theo at 3 months

theo made his first travel on his third month. it's also during this time that he experienced his first christmas and new year celebration. he attended several parties and had been to many  places, which is unusual for babies his age. we know... :D

he's indeed a busy babe for the past month but theo, who's purely breastfed until, continuous to be healthy and happy.

 

 

development and milestones

- theo keeps on getting bigger and heavier every month. he was weighing 6.1 kilos at 10 weeks and if my guess will be right again, he'll be weighing 7 kilos already on our next visit to his pedia, which is scheduled on the 16th of this month.

- our little baby has now stronger neck muscles as he can already raise his head for a few minutes and rotate it side by side. with this and better vision, he can now look intently at anything that catches his attention. he also now swings his limbs and wiggles his body whenever he likes. it won't take long and soon we'll find him rolling. i can now hear jude saying it's time now to dismantle our bed frame again.

- i love it when he tries to engage me in a conversation with his goos and gurgles. there are even moments when he "talks" incessantly as long as he sees my face. oh my, we have another chatterbox in the house! :) his smiles and giggles are now more defined and he easily gives them away especially when i try to make him laugh.

he's talking to his daddy here

- is teething already starting for theo? it's because he drools a lot even when he's only nine weeks old. i'm sending three to four wet bibs to his hamper everyday, and that doesn't include the gauze diapers which i also use to wipe on his face. he alredy earned the monicker, "drool factory" among jude's friends because of his extraordinary salivation.

those fists are always his favorite...

- unfortunately, i think i have also passed on my allergic rhinitis to theo. december found the boys sneezing and with clogged noses. though theo's allergy to the cold weather is not as bad as his kuya's whose nose i constantly wiped with tissue for several days.  theo also had mild colds but it's more of the booger (sorry for being gross) that concerned me as it blocked his nostrils.

- theo really has a happier disposition. leave him in his crib or rocker with a toy and he's fine, for a few minutes at least. i sometimes catches him giggling over the sounds that his activity gym creates when he kicks it. the toys have more use now than during the time of iñigo who never showed any enthusiasm for this form of entertainment.

- he can now sleep 7 to 8 hours straight at night. :)
