We're finally back in California.  Thank goodness!  I really needed to get back to the warmer temperatures, my own bed, and J.  Tomorrow is Arthur's 3 month birthday.  I'm so excited to see him grow and explore.

Likes: Toys, toys and more toys.  He's really loving all his new toys!

Dislikes: Not being held, loud noises

Sleeping: It was really nice having Arthur sleep 6 hour stretches while in Indiana.  Unfortunately, we have reverted to 4 hour stretches back at home.  I'm hoping he's just adjusting back.

Eating: He usually eats 4 ounces at a time.  But sometimes he downs 7 ounces or so in an 1:30 stretch.  He's such a piggy pig sometimes!

Playing:Oh my goodness!  He is really loving all his new toys.  He's especially fond of his taggie monster, the wire ball, and his hanging toys.  This week we tried out the new jumper.  He's slowly warming up to it.  He hasn't gotten the hang of pressing buttons or making the toys move, but he does love the music and lights.

Medical Milestones: 

• Can see up to 20 feet away -- Definitely watches me walk around the apartment.  He also quiets when I come into his view.
• Drooling -- Oh yeah...  He's a drooling machine now.
• Rolling over -- Finally!  Yesterday he rolled from back to tummy all on his own!  He hung out there for a while and then rolled onto his back again.
• Holding toys -- He's grabbing more things and sometimes he even grabs one of his toys.

Schedule: He is all over the place right now.  I'm trying to re-establish a good night time routine to encourage sleeping through the night.  Naps are hit or miss during the day.

Out and About: We finally made it back to California on Saturday evening.  The few days before getting back we mainly spent them in my mom's house as it was absolutely freezing in the Midwest.  Since being back, it's nice to go outside and enjoy the warm weather. Yesterday Arthur and I made our first solo trip to the grocery.  I stuck him in the baby carrier and we walked around shopping.  He did amazingly well!  No crying, just a happy baby looking around at all the new sights.
