3 months!

Miles is 3 months today. He doesn't have another well baby appointment until 4 months, so we weighed him on the scale at home today. He weighs about 14 pounds. Nothing too official. I think he's grown quite a bit in length, but we'll wait and see the official measurements next month.

Milestones
-Sitting up on his own for a couple of seconds
-Rolled from his back to his right side yesterday. Three times.
-Got a fancy new high chair so he can join us when we eat at the table. The last few weeks, he is only happy when he sits on my lap while we're eating. Now he has a chance to be at the table with us, even if he won't start eating solids for another 3 months.

Pictures
Miles loves reaching for things. Like the camera.
 And all his toys dangling from the play mat.
 He even managed to hook the rattle around his arm and shake it around.
 He knows when I'm taking pictures, and instantly becomes Mr. Serious. This is as close to a smile as I could get that day.
 Another half smile.
 Showing off his new high chair.
 Growing so fast!

11 weeks!

Milestones this week:
-Laughed out loud over the weekend. We're trying to catch it on video, but it's more of a challenge than we expected.
-Head and chest up off the floor during tummy time.
-Enjoys looking at the cats (when they dare go near him).
-Retired all the 3 month clothing. He's officially in 6 month or larger!
-Attempts to suck his thumb end in gagging every time, so he now sucks on his entire fist.

Pictures!

 Miles helped me make cookies. It was hard work.
 Fell asleep by me on the couch. I got up and he didn't move.  :)
