The Mark Family: 3 Months Old!!!!

John David turned 3 months old on Friday! He continues to be a sweet and adorable baby boy who is such a joy to be around. He has been sleeping through the night for almost a month now for 9 hours straight and still takes a great nap in the afternoon along with shorter naps throughout the day. His Mom and Dad are incredibly grateful! He is a very happy baby, smiling and laughing out loud. Just in the last couple of days he has started "talking" to us and he has the most adorable little voice. He can hold his head and torso up on his own really well and he loves to stand and sit, with a little assistance of course! We take 2.5 to 3 mile walks in the stroller each morning, now without the car seat, which John and Mom equally enjoy (Mom is happy to no longer have the extra 10 pounds of the car seat to push around). John can now reach out and grab toys, fingers and whatever else he can get his hands on. He loves to stick these same items in his mouth! He loves his Angle Dear Monkey "Mikey" (http://www.angeldear.net/cuddle/1133_dark_monkey_c.php) that Aunt Meredith gave him and it promptly calms him down when riding in his nemesis, the car seat! He loves when we sing "Old McDonald" (I have had to come up with more than more interesting animals for him to have on his farm). We continue to be immensely grateful for our precious baby boy and hope you enjoy some of the pictures below from this past month.
