Rolling With It: 12 weeks already!

I can't believe how fast time has gone and how much our little boy has grown. We took him to the doctor on the 21st. He weighed in at 13 lbs 12 oz and is 22 3/4 inches! He's on the low end for both height and weight, between the 28th and 50th %tile, but too us, he's getting SO big! He has been given quite a few nicknames, but one is pretty regular...squishy. We are always calling him squishy, because his cheeks are so full as is his diaper all the time...LOL. As soon as we change his diaper, he's wet again...so he earned this name from his daddy pretty early on.
I have such an amazing husband! He's awesome at changing diapers, giving bottles, putting him to sleep, and playing with him. Lately, he's calmed down on the crying, only cries when he was hungry...except for yesterday and today. We decided to try to put him back down to 5 ounces of formula because his stomach was SO full after eating 6 ounces we thought it was hurting him. But yesterday and today he's been a terror! I'm thinking because he went from 30 ounces of milk...which is what he needs...to 25 ounces...so he's been hungry? Well I just decided that he needs this extra milk and he's back to 6 ounces. I have had such a struggle determining how much to feed him. I try to take his ques he gives, but that didn't work, so now, I'm going off mommy instinct and leaving him at 30 ounces. If he wakes up in the middle of the night before 5, then he will get 6, 5 ounces bottles, otherwise, he will get his first bottle at 6, that was been working well last week, so we'll just get back on that schedule.
This coming week is pretty exciting for us. Nick returns to work on Monday...not so excited about that, but it's time. We will be visiting with our friends that just had twin girls and on the 2nd, which he will be 3 months that day...we will be celebrating our Independence Day. There's an event here called, Rockin' 2nd, where they have a carnival type of event and then fireworks at dusk. What better way to celebrate his 3rd month of life! We're also hoping for warmer weather, not much warmer, just sunny perhaps?, so we can go on our regular walks. I asked for cool weather a few weeks back and that's all we've had since! It's been raining EVERY day! We're also going to try to get on a schedule that coincides with Nick and his work schedule. That way he'll be able to enjoy spending time with us and Xander won't already be in bed or being a terror because he's tired.

His schedule recently:
Wake up at 0555
Eat 6 ounces at 0600, plays one hour and goes back to sleep
Wakes up between 0900-0930, play and talk with mommy in bouncy while mom makes breakfast,
Eat 6 ounces at 1000, watch baby. ein.stein
Nap at 1100-1230, not continuous sleep yet
(When the weather is nice, we go on a long walk, between an hour and half to two hours)
Eat 6 ounces at 1400, tummy time and mat time
Nap at 1530-1730, this one he sleeps the whole time, 95% of the time
Eat 6 ounces at 1800, talk with mom and dad while they eat their dinner, play in bouncy while mom cleans up the kitchen
Bath at 2015 every other night (thinking of switching to mornings), massage after bath, story time, bible time, get him swaddled for the night
Eat 6 ounces at 2100
Bedtime at 2120 and sleeps usually until right before 0600.
