Graham: 3 Months

Three months!!  How is this guy three months old already?!?!   At three months Graham continues to be a bit of a wonder baby.  He is a happy little guy 99% of the time.  He waits so patiently while I tend to Grady and smiles as soon as I return to him and our eyes meet. He is so big that I often forget that he is only three months old, but I am not wishing away any single one of these wonderful baby days.

For comparison, here is my 3 month post about the original G.

Here are some brother comparison photos for fun too:

Three month Graham Tid Bits:

• He tips the scales at 15.5 pounds (this is what Grady weighed at 6 months).
• His thighs are the perfection of baby chub with the most awesome little rolls. 
• He is balding by the day and his real crop of hair looks much lighter than his initial hair.  We may have two blondies after all, but we'll have to wait and see. 
• He has started picking up toys (probably inadvertently) and putting them to his mouth. 
• He loves sucking on his hands, but still isn't coordinated enough to get a thumb or any particular finger in his mouth.  Most of tummy time for this laid back dude is spent sucking on his hands rather than attempting to lift his huge pumpkin head off the ground.
• When he looks at us, he really looks at us, locking eyes in such an intent and wonderful way.
• He giggles when we tickle under his chin probably because the skin there is rarely touched with the size of his big ol' head and his multiple chins. He is also very ticklish on his feet.
• His baby laugh is just the sweetest sound in the world. 
• He coos and "talks" to us more than I ever remember with Grady.  He'll lock eyes and just coo and coo for long stretches at a time as if he really has something to tell us.
• He startles with loud noises and will first push out a little pouty lip, then break out into a high pitched scream about 3 seconds later. Thanks, Bella.
• He has typically been sleeping between 8 and 10 hours at night, Hallelujah!  Keep this up buddy.
• He is a good eater, refer to the first two bullets above :)
• He is quickly outgrowing clothes and his favorite little baby chair.  He's moved out of most six month clothes and in to 9 months.
• He loves being naked.  He'll sit on his changing table naked looking at pictures for as long as we'll let him.
• He is the perfect wingman.  He travels well with us (so far) and let's Grady dominate most of my attention without much of a fuss.  Thank you for being the perfect little brother buddy.
• He has started to roll to his side mostly to look at toys that Grady has dropped off for him to enjoy.  By the end of the day he accumulated about 10 toys to "play with".
• We've shoved his little chubby thighs into a bumbo and he seems to like it for short stints.  As a side note, Chris cuts Grady's hair in the bumbo and his thighs go in and out without any problems.
• He is super easy to take pictures of because he is generally in a good mood all day. . . keep this up too buddy!

We love you with all our might Graham.  Please stop growing up so fast, I am enjoying your sweet baby days too much!
