1,2,3 little months are we

So Eli is actually almost 4 months old, but I figured I should get caught up with the first three months first.  Eli is growing in leaps and bounds and looks like a fairly chunky 3 month old, however in a milestone sense you can tell he's a preemie. He has good head control when you hold him, but tummy time is a completely different story! He hates it still! He scruffles his face and will barely pull his head up let alone push up on his arms and he's no where near to rolling. He did finally unclench his hands and has begun swatting at his toys and grabbing them. But he doesn't have good grips when you place your fingers in his and try to pull him up, and he won't hold a toy that you put in his hand.  Sometimes I worry he's to far behind, my husband says not to worry he's perfect the way he is.  So I'm going to try not to worry and leave it in Gods hands.  Things Eli does do is giggle sometimes and smile socially. He's really starting to recognize his people and I love it when he's nursing and then just looks at me with this huge grin on his face. He's also becoming very nosey making nursing a fun adventure. He loves baths and watches his brother all the time. It's going to be so fun watching them grow up. Eli's current stats are 13 pounds 12.4 ounces pretty impressive for a kid who started at 5 pounds 13 ounces! And he's about 20 inches long. We go back for his four month check up soon, so I'll have exact measurements then.
