This is funny. I got this site via e-mail from Shutterfly. I uploaded a picture of Samuel and it returned this video. It searches for a face in the picture you upload... I didn't do anything but upload the picture and put in his name.

3 Months!
I cannot believe my baby is 3 months old! Well, yes I can, but still! 3 months! Time has surely flown by.
13 weeks old this past Tuesday, my baby is well on his way to the land of sitting-uppers. :) He tries with all his might to sit up while strapped into his car seat. His little head leans so far forward. Alas, he is unable to get out. Last night, he pulled himself all the way forward in his little bathtub... from a reclined position to bent over (almost kissing his toes)!
He giggles almost freely now. It's obvious he wants to laugh, but seems unable to get his vocal chords to cut loose. He loves to be talked to and really seems to listen. He gets quiet and looks intently at our faces as we coo and smile and do our best to invoke a response.
He's a bed-squirmer too. I find him turned sideways in the bed when I go to pick him up. Speaking of the bed, he has not slept all night again. 6 hours is his usual, for which I am thankful. I have not established the bedtime routine yet. I must get over myself... I feel so tired most evenings when I should be bathing him and preparing him for bed. I'm just going to have to get over it and get going.
He really enjoys bath time. He loves the water pouring over him, and does not mind it running over his face. He loves looking at colorful patterns. The other night I read to him from a flyer about feeding solid foods. He didn't care what it was. He just enjoyed hearing my voice and looking at the paper.
Samuel is doing well at Granna's house. She says he plays on his little gym and talks and laughs with them. I miss him during the day, and I hate that I am missing his best wake times. But, we do manage to get several smiles and a few giggles in the evenings. That makes it ok.

Laughing and Smiling
I attempted to capture Samuel smiling and laughing. There's a little here, but he (as usual) stopped when he realized the camera was recording. (This was taken 8/22/2007.)
