Ace - 3 months

Can you believe that Ace is already 3 months old. Crazy how much bigger he's getting and less of a newborn he's looking. What a great baby he is. He isn't as mellow as Easton was as a baby but Jesse and I sure have no room to complain.

Sleeping Pattern: Sleeps 4-6 hours at a stretch. 9-2, 2:30-5:30. Sleeps great swaddled in crib with out carseat

Likes: Hands and fists in mouth, being blown with blow dryer after tubby time, watching big brother play, sitting in bumbo watching mommy cook, glow worm
Dislikes: being buckled in carseat, tummy time, being left alone, still tubby time, being hungry
Learning: laugh more outloud, sooth own self to sleep, mommies voice, rolls on side but cannot roll completely over.
