| At three months old, Wylie has begun trying to put things in his mouth, including his hand. |
Wylie wakes up (He's been asleep since 11:00 pm!) to a visit by his brother and a stuffed groundhog and a monkey attached to a little blanket shoved in his face. Good morning half-swaddled sleepy head!
7:15 am
After a quick diaper change and nose wipe, Wylie and Mommy head downstairs for his first feeding of the day, while watching Handy Manny with Finn.
7:45 am
Buckled up to take Finn to school, Wylie is a bit unhappy in the car. He is awake and alert enough to know this is supposed to be his play time and he is getting jipped by being stuck in his car seat. He hangs out in his car seat, staring at Finn's friends at school for a bit, then falls asleep on the way back home.
9:30
Wakes up happy and willing to hang out on Mommy's lap for a few minutes while she finishes up on the computer. Some bubbles and drool are escaping from his mouth, but he couldn't be teething already, could he? Wylie plays with hands and works hard to hold his head steady while he's balanced between Mommy's arms, stomach, and the table. He likes to push against Mommy's lap with his strong little legs.
9:45
During his diaper change Wylie alternates between trying to chew his hands and flashing sly, flirty smiles at Mommy. He coos away saying "eeee" and "arrrg" and his favorite, "a gooo." Waiting to eat, he lets out a few loud squaks, but sitting down with Mommy he is distracted by staring at Mommy's face and can't decide if he wants to keep flirting and cooing or dive in and eat.
10:30
Wylie is ready to play and spends some time hanging out on his play mat. He grabs at the hanging rings and studies the music-playing star, seeming to think it is a good friend. He ogles the cow and tries to pull it toward him, trying to get the tail to his mouth. His legs go, go, go as if he's learning to do the back stroke, and his little arms flap around with closed fists. He sometimes wiggles his head back and forth as if he has an itch on the back of his noggin. Then he'll pause for a moment, still and quiet until something gets him excited and the movement, quick breaths, and flailing start up again. Starting to seem discontent and stinky, time for a fresh diaper and a change of scenery. Meanwhile he's yawning, but could be really be ready for his next nap already?

11:00
Clean diaper and a bit more play, hanging out on Mommy and Papa's bed. Let's study Calvert.
11:30
Grouchy all of a sudden, Wylie is tired and ready for a nap. A little rocking in Mommy's arms and he is out, but will he stay asleep once laying in his crib? That would be no, so we try it again--rock and sway, drowsy eyes. This time he stays asleep peaceful in his crib, still looking small on the crib mattress. Rain sounds and a dark room will hopefully help Wylie take a long nap.
12:00
Not a long nap at all, Wylie wakes up 20 minutes later and will not settle back down, so time for eats again. His naps are still rather unpredictable. Some days he is all about little cat naps, other days he settles in for never-ending, zonked-out naps.
1:15
A little play time, but Wylie is a bit grouchy, he needs to sleep, so off we go for a walk and a stop at the grocery store. He is still willing to give Mommy some smiles and coos as we walk up the street.
2:15
In and out of sleep Wylie is awake when we arrive back home. Not ready to eat yet, Mommy declares it bath time! He doesn't mind stripping down and slashing around a bit, even emits a few giggles.

Time for eats yet again. Wylie struggles to stay awake while he eats, but this is unusual, just because he hasn't napped well today.
4:00
Back in the car to run one errand and fetch big brother from school. Wylie sleeps and sleeps, in and out of Finn's school and back home again.
5:30
Since his sleepiness kept him from eating as much during his last feeding, Wylie is ready to eat again already. He doesn't spend much time crying on a typical day, but does sometimes turn on the tears when he wants to eat, or sleep.

| "I'm hungry. I don't want a fresh diaper. I want to eat!" |
6:00
Papa arrives home just in time to hang out with little Wylie before dinner. His usual "fussy time," Wylie wants to be held and fights falling asleep. He hang out in his chair while we eat dinner.
7:30
A little play time with the family before Finley's bed time. Wylie seems interested in what Finn is doing and will tolerate being hugged and held by his brother.

8:00
It really is all about eat, play, sleep. Since Wylie little man didn't nap this round, time to eat again during books time. Finally Wylie conks out in his vibrating chair in the play room, his typical evening nap.
10:30
One last feeding before bed around 11:00. Wylie gets swaddled up, rocked for a minute, and goes down for the night with no complaints.
