3 Months Old and Growing Like a Weed

Today, little/big Isaiah turns 3 months-old, but you wouldn't know it by looking at him! We've put all his 3 month clothes in storage and graduated him into a 6-9 month wardrobe. He's still inching toward the top of the chart in the 99th% for height at 26 inches, and chunking out steadily at 16 pounds in the 89th% for weight.

As his personality and preferences are being revealed, I thought I'd share some of his favorites with you, and with the future him who might look back on this someday in curiosity.

When he's restless his sissy, Angie knows just what he needs, she quickly takes him to his happy place by playing him "Awake" by Hillsong from her phone.

In the evenings, he giggles as Daddy changes his diaper, gives him a bath, or swaddles him up for bedtime.

He still loves snuggling with Mommy in the mornings, and he's becoming quite the talker, interrupting to throw in his two cents on most of Mommy's work phone calls.

He can't resist a nap in his car seat or lamb swing, and he's still a sucker for his milk (pun intended), although he's not as ravenous as the first two months. Here's a little side by side shot to show how that milk's beefing him up.

He's determined to fit his whole fist in his mouth. We're a bit concerned that it might get stuck if he ever wedges it all the way in there.

He likes sitting up like a big boy.  His head's still gargantuan and a bit unwieldy, but he's getting closer to holding it up on his own.

 Bubbles! He's training for the world record in most saliva bubbles blown at one time.

Since the moment he was born, most people's first observation of him has been that "He's so alert." It's pretty adorable, but we won't be too upset if he doesn't always have 'crazy eyes.'

Here are a few outtakes from his 3 month photo shoot today. I didn't catch him at his silliest moment, but we think he's always pretty adorable, we know we're biased though.
