My little girl is already three months old - we made it through the crazy 0-3 month stage! Woo hoo!!
This little girl has changed quite a bit since she was born and it's really exciting to start seeing more of that wonderful personality and more and more motor skills.
*You have to be at least 14 to 15 pounds at this point, but you don't go back to the pediatrician until you are four months old.
*You are drooling like there is no tomorrow. I have examined your gums and felt them, but no teeth are coming in at this point.
*You still use your paci when you are trying to fall asleep, but then you spit it right out when you are relaxed and asleep. At night, when you wake up and you don't have your pacifier, you have found out how to suck on your left thumb and you go right back to sleep. It's glorious!
*You smile A LOT. Especially when we are trying to put you down for a nap and we fail miserably. Like Grammy said, you just sit there and laugh at us.
*You had been doing really well with naps. Usually a two to three hour nap in the morning, about an hour nap in the afternoon, and then a cat nap right before bed time. This past week, though, you really threw us for a loop. NO NAPPING AT ALL DURING THE DAY. Sheesh! You would only sleep for about 20 to 25 minutes. But, so far that phase has subsided.
*You giggled for the first time! It was the absolute sweetest thing - those raspberries on the belly did the trick. Since then, you have not giggled again. I've got to find out what you think is funny, lady!
*You are currently eating five ounces at every feeding. Usually five bottles in a day, sometimes six depending on when you wake up.
*You have slept through the night a number of times, but not consistently. That sixth bottle seems to do the trick. But even on five bottles you will sleep ten hours straight. Good job, girl!
*You are killing it with tummy time. You still don't love it for a long period of time, but you can now get your entire chest off of the floor. That's my strong girl!
*You can still roll from your tummy to your back, but haven't made the big turn from back to tummy...although, you are close.
*This picture just shows how much you wiggle these days. You love to move on the play mat and especially in the bathtub. Splashing that water is one of your favorite things to do!
*You are using your hands more and you enjoy batting toys around. It's really nice to see you using your hands and loosening up when it comes to your arms and legs.
*You still enjoy sleeping in the Mamaroo during the day and the crib at night.
*You are officially OUT OF THE SWADDLE! Man, that was an amazing turn of events :) I used the sleep sack for a little bit to kind of ease you out of the swaddle, but you didn't want that either. You want to sprawl out in the crib and be able to move on your own without any restrictions. Have at it!
It's amazing how we as parents freak out about things and babies just kind of do it on their own.
Happy three months, baby girl - let's enjoy the Fall weather and all of the holidays coming up!
