Arthur and I have been in Indiana visiting with family and friends. We've been so busy, I didn't have much time to do his weekly updates. So, I've combined weeks 10-12.

Likes:Being held (so spoiled while being here), bath time (even in a different tub), his new stuffed monkey (latched right onto it)

Dislikes:The cold (right there with you kid!), playing by himself (so spoiled right now), his new baby "uggs" (seriously kicked them right off)

Sleeping:I have been so lucky while in Indiana. Arthur has been sleeping for longer periods during the night (usually 5-6 hours). And our schedules have synced up a bit. He's up and ready to play between 7-8am. I can do those hours. 5am is a bit early for me.

Eating: Usually he eats 4 ounces every 4 hours. But during the evening time, he cluster feeds and ends up eating ~7 ounces in 5 hours. Crazy kid!

Playing: Since we've been in Indiana, he's noticing more and more of his toys. He's especially loving his tambourine with a mirror in the middle. I'm still waiting for him to actually grab his toys.

Medical Milestones:

10 Week Milestones:

Responding to his name -- Sometimes, but not always
Recognizing mommy and daddy -- Check!
Grasping toys -- Nope... he tries but it doesn't really happen

11 Week Milestones:

Full-body smiles -- Check! He gets so excited and waves his arms when he smiles.
Searching for mom and dad -- Check! He follows me around the room and turns his head when I start talking. Very cute!

12 Week Milestones:

Becoming social -- Check! He's met so many new people and smiles and talks to everyone!
Pushing arms up during tummy time -- Nope. He still hates tummy time.
Pushing legs into a standing position -- Check! Loves attempting to stand and push his legs against things.
Sleeping for extended periods during the night -- Check!
Discovering his hands -- Check! And also his feet. He's still a bit confused by them, but so cute.

Schedule: While in Indiana, he switched to going to bed at 10 or 11pm and waking for good at around 7am. Usually he takes a nap during the mid morning and one during the mid afternoon. The rest of the time, he's wide awake or taking a cat nap.
