Happy third month, Mr. T! As I type this, you are quietly nursing in my lap, drifting off to sleep. We just got back from the doctor's, where we learned that you are in perfect health and 65 cms (25.6 in) long, 7,5 kilos (16.5 lbs). In other words, you're still a giant chubball, so all is good.
Not so good, however, was the second vaccine we gave you... it sure got you upset. Although, I don't know if it hurt you more than it hurt your mama to see you hurting. You were wailing afterwards, and I scooped you up right away. A minute later you were your usual cheery, curious self, but I walked the whole way home from the doctor's with you in my arms -- just to let you know that I'll always be there for you 150% when you're upset. I'm still not sure who was comforting whom.
This month has been the most exciting yet, as you have started showing hints of your personality. You love to talk and sometimes get very frustrated when nobody understands what you're saying. The resulting furrowed brow of concentration is far too serious for your little three-month face, but it's a staple in your repertoire of expressions. You have also reached a bunch of milestones this month, acting more like a four- or five-month-old than a three-er. You have started giggling and squeeling in delight, which of course nobody finds cute at all. You can lift yourself up on your arms now, and your neck is super strong. More than anything, you are perfecting your ability to stand, even though I keep telling you that you've got plenty of time to work on that.
Lots of the baby books and articles I read said that things start getting easier around the three month mark, and I couldn't agree more. You are so fun to take care of now, and everybody remarks on how chill you are. I hope you stay this way because you are just a sweet, sweet baby. No complaints here. You've even started letting your mama sleep 6-7 hours each night.
This month is going to be all topsy turvy as the two of us close one chapter of our lives in order to start another. Just keep smiling and I am pretty sure I will, too.

Aaaaaa! Just saw this post -- happy belated 3-months, Teo! Such great photos -- looks like he's posing for the camera. His expressions are hilarious, just classic.
Good luck with tying up all the loose strings and details in the next few weeks. I know you're going to be super-busy, but like you said, you'll be starting a whole new chapter in your life, and that will bring many things to look forward to.
I together with my friends have already been digesting the excellent points found on your site and then suddenly got an awful suspicion I never thanked you for them. All the guys are actually thrilled to read all of them and have in actuality been taking advantage of them. Thanks for turning out to be indeed helpful and for deciding on such incredible areas most people are really eager to be aware of. Our honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to earlier.
