James at 3 months

Sleeping

James seems to have put himself on a bit of a schedule, which is a pleasant surprise. He is up for two hours and then needs to take a nap. This can be either in his cot or his carseat or pushchair if we are out and are usually around 45 minutes. He is waking up from his naps a lot more pleasant now and usually smiles a big gummy grin.

Sleeping at night is a bit hit or miss. He goes to bed at a regular time of 7 and then will wake up 1 to 3 times throughout the night. Thankfully he still is really good at going back to sleep after a nighttime feed.

Appearance

He has really started to fill out this month, with the appearance of a few chins and nice chunky thighs. His hair is growing a lot more too. We are undecided as to the colour, which appears dark blonde in some lights and rather reddish in others.

Eating

James is still eating every 2.5 to 3 hours during the day and usually has a bottle of formula at night.

Clothing

He is definitely into 3 to 6 month clothing now, with some 6 month clothing thrown in. Some of the sleepers he wore at the beginning of our trip to Canada no longer fit by the end of the 3-week trip.

Personality

James is so much fun now with lots of squeals, squeaks and smiles. He is so nosy and is always rubber-necking and looking around. He seems to enjoy tummy time a lot more and his neck control is getting so much better.

Events (there were a lot of firsts)

• He met his auntie MC for the first time when she visited us in Worcester
• His first flight! He did so well on the 8-hour flight and pretty much just ate and slept the entire time
• His first visit to Canada and visits with his great aunt Marg, great uncle Bob, auntie Megs and lots of friends
• His first exposure to snow
• His first Halloween
• The birth of his sweet cousin Layla
