Jack's 3 Month Update!!

Jack turned 3 month's old on Thanksgiving day! We are a little behind on our blog posting because wowza are we having a fun third month. I am only being half sarcastic :) If you've read my last update I talked about Jack's potential acid reflux problem. The doctor decided to put him on medication and he has been on it now for about 2 weeks. We have noticed a big improvement with feedings because he isn't pulling away from the bottle anymore. However, he has been the fussiest baby on the face of the planet this past month. He has started screaming at the top of his lungs and then usually a super loud fart will come. I have done my best to eat a breastfeeding friendly diet so I don't think that has anything to do with it but I am hoping it's not a food allergy. We are going to the doctor soon to have a check up on his medication and acid reflux so I will ask about it then. All I know is my patience has been tested this month. It is so hard because you hate seeing them cry but once you've done all that you can it starts to frustrate you (especially when you're late for church!) I know this is just a stage-- maybe even a growth spurt so I am just pushing on.

As far as clothing goes he is wearing 6 month clothes and seems to be filling them out quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if he was wearing 9 month clothes before too long. His head control has gotten so good and he is really active! When he's not crying or sleeping we love to play. I got him a Fisher Price Sit-Me-Up Floor Seat (link here) and he loves it. It lets him sit up and play with the toys off the front.

Jack is very vocal he loves to "talk" and squeal. He also has rolled from his back to him tummy once but he hasn't done it since. We also think that he is starting to teeth! We can definitely see some action happening both on his bottom and top front teeth. That might be what is contributing to the fussiness as well. He has a seriously active tongue and tons of drooling!

Jack's favorite activity this month is grabbing onto mommy or daddy's thumbs and sitting himself up (with a little help of course). Once he sits up he loves to stand up! It is usually accompanied by tons of baby squeals and it is super cute.

Although this month overall has been super hard there have been a LOT of really fun new things. I feel like God does that on purpose so that we don't completely pull our hair out through the difficult times. Hopefully we will get it all figured out soon :)

PS I will update this post with more pictures soon!!
