3 Months Already!

Reece is three months old today! He's growing so fast, he's right around 14 lbs and is just about out of his 0-3 months clothes and into his 3-6 months clothes. He's babbling, grinning, giggling and just being cute overall. He's already rolled over from his tummy to his back a few times and he's grabbing at his toys on his activity mat. We just got a jumperoo for him and he loves it. He's still a little small for it, but with my yoga mat folded in half below and a receiving blanket folded behind him, he goes to town. Most of the time he sleeps from about 9 or so until 5 or 5:30, sometimes he wakes up around 4:30 we swaddle him again and put his paci back in his mouth and he's all set.
Reece is becoming much more active. Tyler started sticking his tongue out at him and Reece tries to imitate him. It's very cute! We probably get the most smiles when he is on the changing table, he loves peek-a-boo and he smiles, giggles and babbles the whole time.
Work is going well, I love the long weekends and the extra time I get to spend watching Reece grow. It's nice to get back into a project and it's nice to have a schedule again.

Baby Bath Time!

We bought a new tub for Reece and bath time is a blast now! He really seems to be enjoying his bath time lately, he's actually been laughing and grinning through the last few. He loves to have water poured over him with the little "shower" cup that came with the tub.

Love my tub!

We also took advantage of the great weather yesterday and took a little trip to the dog park. Native definitely loved every minute and Reece actually was awake during part of it and took in the scenery, what he could see of it anyway.
All ready for the park!

Ticklish Spots and a few other things

Tyler and I found Reece's first ticklish spot, his little legs! He's really been grinning and laughing quite a bit lately. It's a blast to watch him grow, it's absolutely amazing!




He's beginning to realize that he's the one moving his toys on his activity gym, he reaches for one in particular that makes a noise when he touches it. He also rolled over from his tummy to his back for the first time! And he did it twice!

I've also decided to go back to work part-time. I'll be working Tuesday through Thursday with Mondays and Fridays off. I'm pretty excited about having the extra time to watch my son grow.

Aunt Jenny , thumb sucking and work...

Aunt Jenny finally got to meet Reece! We had a nice visit with Aunt Jenny this week. Reece loves Aunt Jenny and Aunt Jenny definitely loves Reece! We went for a walk, took in the Body Worlds exhibit at the museum and, of course, we did some shopping! Aunt Jenny brought some nice gifts for Reece as well.

Reece has finally gotten his thumb into his mouth and he fell right asleep on Daddy with his thumb in his mouth. He's still can't get his thumb consistently, but he tries really hard and enjoys sucking on his fingers.

He's growing so quickly, he's smiling a bunch now and loves Peek-A-Boo. He enjoys his activity gym. He moves his arms and legs and gets excited and babbles when he hits his toys, but he still can't quite figure out what's making them move.
He's been eating well and gaining weight. We've been bottle feeding him mostly since I have to go back to work next week. I'm not looking forward to that, but we have someone watching Reece at our house so that will make it a little easier. So, as much as I'm not ready it's back to work I go...
