CHASE RYNE: 2 AND 3 MONTHS OLD

MILESTONES/MOMENTS TO NOTE:
-he grabs for toys and will shove anything that fits, into his mouth.
-he starting to sleep for longer stretches - about 9:30/10 until 7ish.  At 6 weeks, he started sleeping through the night sporadically but at 3 months he started consistently doing it.
-not sleeping in his own crib yet but we transitioned him into the pack and play which sits by our bed.
-eats 4-5 ounces every 2-3 hours.
-the hair that rubbed off is starting to grow back but we are still missing a spot on the back of his head.
-has the most handsome and lovable smile.
-celebrated his first Christmas
-had a very mild case of colic and as he's growing, he's coming out of it.  There would be stretches of time during the day where I couldn't get anything done and if I did, it was because I was carrying him.
-rolls over from belly to back and back to belly.
-got his first cold (thanks to his sister).
-rolled over between 2 and 3 months.
-wears 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.
-at 2 months he weighed 12 pounds, 8 ounces.
-at 3 months he weighed 14 pounds.

LIKES:
-His sissy.
-Car seat naps.
-LOVES getting his diaper taken off.  Will be bawling something fierce but the second we start stripping clothes and taking the diaper off, he lights up.
-soothe and glow seahorse.  This things is a lifesaver at bedtime.

DISLIKES:
-being overtired
-getting stuck in traffic or stopping the car for any reason, especially when he's tired.
-not having a bottle asap when he's hungry.
-having his hands and arms contained so no swaddling here.  Actually both of my kids are/were very anti-swaddling.
-gas, burping, farting and pooping.
-has a love/hate relationship with his Baby Bjorn.
-belly time.

Sleeping all night but will stir until her pacifier is placed back into her mouth.

HAIR COLOR

The top layer is more of a Strawberry blonde while the under layer is blonde, blonde, blonde.  I was a blondie when I was a baby. 

MILESTONES
Rolls everywhere, like a barrell or a rolling pin. 
While sitting up has mastered grabbing things in front of her and going back up to a sitting position, however, side to side is still weak and usually results in her "falling over" (into mom or dad's arms of course).
Can stand against her toys or the coffee table but only for a few seconds.

First Christmas.

FAVORITES

 Obsessed with hair and earings.  Basically anything she can grab onto and yank.
Studying everything, in depth.
Mega curiosity.
Doesn't want to miss out on anything.
Loves bathtime (we've been alternating between baths and showers...we don't want a scardy cat when it comes to a shower in a couple years).
Anything she can put in her mouth.
Loves her toes and feet.

{P.S. It's scary how much she really looks like her daddy.  At least we finally figured out who that was.  PHEW!}
