Happy 3 Months!

With the end of February came Finn's three month birthday. Wes and I continue to agree that he is a good little guy. He is sweet and good natured, quick to smile, and rarely fusses. He is still waking up for one feeding sometime between 3 and 6am. Every once in awhile he sleeps straight through to 6, but this isn't consistent yet. He's still sleeping in the bassinet in our room, but will be moving to his crib very soon. We have been having him nap in his crib for over a month so he knows it's a place for sleeping. Speaking of napping, he has become a better napper, but we're still struggling just a bit. He will sleep for at least 40 minutes between each of his feedings (3 hours apart) and we have been trying to get him to sleep for at least an hour and a half each afternoon.

He's growing faster than we'd like. We retired some of his 0-3 month clothes today and brought out his 3-6 month clothes. He holds his head up easily - although he's been doing that pretty much since birth - and pulls his head up when he is laying on his back like he's trying to sit up. He loves to stand up and usually moves his little bottom around when he's standing. Wes says he's hula-hooping.

He likes when we sing to him and loves London Bridge is Falling Down. If he is fussing, we can quickly get him to smile by singing that to him. If you didn't know, there are like 11 verses to that song. He also loves to watch TV. No matter how we lay him down, he will crank his head around to watch the TV. He's definitely found his hands. He wrings them and constantly has them in his mouth. If he's not chewing on his hands he's bubbling saliva out of his mouth. I'll have to try to get a picture of that.
All in all, it has been a great 3 months. Finn has survived and thrived, despite his parents' ignorance and foolishness.
