if you have a really short one). You seem to take a shorter first and third nap and a really long nap in the middle of the day. We just moved your bedtime up to 9pm, which is great for Mommy if she is tired and wants to go to bed earlier.

Best Memory: We have lots of great memories from this month! Our favorites are probably the night you rolled over. Both Daddy and Mommy were home and we were able to enjoy it together. We also had lots of family time this month with Grandmommy and Granddaddy, Aunt Rachel and Aunt Lauren, and Nena and Poppy.

Biggest Challenge:  There doesn't seem to be any really big challenges this month. You have been doing better with nap time and can put yourself to sleep now. You have been waking up around 5-5:30am and Mommy has to rock you back to sleep. A book Mommy read suggested she let you cry yourself back to sleep when you wake up that early, but so far, she hasn't been able to do that, and it's not too much trouble for her to cuddle you back to sleep.

How We Celebrated Your 2nd Month: You and Mommy went to Beautiful Moms at church in the morning and then Daddy came home and played with you that afternoon. Of course, we had your photo shoot and then you and Mommy hung out at home while Daddy preached at church.
