Nikolai is Three Months Old for Christmas!

On Christmas Eve, this amazing guy turned three months old
This little pj set was mine on my first Christmas.  Alexander wore it for his first Christmas, and now Nikolai is wearing it!  Being three months old instead of days old, and being extra long, it didn't fit him quite as well as it did Xander and me, but he is still pretty darn cute.

Looking like a little boy already

Caesar's Palace for Christmas Eve

What a clown

A Bumble in his "sock"

Our traditional Christmas cinnamon rolls

Zoey was worn out quick from all the activity

So was Nikolai!

 We spent the whole day in our pajamas, playing with our new toys and enjoying family time



Milestones
First car trip!  He did fabulous on both legs, having only a quick meltdown at hour 5 in each direction.  A little break from the car seat and a change of clothes and he was happy and smiling for the rest of the trip.

He loves to giggle and chat.  His favorite things are his duck rattle and the fan, which daddy made extra special by hanging the duck FROM the fan.  Mind blown!  When we got back from Tucson, he saw the duck was still there and had the biggest fit of giggles.  Heart melted!  His sounds are really starting to develop.  Alexander asked him if he wanted something, and we all heard him say,
"I dooooo!"

His hips have self corrected!  He no longer shows any signs of hip dysplasia from being breach.

He is very tall, needing 3-6 month clothes for his height, even though they are a bit baggy in girth.

He still wakes up around midnight and 3am, and then wants to be up for the day between 4 and 5am.  Luckily he really likes toys, so often I can catch a few more minutes by turning on his mobile.

His feet are crazy sweaty.  A couple of times I have wondered if his diaper leaked to his feet....then I realized this little guy just sweats through them!

We are in the third leap and it has been rough.  The first two leaps were easy,m with minimal sleep disruptions or mood changes, but showing all the developmental breakthroughs as expected.  This third leap has left us grumpy and sleepless.  Here's to the other side!
