I've heard about babies having a fourth trimester after they are born and with each of my 3 kids, it's totally true. They may be out of the womb, but part of them wishes they were still there. Then, after 3 months, something happens and they go from being little infants to babies. Kai is exactly 3 months old today and he has graduated to being a BABY! Here are some recent changes for him:
* Kai smiles a ton!
* He laughs because something is funny. (i.e. tickling him, making funny sounds, hearing us laugh, etc)
* He sucks his fingers now. He wants to suck his thumb, but hasn't managed that yet.
* He's not into the pacifier anymore.
* He still likes to be swaddled, but not near as much as before.
* He isn't in love with the swing any longer.
* He finally started eating less during the day. (ever 2.5-3 hours instead of 1.5-2 hours)
* He goes 8 hours at night without waking! (7pm-3am, 3am-6:30am)
* He sometimes grips onto things.
For the most part, all of these changes took place within about a week of each other. He grew up so fast! :) It really is amazing to watch a baby grow. He is a sweet and wonderful baby. All 4 of us love him so much!
