I'll say it every time... it just keeps getting better! Precious Colby is three months old and does new things every single day. This has been such a fun month full of smiles and cooing. What a joy it is to watch this little boy grow!
New this month:
Colby moved to his crib! This happened sort of accidentally. One Saturday there was someone coming to install new satellite service in our house which meant accessing some things through our bedroom closet. Until then, Colby had been sleeping and napping in his bassinet there. We decided to try his crib for that nap so he would at least have a shot at sleeping. And I was as shocked as anyone when he acted like it was no big deal! So with Rick's encouragement, we just stuck with it. That night he slept like a champ and has been in his crib ever since. It is probably best that I didn't have a chance to mourn his last night in our room. He is getting to be such a big boy!
Colby is getting so much better at tummy time. However, he still would prefer not to be on his tummy... so he learned to roll over!
He continues to love bath time and walks. The play gym is still his favorite toy! He will talk to the hanging things and grab the rings. He also likes sitting in the bumbo. This last weekend he got a new rattle that he is able to hold and rattle.
Sleeping in general continues to improve... and that makes for a happy mommy! We have settled into a better routine. Colby gets up at 7:00 or 7:30 and eats every three hours after that. After he eats at 7:30 in the evening, he takes a bath and goes to bed around 8:30. He usually needs to eat just once in the night, but he also might cry one other time before he's hungry. I just put in his paci and he is usually good to go for a while longer. He is still napping between each feeding, between 45 minutes and 2 hours.
For whatever reason, there isn't a well-visit usually this month. As a sidenote, three months seems a little early for Dr. B to think that we should be trusted with Colby for two months without any check up! So our best guess is:
Height: 24 1/2 inches
Weight: 13 1/2 lbs
Colby is such a complete joy. We are so blessed and can't wait to see what this next month brings!
Fun hanging out with Pawpaw
And Mimi
And of course everybody loves bath time! Colby was really happy and had a great time!

This was his first "smile"... I'm sure it was at her!
On her next visit when Colby was 2 months.
Grandad is a pro bottle feeder. My favorite part of this is Colby's sweet hand wrapped around my dad's finger.

First time grabbing a toy on his playmat. He has tried again several times and gets a little frustrated when he can't do it.
He is really getting into his bouncer and thinks those hanging things are hilarious :)
Colby is now a serious drooler!
Hanging out with dad in the evenings... I think it is so funny that he just loves this position but only with Dad.
The two month shots didn't go too badly. That evening Rick took care of Colby and he got a little fussy. Of course the bucket helped! 
First time in childcare at church and we survived! Well, of course Colby was well taken care of. There were two babies and two workers, so I'm pretty sure this is what happened the entire morning. I may have shed a tear or two after I dropped him off and might have been the first one to leave the meeting when it was over. Colby did great!
