From Newborn to Infant

Derek is now 3 months old
He's just growing and growing everyday
He loves to see his parents first thing in the morning (he smiles as soon as he sees one of us)
Loves binkies, (not happy about that, though he does look very cute when he's sucking on one)
His eyes are more brown than blue, but are not yet as dark as mine.
I love that he has to hold on to my collar when his eating :)
He doesn't just laugh when tickled -he now also laughs when something is funny to him like Cameron's famous Donald Duck voice or my happy songs that require clapping.
I love how much he stretches, it is so cute watching him stretch his whole body.
He talks all the time now, especially when I play the piano as if he's singing.
He's slept for 7 hours straight (only waking up once through the night) for a few nights now.
He still fits in size 1 diapers.
He wears size 3 month clothes.
He's constantly trying to get his whole fist in his mouth.
He grabbed a toy for the first time Sunday Oct 9.
Loves when I read him books (Dr. Suess is all we have for now)
Bathtime is his favorite time of the day!
He's so light skinned! I don't really notice how light his skin is until my mom holds him..lol.
He got his 3 month old pictures taken the other day (will be posting them later) THANKS DARCY!!
He's very ticklish!
His legs are getting chubby. LOVE IT!!
He's had the same bed time routine since 2 months and 1 week, and it's working pretty good. His morning routine is still a mess, so I need to work on that one.
It's fun to see his personality show more and more everyday.
He's really close to rolling over.
Sometimes he laughs when I use a Nasal Aspirator on him.
He doesn't really like tummy time while he's awake but loves it while sleeping (he'll take super long naps on his tummy ;)
We just love him to pieces!
It's been an amazing 3 months.
Can't wait for more milestones to come!

5K Run

I ran my first 5k this year on Oct 1st. I finished 4th place within my category at 30:37. Last year at the same 5k run I finished 7th at 28:27. As I was "training" I only got to up to running 2 miles so this was my first time running 3.2 miles straight (so not too shabby!)
