3 Months Old

  

Here is what our 3 month old is up to:

• She wears some 0-3 month and some 3-6 month clothes.  Size 2 diapers.
• She eats 4 ounces every 3 hours during the day.  I’m nursing her in the mornings, pumping milk throughout the day, and feeding her a formula bottle before bed.
• She goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps anywhere from 8-10 hours before waking up starving!
• She is SO smiley!  Especially when she first wakes up from bed time or a nap.
• She has found her hands and always seems to be chewing on her fists. 
• She likes to be part of whatever is going on and enjoys being talked to.
• She puts weight on her legs now and loves to stand on your lap.
• She has started cooing and talking, still very quietly though, she really doesn’t make much noise at all.  (unless we’re in the car).
• She still is not a fan of the car!  I bought her a convertible car seat to see if maybe it was just the infant carrier she didn’t like.  It has helped a little, but was not the miracle I was hoping for.
• She loves to swing and stays content in it for hours at a time.  She has a swing at home, one at Vicki’s, one at Poppy & Nana’s, and every time I pick her up from the daycare at the gym she’s in the swing.  It didn’t take long for people to figure out how to keep my girl happy!
• She recently started grabbing at the toys on her activity mat and also sitting in her Bumbo seat.
• She has found her big brother and now if he is in her range of sight her eyes are fixed on his every move!
• Big brother has made up some interesting nicknames for her.  He used to call her Maisy Telijah, then it was Maze, now it’s May-ziki.  His nicknames for her always rub off on us and we find ourselves calling her whatever he calls her that week. 

As a family we are all so in love with this little girl.  She has made the last 3 months of our lives that much sweeter, we just can’t get enough of her.
