Happy 3 months Hunter!

Hunter is three months old today. I think he must be going through a growth spurt because it seems like he's been sleeping a lot lately. He goes to bed around 6:30-7pm each night and wakes up for the day around 7am. In that twelve-hour stretch, he's usually up 3-4 times to eat. But, he eats and goes straight back to sleep so it's pretty manageable for me right now.  His nap times are fairly consistent, but also pretty short! During the day, he will stay awake for 1.5 - 2 hours and then fall asleep. With our busy schedule, Hunter's naps happen in the car seat, stroller, or in the carrier. It's working for now and I am enjoying the flexibility that comes with him being able to fall asleep on the go.

Hunter weighs 17 lbs. and is getting stronger every day. He likes to stand up with assistance and is spending a bit more time in his exersaucer. His eye-hand coordination is developing and sometimes he even makes contact with his intended target! He still really enjoys his play mat with the toys hanging above him.

He pays attention to our voices and faces, and follows them with his eyes and by turning his head. Hunter is also starting to show a slight preference for Mom ... probably because we are together 24/7!  But, he's always got a big smile for Daddy. He loves splashing around in the bath tub and watching Grady play. He doesn't like his car seat very much and cries on almost all of our car rides - unless he's really tired and then he just falls asleep - Grady and I like those ones!
