As of yesterday, Jack is three months old! He is becoming such an active little boy these days. Loving to sit in his bouncy seat, his eyes light up when the lights and music come on, and he loves to grab at the toucan and monkey that dangle in front of him. He is getting so long that his feet dangle off the end of the seat now. He loves it so much that we are crossing our fingers that he will get to use it a little while longer. When propped up on the couch, he loves to sit up like a big boy and look around the room at all the fun things to see.

This week, Jack discovered his feet for the first time. He would stare at them very intently and then follow his foot as he kicked one leg. So sweet! When I have him in the car seat, he loves to try and lean forward and grab his feet. He hasn’t quite figured out how to grab them yet, and he often gets frustrated not being able to grab them but seems to settle down into staring at them after while.

He continues to love getting a bath and playing in the water. Sean and I bought him a little baby pool to use on our back porch this summer, and we are anxious to try it out. The pediatrician says no sunscreen for 6 months, and they don’t advise getting them in the swimming pool this early (partially because they have a hard time controlling their body temperature right now and also due to the chlorine), so we thought this would be a good alternative for this year.

This month, we will visit our new pediatrician, and Jack will get two more vaccinations. Jack also will get his three month portraits taken. We bought him a very cute outfit this week for those, so I’m excited to show him off soon.

Grandma (my mom) came down to visit for a few days this week. We took Jack to the mall and wore ourselves out while shopping. And fortunately, I went down a size in jeans (YAY!), so I got a few new pairs of pants. Still more weight to lose from pregnancy, but it’s getting better. Jack got a lot of new things, as usual. He is lucky to wear all of the outfits he has before outgrowing them. He is filling out his 6 month clothes, and we are hoping he stays in that size for a little while so he can wear all of the outfits we bought or were given for him. Today, Grandma took us to lunch, which was nice. The rest of the day, we have been catching up on our rest from our big day yesterday.

We hope you all have a fun and safe July 4th weekend!
