3 months old

Damon is 3 months old!  Holy cow. People weren't kidding when they say they grow quickly. I love watching his sweet personality blossom and watching him grow. I love watching him bond with other people especially his dad. 
Adam CLAIMS that Damon says "hi" sometimes, but I'm convinced he is doing it by accident. Haha he doesn't say it back when we say it, so that's my theory.
He is in size 2 diapers now. He actually has been for maybe more than a month. He likes to blabber and have "conversations" with me. He is getting better about sleeping at night..sometimes. So far, his best stretch has been from 9:30pm-5am..BUT that's happened one time. He has had done random 5hr stretches here and there, but not consistent. We try to have him in bed around 8:30. That way if he decides he has to take a while to go down, then we aren't up super late.
We have been doing tummy time every day. He has rolled from tummy to back one time. Every other time, he needs help. He gets frustrated and starts crying so as a result, doesn't roll over. But we're getting there.
I like to try to help him strengthen his legs and back by being his crutch while he puts some weight on his legs or his back rest while he sits like a big boy.
He's lost prettymuch all his hair except for the whirl of hair in the back of his head and his nape area. We're trying to avoid a mullet, but it's becoming more and more inevitable. He has a little bit of cradle cap, but not bad - Just at his widows peak area.
He's started to laugh..mostly at his daddy. He has for me a couple times. He loves to smile at everyone..including himself in the mirror.  He gets all excited and makes sounds like what I imagine a velociraptor would sound like. That sometimes turns into an actual laugh. 
He has had bad dreams as far as I can remember. Sadly, I think they have gotten worse as he's gotten older. I can't even imagine what he'd be dreaming of. What -like he didn't get fed quick enough?  Haha sometimes he wakes up crying. It's sad, but we just have to bring him back to reality and he's fine.
He seems to be a LOT bigger than any baby his age. Not fat, just tall..growing quick! Hopefully he will enjoy basketball so that he can use his height to his advantage and also play with his daddy!



Update: 3 months and 6 days: he weighs 20lbs!
