~ SO CUTE ~

JOSHUA TURNED 12 WEEKS OLD TODAY! HE IS GOING THROUGH THE 3 MONTH GROWTH SPURT AT THE MOMENT, BECAUSE HE HAS FINALLY STARTED TO EAT MORE, JUST 3 OUNCES AT A TIME NOW INSTEAD OF 2. HE IS ALSO SLEEPING A LITTLE MORE. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO WEIGH OR MEASURE HIM, AND PROBABLY WON'T GET IT DONE UNTIL SUNDAY WHEN HE OFFICIALLY TURNS 3 MONTHS OLD(WOW!). HE HAS NOW ROLLED OVER BOTH WAYS, AND HAS LEARNED HOW TO RUB HIS EYES WHEN HE IS SLEEPY(IT'S SO CUTE TO SEE HIM DO THIS) AND HE LOVES TO CHEW ON HIS HANDS, AND WILL GET HIS POINTER FINGER IN THERE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND START SUCKING ON IT. HE ALSO LIKES TO KICK AT HIS TOYS WHEN HE IS LAYING ON HIS PLAY MAT.

HE WENT FOR HIS FIRST REALLY LONG CAR RIDE ON SATURDAY, AND DID REALLY WELL! HE ONLY FUSSED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE WHOLE WAY UP TO HARPER! WHICH WAS A RELIEF TO MOMMY, DADDY AND JONATHAN! WE WERE AFRAID THAT HE WOULD CRY A LOT DURING THE TRIP, BUT HE DIDN'T. HE ONLY CRIED WHEN HE WAS HUNGRY OR HAD A DIRTY DIAPER, OR WHEN HE COULDN'T GET BACK TO SLEEP. HE WAS A REALLY GOOD BABY!
