We are eternally lucky to have such a well natured, sweet and fun little guy. Today he attended his first football game: the season opener "DC Mayor's Cup" match up between Georgetown and Howard University. It was played on Howard's field, so we got to enjoy their marching band (with some really fun, rocking tunes and lots of dancing - and the dances carry on into the crowds) and a more exciting environment than what is the norm with Georgetown games. It was downright noisy - even on the Georgetown side. There were bugles being blown into the PA system, screaming and stomping fans, sweaty hot weather, the works. And through it all, Arlo was a champ. He even slept through part of it! And to top it off, Georgetown won.
Arlo is in a very "talkative" stage these days - often in the morning he will coo and chatter away from his swing, responding to our prompts. He's delighted when we repeat what he's just said. A favorite is a drawn out "whhooooooo." He gets very excited when Sam is playing guitar or banjo and he'll sing along with a vengence. It's amazing how animated he gets with music.
He loves to stand up - with just a little assistance at balancing, he will stand up and grin ear to ear. He's also into gripping with his toes and does lots of kicking and leg lifts.
Sleeping goes pretty well - he'll go to bed with us around 9 or 10 and - except for a little snack - sleep solidly til 6 or 7. He's even gotten to where he doesn't potty in the night. Of course, he makes up for it during the day!
At 3 months, Arlo seems like he's grown up so much. He's got a whole new head of fuzzy pale hair growing in, plus a tuft of the brown hair he was born with hanging on at the nape of his neck. Eyes are still a bright blue, and he's gotta be over 13 pounds at this point, though we haven't had him in to be weighed in several weeks.
We are truly lucky to have the opportunity for one of us to be here with him all the time, and to have such a healthy, happy boy. Most of the time it seems easy, and we have him to thank for that!
