3 Months

Well, it's that time of year again-- the time when babies turn 3 months old. The following are things that apparently happen when you are 3 months old.

1. You get a pretty bad cold and a fever and your parents have to take you to the E.R. because it's the Saturday after Thanksgiving. (Silas is doing fine now. He is still pretty stuffed up though.)

2. You have about 3 "blowouts" per day.

3. You flash big gummy grins pretty often.

4. You find out at the E.R. that you weigh 11 lbs. 11 oz. (He is also 22 inches long.)

5. You finally have reversed your male pattern baldness. Now there is hair in the front, but it is rubbing off in the back.

6. You can suck either thumb if you work at it long enough.

7. Being naked is now a favorite pasttime.

8. You become a drool factory.

And now, on to the pictures/videos...

Silas as "The Sasquatch" going for a walk/ride

No, he's not getting spanked, he's just playing.

Naked and loving it.

Here is Silas batting at his toys!

2 1/2 Months Old!

Wow! Silas is 2 1/2 months old already. He is growing really fast. Silas loves to bat around at his toys now, he is getting pretty good at it. A few days ago Grandma Sara came to visit. It seemed like Silas exploded (developmentally) that weekend. He finally found his thumb, he was very pleased about this... and we are happy too that he is starting to be able to soothe himself and get himself back to sleep. Also that weekend he started smiling even more. Grandma got a smile within the first 2 minutes and he just kept flashing those gummy grins. Also, Paul and I went on a date and left Silas home with Grandma Sara. Durring that time he took a bottle, his 4th one ever, and it sounds like he did a little better with it this time. Then, the big news! Silas slept 9 hours and he has done it several times since then!

Now what you have all been waiting for:

Silas loves to take a bath now and will usually end up splashing around in the water.

Story Time! (Silas fell asleep)
