13 Weeks Old!

My little stinker is 13 weeks old already and tomorrow marks his 3 month birthday! I can't believe it already 3 months have gone by, he is just so sweet lately smiling and talking to me all the time. I'm so ready for that first laugh. Any day now I think. He's really starting to get dexterity in his hands and he grabs everything in his sight now, lol.

We did have to go to the Dr today cause his eczema is getting worse, she prescribed us with a topical steroid ointment to use on his skin, which is good cause he needs it. Every night this week when he has woken up I walked into the room to him rubbing his face all over the sheets and when I pick him up he would start screaming because he was so itchy. I've been putting some hydrocortozone cream on him like the Dr said last time I had an appointment, but it hasn't really been helping and it's getting worse since his back is now covered in spots. I'm also going to buy some baby laundry detergent to make sure that's not part of it. (I don't know how it could be as I buy the free and clear stuff, but I think I should get the kind meant for baby skin just in case. I'm starting to think that the itching is the only reason he's waking up at night anymore and I'm hoping that this solves that problem.

We also had to move his bathtub up to the bathroom, he's not ready for the big tub yet, but he made a GIANT mess in the kitchen last night with all his splashing, it was so cute so I didn't care about having to clean it up, lol. Also Auntie Sarah and Nana have got him on a nap schedule so he's sleeping right now, and he's growing out of his three month clothes already! It's his body that's so long that's why he's growing out of it all, he fits into 6 month clothes length-wise right now, just not width wise, it's too cute, lol. He also has realized what a camera is, and refuses to smile for me when I try to get his picture!

  1. He is so cute! They just grow so quickly, it's amazing! Aiden will be 4 mths old on Monday, and it seems like just yesterday I was still pregnant! He is getting so big, too - I unofficially weighed him on my scale and he was around 16 lbs! LOL I also read your blog about your shift at work. It must be nice not to have to get up and rush around in the morning, too. That seems like it would be a pretty decent shift!
