3 Months Old!




I haven't really been writing much about the baby, so I'll try to update more about what is happening. Time sure has gone by quickly! Kaito is already 3 months old, and there are so many changes!!!
  • He's finally outgrown his newborn clothes!
  • He's graduated from newborn pampers to small size pampers. (did you know that Japanese newborn Pampers are a lot bigger than the American newborn Pampers? My parents brought some of the American newborn Pampers, and I thought they were so cute, because they were so tiny!!! Interesting though, same brand, but the size is different. I would have thought that Japanese ones would be smaller, since Japanese are generally smaller in size. Hmph, go figure!)
  • He can suck his thumb, which makes everything so much easier now that he can calm himself!
  • He can reach for things and started to put things in his mouth.
  • He can see a lot further now and in more detail! I can smile at him from about 2 yards away and he'll smile back!
  • He can roll over from his back to his tummy.
  • He has already doubled his birth weight. At birth he was 5.2 lbs. and now at 3 months he is 10.8 lbs.
  • He can sleep the whole night! We put him to bed at around 9pm and he'll sleep until 5am- 6am-ish!!! Even though he sleeps the whole night. . . I can't! I still wake up a few times at night, worrying and thinking, "is he okay? why hasn't he woken up? etc." Ahh, I guess I need training to sleep the whole night now!
  • And the best thing now is that he can fall asleep all by himself in his crib! Before we would spend a lot of time rocking him and he would only take naps in his bouncy chair, swing, or in someone's arms. Now when I see that he is getting tired (rubbing his eyes, yawning, getting fussy) I just put him in his crib and he'll cry for maybe 10 minutes and then he'll just fall asleep! Things are SOOOO much easier now!

Now I feel like my little boy is growing up so quickly! Before I know it, he'll be going off to college! *sigh*
