Addie Grey- Three Months

Well, while I'm busy trying to figure out how to slow down time, you're busy growing like a weed. Three months have flown by in a flash.

 This past month was tough as mommy had to return to work.  It has been extremely difficult on her, but (even with all her worrying) you've handled it like a champ. While mommy is at work, you've settled into a nice routine of eating every three hours and falling asleep on your own at nap time.

You continue to be a very laid back and easy baby. As long as your belly is full and you are well rested, we are good to go. And, oh your smiles!!! They can melt the toughest heart.

 You are really starting to want to interact more with us and we love it. You aren't quite as vocal as your sister was at this age, but you do make the occasional cooing noise. Most of the time, you are quiet and content just to look around.

 At three months you....

• Eat 4-5 ounces every 3 hours when drinking from a bottle. If mommy is home and you're able to nurse, you still eat every 2 hours.
• Fall asleep on your own at nap time. As soon as you fuss from being tired, we lay you down on your belly and you fall right to sleep.
• Speaking of nap time, it's the ONLY time you will take a paci. You suck it for just a few seconds, fall asleep and then spit it out.
• Still suck your fingers and fist pretty often. But you don't do it to soothe yourself. You do it while you're wide awake and happy.
• When you're laying on your back to play, you rock on to your side. You do it over and over until you basically rotate yourself in a complete circle.
• You've started batting at your toys on your playmat.
• You do NOT like to be laying flat on your back. You strain as hard as you can to try to sit yourself up. I joke that you are going to give yourself a hernia.
• You still wear size 0-3 month clothes, but I can tell they are starting to get too sma s
• During tummy time, you will raise yourself up so you can try to look around.
• Still love to be in your bouncy seat.
• Haven't laughed yet, but mommy sure tries!! Don't think it will be much longer.

The joy you bring us continues to grow. We love you more than words can say!
