Happy Three Months!


Dillan is three months old! When he was first born, I kept reading and hearing about so many milestones that babies hit at this age. Time flies so quickly, and Dillan really has grown and developed so much and has hit a lot of those milestones. In the past week or so, he has gotten so much more fun as he smiles, laughs, and 'talks' to us nonstop. We are definitely lucky as he seems to have an easygoing temperament and is pretty content most of the time. Here are some quick 3 month stats:

- weighs 15-ish lbs
- holds his head up pretty steadily with a few bobbles now and then
- loves to babble, squeal, and laugh
- can reach for his toys and hold a rattle
- has strong little legs and loves kicking and 'standing' (with assistance, of course)
- slept through the night for the first time 8:30pm - 5am three days ago!
- growing so quickly out of his clothes that he's leaving some outfits behind unworn :(

As you may have noticed, there have been a lack of blog postings lately, mostly because I have returned to work and have not had time to post. It's been a hard transition, but thankfully my work has been very understanding and allowing me to be flexible with working a few hours at home. And we are also very lucky to have the best caretaker possible - Grandma Mah! Here are a slew of pictures of what Dillan's been up to the last month or so...
