Karsten turned 3 months old last week. It is so hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. Overall, K is an incredibly easy baby. (With the exception of this past Tues, where he cried the entire day long!)
Karsten and Kristylee
Karsten is 12 pounds, 4 ounces.
He is 23' long and has a 15 1/4" head.
Karsten is almost sleeping through the night. He still wakes up once around 4AM, after falling asleep at 8PM. Occasionally I'll wake him up at 10 when I fall asleep to give him a bottle.
(Since writing this post, Karsten has slept through the night 5 times!)
He spit up crazy amounts! I get soaked after every single bottle. And, it takes him an hour to finish spitting up. It's not just a "have a bottle, burp, then spit up" thing. It's a surprise spit up. I never know when it's coming. He always gets the hiccups once he's done spitting up.
Karsten is learning to sit on his own. We do this fun balancing act where I prop him up, he tips over, I prop him up again, then he tips over again. He held himself up for about 45 seconds the other day. I cheered big time! He likes to practice sitting in the Bumbo chair.
He laughed for the first time this week. It was a beautiful sound. I cried. Karsten is always smiling!
Karsten got sick the night before his 3 month birthday. He started coughing really bad and I knew the big ol' croup was coming. (It must run in the family "blood"-Daniel had croup so many times!) I took him to the doctors office the next morning and as I suspected, croup was the diagnosis. Hopefully a round or two of steriods will kick this quickly.
Next weekend we head off on our big RV trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. I was really hoping Karsten would be sleeping through the night. We are close, but not there yet.
Karsten, your smiling personality is starting to show through. You look so much like your Grandpa Gogo.
I love you and seeing more of who you are going to become each day!
