Burkleigh Ann is three months...

Oh my goodness.. time needs to slow down!  You are three months old!!

Here's what you are up too:

*You weigh 11 lbs and 15 1/2 oz.

*You are smiling, laughing, cooing at us all the time now.

*You are really reaching for your toys and grabbing them.  You love your play mat and will just talk to your toys and hold on tight to them.  You hold on tight to our fingers too.

*You rolled over for the first time on the floor.  I put you on your tummy on your mat and you rolled right on to your back.  You are a strong little thing.  You've done this once before on the couch too but not on the floor. You were holding your head up and just looking all around.

*You have found your toes and are beginning to grab them when you are laying down.

*You love your bath but you hate to get lotion on and get dressed.  You cry/scream almost every time.

*You have gotten a little ecezma on your legs and arms. We are lathering you up with cream.

*You were sleeping through the night and now you have gone back to your old ways.. =(  I hope this will change soon.  You are back to getting up about once into the night.  You still sleep good though!

*Mommy is trying really hard to get you on a schedule.  You are beginning to eat every 3-4 hours.  You were such a little snacker and it was hard to get you eating consistently. Mommy was worried that you weren't getting enough because sometimes you won't eat a lot during the day.  (1-2 oz)  But, Dr. Andy says you will eat when you get hungry and you are gaining weight.  You are in the 50th percentile.  You eat about 3-4 oz during the day and in the evenings will eat about every 2 hours and your last bottle will usually be 5-6 oz.  I think you're gonna be a little petite thing.

*When you get sleepy, you will rub your eyes and grab your ear.  Your little eyelids will get red too.  During the day, you fight sleep and will usually cry when I put you down.

*You have decided to be a thumb sucker..just like mommy!  You won't really take the paci anymore.  Oh well.. one less thing to keep up with!  At least you can sooth yourself!

*Clothes:  0-3 months beginning to wear 3 months things

*Diapers: 1-2 and a 2 at night

*You love to watch TV.  You just stare at all the colors.

*You are high maintenance.  You only sleep in your swings for naps and if I put you anywhere else you will only sleep for about 30 minutes and will sleep in your swing 2-4 hours.

*You are not the greatest when we get out and about.  Every time I seem to have a lunch date or go places, you decide to cry or scream.  But, as long as I am at home you are fine.  I hope this changes real soon. 

*You were a fussy little girl but lately you have stopped being so fussy!! Yeah! Maybe it is the 3 month turn around.. =)

*We had to increase your reflux medicine and I think your little tummy is finally starting to feel better.  Poor baby.

*You love your "bug" toy rattle and your new duck toy.  You always smile at them and you are grabbing them and putting them in your mouth.

Happy 3 months! We love you so!!
