at 3 months should he be crawling, holding his head up, what do you think?
Answer
he should not be crawing.
He may be holding his head up a little bit better now but don't be discouraged if he can't do it all the way alot of babies do this around 4-5 months or maybe even six months if they aren't getting the proper tummy time. During tummy time he might be trying to mini pushups more.
He may begin to bat/grab at toys, if he misses that's fine he is building his hand eye cordnation.
You have probably heard his first real laugh by now. More coos and babbles will be an everyday thing from now on.

What are some things to think about before having a baby?
Mara
I'm trying to make a list of "problems" and "solutions" - just some things to think about before we have a baby to make sure we are as prepared as we can be. Not big things like financials, more like obstacles along the way.
Such as, traveling by plane with a baby, going grocery shopping with a baby, how to find a baby sitter while traveling etc etc.
Answer
Take the baby with you. My guys are 7 months old I've never had a baby sitter.
You need 2 people. One makes money, one watches the child. The one who watches the child spends all day with the child. They can be mom, dad, a nanny, a daycare provider, grandma whoever. The one who makes money preferably is not the same one, and not the government either.
My guys are easy. We don't take planes, we drive. I put the infant seats on the grocery cart. They like it and will sit back for hours just babbling and smiling. There are babysitters from Craig's list, but I don't use them. When we visit grandparents I might take off for awhile leaving them with grandma. Otherwise their dad watches them, but those outtings are rare. I like bringing my little sidekicks with me places.
I don't find it that difficult, except that we are short 1 income, so finances are tight. The world is made for babies.
We followed an eat-play-sleep schedule so that "jump up at every cry" thing was not true for us. That said, I spent 11 hours a day breastfeeding alone. Then another 4+ doing diaper changes etc. And that is all broken up time. I got 15m out of every 2h to get things done, and 3h of sleep per 24 hours.
By 9 weeks they slept 8 hours straight at night, and now at 7 months they sleep 11 hours straight and take 3 hours of naps during the day, so lots of time for sleep / housework / play. And they like shopping and car rides and stroller rides. We have taken them to restaurants, they just gawk at everything. Today we went to take the car to the shop. We had to wait about 2 hours and they just played with a couple of toys and had bottles in their car seats / stroller.
