3 Months Old & 13 Weeks Old

Brady, You are THREE months old!

What have you been up to?

*  You are a great eater, and it shows!  You eat every 3-3 1/2 hours during the day and anywhere from 4-9 hours at night!  You nurse anywhere from 9-30 minutes each feeding.  Most feedings are around 12 minutes.  You are still 100% on momma's milk!

*  The past 2 nights you have slept through the night!!!  You have a "dream feed" at 11 then you sleep until about 7:30.  When you don't sleep through the night, you only wake up once, around 4 to eat and then you go right back to sleep until 8. 

*  You wear a size 1 diaper (Pamper's Swaddlers), but we are about to move to size 2 tomorrow!  You only have a few 0-3 month outfits that still fit you and we've moved into 3-6 month clothes!  I'm always so sad when you outgrow one of your outfits!

*  During the day, you take 30 minute naps every 3 hours.  Sometimes you'll surprise me and take an hour to an hour and a half nap!  You did that this morning on my chest!  If you wake up from a nap before your next feeding you only want to be held.  If we try to put you down you cry!  Lucky for you and us, we love to hold you!
 

*  You love to suck on your fists or anything that gets close to your mouth!  You try to take a paci but have a hard time latching onto it!  If you do latch on, you'll spit it out and then put your fists in your mouth!  The other day you had all of your fingers in your mouth! 

*  You are such a happy baby and smile all the time!  Your smiles are the sweetest and they melt my heart every.single.time!  I don't know how I'm ever going to tell you no, but I'm sure I will!  You also love to talk, especially in the morning!  I can tell when you think something is funny because you make an almost laugh!  I know your first real laugh is just around the corner!

*  You still love to play on your activity mat!  You are much more interactive with it now!  You love to kick your legs and hit the toys dangling from it!  It's so much fun to watch you on it!  You tolerate tummy time for a few minutes every day!  You can hold your head up while your on your tummy for a few minutes then you resort to sucking on the blanket!

*  You can now roll onto your side!  You usually do it when you're just in your diaper! 

*  You love to watch TV.  I have to turn it off during the day at times, because it always catches your attention!

*  We went on our first family vacation this month to the beach!  You were such a happy baby, except for at dinner time when you wanted to be held.  We had such a great time, and we look forward to many more family vacations!   

*  You LOVE bathtime!  You smile so big and kick your legs during it!  This month you started trying to situp while in the bath! 

*  You have become quite the drooler!  You drool a lot especially after you have finished eating your fists!  Your drooly kisses are the BEST!

Brady, You are a dream, wish, prayer come true!  I love you more than you will ever know!  You have my heart and every fiber in my body!  I love you sweet sweet boy!
