Peter Ambrose is 3 Months Old Today!

What a fun month! Though he's only just completed the so-called "4th trimester," he seems less and less like a baby and more like a little boy to us.

This month he has reached these milestones:

- his first laugh! (see last blog entry)
- he reaches for toys and puts them in his mouth (more of that to come, I'm sure!)
- he exhibits an obvious recognition of, and preference for Mommy and Daddy
- he's now able to push himself forward with his legs when on his belly

And of course, he is "talking" and smiling more and more, making for some truly precious and memorable moments. As of today, he weighs 12 pounds, 15 ounces.




Yesterday, we bought him a play mat, and he loves it! (pictured above.) He enjoys the visual and tactile stimulation it provides, and Mommy enjoys the time it provides for her to clean the house or read a book. (-:





Peter Ambrose and Mommy have also enjoyed having play dates with other Moms and babies. Friends are the best!!

Happy 3-month Birthday, sweet boy! We love you so very much, more and more as the months pass.
