He has progressed in the movement department, he has started to grab his feet, roll to his side, and roll over. The day he turned 3 months old he started to grab his feet. He still finds it to be a source of entertainment. I have been putting him on a blanket on the floor more so he can move around. He has mastered rolling to his side. While doing this he rolled to his stomach once and has yet to do it again. He can now hold himself up on his stomach for longer periods of time now. Which causes him to be less grumpy in this position.

Edit: It has been a week since I first wrote this and he is now rolling all over the place from front to back and back to front. I set him down on his play mat and when I come back he will be in a completely different position. Defiantly time to get rid of the carpet and refinish the hardwood. Carpet = yucky.

He has developed a love for dogs, anytime he sees them he instantly starts to laugh. It pretty much is the only thing that guarantees laughter.

A new development is a dislike for strangers. When someone he does not know holds him he instantly starts to cry. I was told separation anxiety would not start till six months, but he seems to be experiencing it sooner. So we have been trying to have people hold him more but it does not work out so well. They never want to hold him through the crying. This will have to be something we will work on because I was like that when I was younger and it was not good. It was a handicap to me and most likely an annoyance to my parents.

The pediatrician told us to start giving him rice cereal. The fist couple of time we did this he cried he hated it, but by the third time he start to eat it. He still does not eat enough of it to make a meal so he still gets breast milk. When he turns six months I will start adding other food but till then it will be more of an experience to get used to eating something other than milk from mom. Also, it gives my husband a chance to help with him. His sleeping is starting to become normal again. He is sleeping from nine to six. After such a long period of waking in the middle of the night, it was weird waking up to the alarm clock for once and not him.

Since my child is not the normal child size and insanely long his clothes are not fitting him. They are either to big or too small. His pants I have to pin, or make him wear high waters so that they stay up. Shirts that say they are for three to six months he swims in, but zero to 3 months do not fit him lengthwise. I think he gets this from my side of the family. Bean poles.

My favorite part of the day is when he just wakes up and I go in to get him, he greets me with the biggest smile. Bigger then any I will get out of him the for the rest of the day. It just melts my heart.

Overall I am doing better and handling my emotions better. Being a mom is tough in ways I did not expect. I don’t have time for my knitting anymore. I had to choose which of my existing hobbies I would keep since I only have time for one at the moment. I ended up choosing the one I do with my husband, which is playing computer games with him. At times I miss knitting but I actually miss spinning more. So maybe here in a bit when his attention span lengthens I might be able to pick back up one more of my hobbies until then the blog will most likely be just about my little wingNut.
