15 weeks, nearly 4 months

I am more and more in awe of this baby on a daily basis. Yes, he is actually 15 weeks, almost 4 months, but he really should be only 8 or 2 months...but still, he is cooing, following, reaching for toys, all things I remember Greyson doing at this same time frame.

I have been going hog wild buying baby clothes lately...stuff for the fall and winter. He wore preemie stuff for a bit, still fits some NB, but today, the outfit I was sure was a winter outfit in 0-3 fits him perfectly. Where is my tiny baby going? He is just so perfect.

I weighed him today on a "normal person" scale that only will give you a .0 to .9 reading after the pounds and he was 11.8 lbs with an empty tummy and diaper. This means he is 3 times his birthweight of only 4 lbs.

Of course, I still get told he looks small, but he is huge in my eyes...and our hearts.

Three Months Old...

Today, Gunner is three months old. He should be just about 6 weeks now, but we have been blessed with him for three whole months. He is just such a good baby. He rarely cries, he smiles and coos as soon as he wakes up, and he sleeps, eats and just has an amazing temperament.

He is growing like crazy. Here are the stats:

He is roughly 3 x's his birth weight now, I have a cheapo scale, so I am not sure exactly, but I am thinking he is about 12 lbs.

He, by my not so skillful measuring skills with a paper tape measure is about 22 inches long.

And they always measure head circumference, and his noggin is 15inches around.

This means in the last 3 months, he has put on 8 lbs, almost 6in and 5 inches of brain growth.

Here is a good pic to illustrate one month worth of growth:
