3 months old

Yesterday Porter turned 3 months old. This marks the end of the "fourth trimester", the transition from fetus to baby and the official graduation from newborn to infant. I already see him changing. He plays more with toys by trying to grab them and watching them with more interest. He also really watches the Baby Einstein video with more interest. I love that he can hold up his head now. He looks like a little boy when I support him to sit or stand up. His smile is contagious. I absolutely love it! I hope that never changes. I finally feel more confident as a mother. I feel like I know his schedule and I know what he needs. Its a good feeling to be able to pacify him when he cries. And he looks at me with such love. I feel that we have a mother-son bond just between us. What a great feeling! He still needs to be swaddled to sleep at night so I still love the Miracle Blanket. He also loves his binkie. He needs this whenever he is tired to pacify him and put him to sleep. His favorite toy is the Baby Einstein radio. The lights and music hypnotise him. Stats are: 14.8 lbs., 24".
