Three Months Old

Ashton turned three months old today! He has grown so much too! He went from a small 5 lbs 13 oz. to 12 lbs 2 oz! Even though he has grown so much he is still below average in weight, head size, and height. He is 29 percentile in weight, 19 percentile in head size and only 12 percentile in height! He has made some progress in the last two days with being alert. Just barely he went from sleeping all day always to being awake for at least 4-5 hours altogether. He doesn't like us keeping him lying down anymore, he wants to sit up (with our help) and explore the gift of sight. He enjoys his goo-goo's and ga-ga's and loves to smile and flirt with you! He found the joy of sucking on his fists a month ago and uses it especially when he is hungry and I can't get to him fast enough. He has brought so much joy into our family! Chandler loves to caress Ashton's arms, hug him and love him! Vanessa will try to feed Ashton a bottle to show that she can help out, and she asks for her daily holding of Ashton! They are such good siblings! We will keep you posted on his progress each month!
