Truitt 3 months








Truitt at 3 months is getting used to life more and more. He just barely transitioned to his crib from only sleeping in his car seat. He's done with his baby swing, likes the bouncer okay, growing more and more fond of the bumbo. He doesn't take naps very well during the day. He mostly takes a bunch of cat-naps lasting 5-15 minutes at a time. He might sleep longer if you're holding him the whole time! Gradually supplementing more formula out of necessity. He's got strong legs, back, neck, and head. He loves sitting up or standing up on your lap (with help). He drools a ton (teething early??), sucks on his hands or fingers, and also spits up frequently (sometimes a little, sometimes a lot). He does well when we're out and about and usually cries more at home. He tries to make sounds and the girls like to think he's saying actual words. The kids absolutely love him and want to help with him and talk to him. He likes them a lot too! We love our sweet baby. His going-to-bed window is now between 9:30 and 10:30 and he'll sleep for 7 or 8 hours!! If he goes to bed earlier, he's likely to wake up during the night. If he wakes up before 6am, he usually will go back to sleep but if after that he is up for the day. Here are some of his nick names:

Baby Bunkin
Bug-a-boo
Little bug
Buggy
Trudy (haha, I joked about this one before he was even born cause it's like an old fashioned girls name, and now it makes me smile every time I use it on him) :)

The girls like to call him 'dreamy' or 'sucky' because he sleeps a lot (apparently) and sucks a lot.
