Three Months

Can you believe it? Kyler is three months old today. He is getting to be such a big boy. This week he started going to day care and he is doing great. They say the only time he cries is when he is hungry... and he acts like they have been starving him.

Kyler has also been full of smiles lately. He is "talking" more and more, especially when we get home after I pick him up from day care. He must be tellling me all about his day. He is so close to giggling, I can almost hear it.

He looks around all the time and really seems to have a good sense of his surroundings (which is probably why he is starting to fear strangers). When he is in the car, he tries to sit forward as much as possible to see what's going on. It doesn't work too well since he has to be buckled in so tightly.

He has also noticed his feet which are the main source of entertainment when we are in the car. That's a good thing because he really hates being in his carseat and starts crying if we stop moving.

Kyler loves having books read to him, especially the ones with bright pictures in them. His current favorite is a Veggie Tales book. He loves their big bright eyes and will pump his arms and legs in excitement when looking at the pictures. It is often in the diaper bag as a source of entertainment for over a half an hour at a time. He also likes when we do little songs and nursery ryhmes with actions (like patty cake or the little piggies).

He plays really well in the walker although his feet don't quite touch the ground yet. And  he loves playing in the jumper that hangs from the doorway. He is kind of a maniac in that thing sometimes. He can grab his toys now and most things go straight to his mouth.

He also loves the water. We have been to the swimming pool a couple of times and he reallly enjoyed that. The last time we went he was even splashing around with his arms. Of course he thinks bathtime is awesome. Lately I have even been showering him since it is way faster than getting his tub ready. He doesn't mind the water on his face at all.

I usually rock him to sleep while quietly reading a book. He seems to fall asleep the best when he has his pacifier in his mouth and is holding a cloth or blanket up to his cheek.

Kyler is really starting to become a little person more and more and less of a tiny baby. Brett is always wanting to wake his little boy up to play when he gets home and talks about how proud he is when he is a good boy at day care. If it is possible, his mama adores him even more!
