Can you believe he's three months old already?
Look how big he's getting:
This is what my email said about babies Jack's age:
Many studies have shown that a stimulating environment accustoms children to change and helps their senses develop more quickly. Playing developmental games with Jackson Edward - even at this age - can provide just such an environment. These activities also provide a unique opportunity to interact with your baby and encourage a love of learning. Try sewing a small bell onto a band and put it on his wrist or ankle. He will begin to understand that it makes a sound when he moves, helping him develop body awareness and hand-eye coordination. However, be sensitive to signs that he is over stimulated and needs a break. As they say, everything in moderation. Jackson Edward may be able to push up on his arms by now, but don't get too excited, this is only half of the equation needed to start crawling. He also needs to develop his balance and leg coordination. However, if Jackson Edward can move his upper body with his arms, he might soon figure out how to drag himself around. Your little one will continue experimenting with his voice and is probably developing quite the "vocabulary" lately. He may be making vowel sounds like "ooh" and "aah" and has learned that he can change the sound simply by changing the shape of his mouth. Jackson Edward is probably opening his hands more and may start bringing them together in clapping motions as his hand-eye coordination improves. He has probably started batting at objects in an attempt to reach out for them. Help him develop this coordination by holding out a toy to see if he will grasp it.
Jack is definately starting to hold himself up while he's on his tummy and he scoots around alot but, only in his crib... we don't see it but, when we get up in the morning, he's usually all the way up against one of the sides or stuck in a corner. We "reset" him a couple times a night. He's still cooing but, not a great, great deal and he's very interested in hanging toys in front of him but, not yet reaching for them. He holds his hands together all the time though and he's gotten down being able to get his hands to his mouth. Sometime, he definately prefers his fingers to his pacifier.
What else went on this week...? Well, Jack had an okay week at daycare. He's usually getting a decent nap in the morning but, not so much in the afternoon. The worst part is then when we get home, he's super sleepy and we don't get much play time. Jon kept him on Friday and he slept ALL day.. so, he was a bit more himself over the weekend. Though, he's been throwing up more than usual.. and, we're not talking spitting up but, huge, projectile vomits. He seems to feel okay otherwise so, don't know what's up with that. Other than the throwing up, he's been pretty happy and playful.
