Soooo...as some of you may have noticed I missed blogging for month #3. whoops.
Well as you can imagine life is kinda crazy sometimes and I forgot to write down my life lessons for mommy...BUT that doesn't mean I can't recall some of the highlights! I haven't lost ALL of my braincells...yet.
...At 3 months old baby is so much more alert! He actually needs entertainment and enjoys watching anything that moves, particularly if it makes noise too! Anything with a screen is already immensely interesting to him, but we're avoiding allowing him to watch screens. It just doesn't seem right or wise to allow him to watch a tv or movie all day instead of putting him on his play mat and encouraging him to grab, swat and kick at things. The boy needs to use his muscles! And his brain too! Josiah is spending more time on his play mat and on his tummy lately.
...When he turned 3 months old he decided he wanted to sleep on his stomach. Not JUST on his stomach, but face down and nose pressed against the fabric! I was terrified the first time I caught him like this in his Special Delivery Baby hammock! Turns out he must be able to breathe just fine because he's been doing it for a month now every time he takes a nap or goes to bed without fail. I even tried waking him and adjusting him back onto his back multiple times and only ended up with an angry baby who put himself right back on his stomach every time. Now I put him to bed and pray over him that God keeps him safe because I certainly can't prevent the stomach sleeping! No worries though, he doesn't sleep with a blankie or any kind of stuffy - we just swaddle his lower half or put him in a sleep sack to keep him warm!
...He's talking so much! Talking, talking, talking. I love it and can't get enough of it!
...Breasfeeding is a breeze! As long as he doesn't need to burp or toot, all is good and peaceful. PRAISE JESUS! Because the first couple months just about did me in.
Overall, I'm just really enjoying motherhood more now. I love watching him grow and learn. It's amazing to see him figuring out in that tiny head how to coordinate his hands and feet to do things. It's wonderful to have him smile and coo right to me. Goodness he's just so precious!
