Austin's Third Month

Time is flying by and the little man is 3 months old already!  This past month he has become a bit of a chatterbox!  Austin loves to interact and is really working on trying out different sounds.  He is so responsive when you talk to him and it's hilarious because his responses usually are very appropriate for the conversation!  Austin has been a great traveler when we flew up to WI to visit family and have his baptism.  Several people around us commented they didn't even realize there was a baby on the plane until we were getting off the plane.  Austin has become more skilled at grabbing and holding onto things.  He gets so excited when he hangs onto a toy!  He is putting everything in his mouth all the time and appears to be in the early stages of teething already.  He stares intently at everything we eat, not sure that he will be able to hold out until 6 months for solid food!  Austin is sleeping very well and I am certainly glad to be getting better sleep too!  We have been working a lot on tummy time.  He was really not a fan initially, though he has slowly become more tolerant of it.  He has gotten so strong at lifting his head up, he now tries to almost sit up whenever we have him in an upright position!  We have now switched over to doing "big boy" baths, so he is now being bathed in the tub instead of the sink.  He was definitely getting too big for the sink!  I weighed him on his 3 month birthday and he was 15 pounds, so he has almost doubled his birth weight!

Peepee Teepees

We received a package of peepee teepees as an early Christmas gift and have started using them during diaper changes the past few days.  I thought it was pretty cool to have Austin covered and not worry about him spraying everywhere while being exposed.  He actually does not do this often, though when he does it is a big mess!  So far the teepees had not been tested, until tonight when Austin decided to change that...

I had the teepee on him and was changing him as usual.  Just as I was moving his legs, the peepee teepee came  shooting off and before I knew what was happening my shirt was getting soaked!  As soon as I realized it I put my hand out to stop him, though it was already too late.  I had to change him into a new onesie and pajamas (nevermind that I just put on clean ones less than an hour before after his bath!) and change out the changing table cover.  So apparently the lesson is that you still have to pay attention even with the peepee teepees in place in case he is able to shoot it off! :)
