Three's company

3 MONTHS OLD.

Time flies so fast our baby boy is already 3 months old. We are really filled with joy seeing our baby Alexander happy and growing amazingly.

If our baby was not being breastfeed we will use a mixture of breastfeeding and formula for added flexibility, as long as Alexander tolerates it well and it is also for his own good to try new ways of feeding being adaptive to change.

After 3 months of age Alexander is showing more interest in his surroundings. He smiles at familiar people, he plays with his toys, laughs at funny things and develops lot of cute habits. At this point of time we can see that his behavior changes where he becomes more interactive about his environment.

Alexander is occasionally fussy after meals and sometimes he experienced diarrhea. If this certain situation happens I hold him upright to my chest or shoulder and pat him gently. That is the way of responding properly while he is burping to avoid any harm.

Mother has been very helpful taking care of his grandson, Alexander on weekends or in the evening for a couple of nights. When mother is around the two of us had a chance to spend time going out being stress free for a while but we end up calling for a couple of times to know if Alexander is okay.

Our baby gets easily irritated by loud noises and intense stimuli so he wakes up in the middle of the night and for us parents it is kind of tiring and sometimes annoying. Our solution to this problem is to take turns soothing alexander by rocking and talking softly so that he can feel protected and sleep again peacefully.

As Alexander grows, he is already able to focus his eyes on certain things like studying the faces of anyone who comes close to him.

We have noticed that Alexander is capable of learning a thing or two so we started working on his IQ. We walk around outside carrying him or pushing him in the stroller so he can hear and see different things that will help him to discover new kinds of dimensions.

We observed a lot of changes about Alexander's behavior he's getting more curious about the world around him. So we decided to bring him along to visit several new people. This experience for Alexander will help him to widen her mind knowing the people around him adapting to the environment he is a part of.

Alexander Keith is awake about half of the time, sleeping about 6 hours at night and in three 2-hour blocks during the day. When awake, he is sometimes moving about restlessly, quiet or calm. Because of his behavior we respond by choosing a variety of activities depending on his mood and go with the flow so that we can surely observe if what certain decisions we can make to come up with the right plan of taking care of him.


Alexander is fussy on rare occasions after meals, but most of the time relaxed and content so we just continue breast/bottle feeding and wait a couple more months before introducing solid food because at this point it is not allowed to feed babies within 3 months old for it might lead them to choke or any situation that may be harmful to them.
