3 Months Old

To say that the last three months have been the best three months of our lives is an understatement!  We wake up every morning so blessed to be the parents of such a sweet little girl.  Don't get me wrong, there are trying times, but the good far out weighs any bad. 

 

 

Our sweet Aven Reese is 3 months old today.  I really can't believe it!  It seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital and I was looking forward to being at home with her for 16 weeks.  Well, that time is almost up :(  You are growing more and more every day and we love to watch what you will do next.

 

• You have been a ROCKSTAR baby and began sleeping "through the night" at about 8 weeks.  You have been sleeping 9-12 hours at night for the past 2-3 weeks and Mommy and Daddy LOVE it!!  You usually go down around 8:00 and sleep until 6:00 or longer. 
 
• You've been sleeping in your crib since you were 9 weeks and you do great as long as your sound machine is on (with white noise), as well as your humidifier.
 
• You constantly smile and there is nothing that makes us happier.  Your noises and expressions are endless. 
 
• You have really been loving your play mat the last few weeks.  You love to swat at the animals and kick your feet to make noise on the crinkly leaf.
 
• You still enjoy bath time.  It seems to really relax you before getting ready for bed and taking that last bottle for the night.  We're still working on reading a book, but you just don't seem to be very interested right now.  We'll keep trying!  ;)
 
• You're taking 6 ounces of formula at each feeding now and usually don't drink all of it unless it's the early morning feeding or the one right before bedtime. 
 
• We're working on your naps...you only sleep for about 30 minutes during the day, maybe 3x a day.  You're like your Mama...you don't want to miss ANYTHING!! 
 
• You love to watch the Christmas lights, the fire in the fireplace, and the t.v. - anything that glows and is bright has your full attention.
 
• You aren't really a fan of tummy time.  You will tolerate it but it's not your favorite.  You do a great job at holding your neck up and using your arms to lift yourself.  You've rolled over one time and are so close to doing it again.
