3 months old!!

Today we hit a big milestone- Noah is 3 months old! It's so hard to believe even though I knew it was coming.

To celebrate the big day, I'll review all of the milestones he's already hit! Parenting.com lists these milestones that most babies hit between birth to the end of their third month, so he's a little ahead on some of them. I left out the ones he hasn't yet achieved.

Moves head from side to side, Prefers the human face to other shapes, Brings hands to face, Has strong reflex movements, Responds to loud sounds, Blinks at bright lights, Smiles, Tracks objects with his eyes, Makes noises other than crying- will repeat vowel noises, such as "ah" or "ooh", Raises head and chest when put on tummy, Lifts head up 45 degrees, Kicks and straightens legs when on back, Open and shuts hands, Pushes down with legs when placed on a hard surface, Reaches for dangling objects, Recognizes familiar objects and people, even at a distance, Brings both hands together, and holds head up with control.

Hard to believe that a mere 3 months ago he slept nearly all the time, couldn't hold his head up and barely responded to people at all. He's growing so fast!

Noah stopped breastfeeding at almost exactly 2 months, but has had no trouble adjusting to his formula only diet.

I can't wait to see how much Noah will achieve within the next three months!

I start online classes tomorrow, which I'm very excite for. I know I will feel so much more productive knowing I'm working towards my degree. It's broken up in small modules too which you can complete on your own timing, as long as you finish the entire module within a month. I think most people finish a little more quickly. I signed up for 5 modules, which makes up one 3 hour class.

Stay tuned for more updates soon!
