Kade - 3 Months Old

This sweet bundle of baby boy is 3 MONTHS OLD! 

Kade now weighs 11 lbs and is about 22 inches long. This little guy is still consistently waking up around 1-2 times a night. And he usually goes to bed without a fuss. He can stay up for one and a half hours before needing a nap now and usually naps for 1-2 hours. In the afternoon, he will often take a 2-3 hour nap which is really nice. We still swaddle his legs when he sleeps and he still enjoys sucking his thumb to soothe himself. Kade is still in the bassinet in our room for sleeping. He can still fit in a few newborn clothes but is also wearing some 0-3 month and 3 month clothes. 

Kade really is such a content little man but he loves having someone around him. He is very generous with his smiles and coos. Kade loves his play gym - he enjoys hitting the toys, grasping onto the toys, and smiling at himself in the mirror. Kade also loves his o-ball toy. He holds it with both hands by his mouth and sticks his tongue inside the holes. He also likes Taggie toys and trying to get the tags into his mouth. We got out Reece's old giraffe Sit Me Up and Kade has really enjoyed being able to sit and see what is going on around him. He still really enjoys baths in his blue bathtub. He is more content with tummy time but likes to roll back onto his back during it often. He cracks me up because he enjoys watching the TV if his older siblings are watching something. He gives the cutest smiles when we come in to get him out of his bed in the morning. And Kade continues to enjoy the Ergo carrier for naps when out and about. 

There is not much that this little guy doesn't like. When he is tired, he just wants to go to bed. He doesn't really enjoy being held or set down but just wants his bed. He still cries when we get him out of his bath. He also gets frustrated when he gets boogers in his nose and can't breathe or drink with ease. But that is about it for things he doesn't like. 

This month Kade has learned how to grasp toys and blankets. He is actually able to play with his toys and blankets some now. He is also really good at grasping hair : / During the month, Kade also rolled over from his tummy to his back and than from his back to his tummy but doesn't do either super consistently yet. He is also getting better and better at drinking out of a bottle.

There were quite a few firsts for Kade this month as well. He had his first babysitters when Grandma and Grandpa watched him and put him to bed so Mommy and Daddy could go to a wedding. There was the first snow of the season and of Kade's life. He went to Sedona for the first time to celebrate Grandma's birthday and Grandpa's retirement. The biggest first was our first road trip and Kade shocked me with how well he did. He slept in a pack n play for the first time and left the country for the first time as we went to Mexico. Kade was at the ocean for the first time and also swung in a hammock for the first time. Kade also had his first holiday and Halloween  this month as well. He dressed up as a spider! He also had his first photo shoot this month during our Christmas family photo shoot. 

Kade is such a joy to do life with! We are so thankful for what he adds to our family! "Kade" was the first thing that the kids were thankful for on our November thankfulness board. We sure do love him!
