• What a sweet, sweet boy you are!! You have the happiest disposition and are always smiling. This month you have started to giggle and have become ticklish! Your little chuckle is the sweetest sound and melts Mommy's heart! You have so much light behind your eyes and make everyone smile when they look at you!
• You love to be sitting up and have started to really reach for toys or any other object that is in front of you, however your favorite things to chew on are still your fingers! This month though, you have also discovered your toes and love to grab them and chew on them when you are on your back!
• You are SO close to rolling over from your back to your tummy, but haven't done it yet. You will roll so far over that we think there is where to go but make the flip over, and you just go right back to relaxing on your back...you'll get it. 
• Your legs and back have gotten so much stronger. You love to either be sitting up or standing up with our help. You enjoy being in your bumbo chair and exercaucer. You are very close to sitting up on your own- you can do it for just a couple of seconds before falling over to one side...don't worry, we catch you! :) 
• You are still able to fit in your 3 month clothes, but are quickly becoming too big for many of them and clothes labeled 3-6 months are much better. You are wearing size 2 diapers. 
• You are still not a great sleeper which makes Mommy and Daddy a little sad, and tired. You still end up in our bed most nights because you wake up so often. You are almost making it to the morning without needing a bottle, but sometimes need one around 4am to tide you over and help you go back to sleep. You take about 3 naps during the day, and sleep the best in your carseat while I'm driving around or in your swing. 
• You still have bad reflux, but hoping that once we start solid foods next month that it will start to get better! Even with not sleeping well, or hardly at all, and spitting up a lot- you are still so happy! You are such a light and seeing your smile makes all the tough nights totally worth every bit!
