Happy 3 Months Elijah Brooks!

Elijah Brooks turned 3 months old today!  Honestly, the first month was a  blur, but I can vividly remember the last two.  He is changing so quickly and I am trying so hard to capture every change and etch it into my mind and my heart.  Here are some new and fun things that he is beginning to do now: 

1. Only wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat!  Goes right back down like a champ! 

2. Squeals with delight at pretty much everything now. 

3. Tries to grasp at toys.  He can't quite hold onto them, but he is definitely grasping. 

4. Turns his head every direction to see his new world. 

5. Smiles every time we walk in the room now.  I LOVE THIS! 

6. Kicks his little legs ALL the time!  I can already tell he is going to be very active. He never stops!  His favorite place to kick is his changing table.  I fear he is going to kick himself right off pretty soon. 

7. He rolled over onto his side just this morning all by himself.  I reached for my camera and the battery was dead.  Oh well, next time :) 

8. Holds his head steady now. 

9. Laughs out loud! 

10. Is communicating with us. We have little "conversations" now. 

11. Doesn't scream anymore in pain from reflux!!!  He has become a "happy spitter".  I usually get doused at least 10 times a day, but at least he is laughing about it now! 

12. Weighs a whopping 15 lbs. 

13. Loves going for walks now and looking at the sky and the trees.  He used to sleep on his walks. 

14. Loves his bath! 

15. Hates getting out of his bath! 

16. Loves to suck on his fists. 

17. Loves, loves, loves music!  Especially his "Seagulls" CD (that's for you Mom and Elliot)! 

18. Is starting to focus more on books when we read to him. 

19. Loves to see his Bebe, E-daddy, and Aunt Elliot over SKYPE!  He smiles at them through the computer. 

20. Loves his Mommy and his Daddy very much.
