The Ziegler Zoo: September 2010

This post is better late than never! TR turned 3 months on September 4, 2010 and is just growing & changing too fast. Here are some current facts:

Weighs about 15 lbs (he hasn't been officially weighed recently)
Probably about 25in or so
Size 2 diapers
Size 6m clothing
Eats 5 times a day, usually 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, & 7pm
Officially sleeps through the night!
Bedtime usually around 8pm
Wakes up happy around 7am
Still loves the activity gym, but he & Mr. Cow are starting to re-evaluate their relationship
Still using the nap nanny, but really have to watch him b/c he could launch himself off any day
Loves to stand
Loves to look at himself in a mirror
Holding his head up very well
Hasn't officially rolled over yet, but could if he wanted to
If laying on his back, he usually rolls from side to side
Lately, he's been really into his feet and grabs them all the time
Smiles & coos all the time :)
Loves when dad flies him around like Super Baby
Best time for "talking" is on the changing table
Starting to spend a little daily time in his "office" as we call it - the stationary exersaucer thingy
Loves the pool, loves the bath...loves any water!
Started "school" 2 days a week when mom went back to work and is doing well. He makes the 8th baby in his class, and his 3 teachers love him!
Got his first virus after one day at school, which was way worse on his parents than on him. Just a swollen throat & some congestion that cleared up on his own.
Hates sitting in his car seat when not in a moving car, so we carry him in a sling most of the time
He is so adorable we can hardly stand it!!

He is just such a good baby in general. He seems very adaptable to any environment he's in, and his cues have become really easy for us to read. If he's happy, he'll let you know. If he's tired, he'll really let you know. I just absolutely love that any emotion he shows us is completely genuine. He's not trying to pull one over on you, or show off, or throw a tantrum. He just is who he is and makes no excuses for it. I pray he always keeps that authenticity about him.
