3 months

Where has the time gone?  Can it really be three months already?!?!

It seems like things are starting to fall into place, and we are figuring you out.

This month your found your fingers.  You found you like to suck on them.  You also like to suck on the ear of your lamb wabbanub. Sometimes you will take the paci part. 

This month you've started daycare.  The ladies tell me everyday how beautiful you are and how much you smile everyday.  They tell me how much of a happy baby you are.  You never cry or fuss.  You take your bottles good, and usually all of it.  You've discovered you like the swing, so this weekend we are going to go get you your own for home.

This month you christened mommy into mommyhood by having a major blowout outside the house.  You decided to poop your pants on the way to JJ's soccer tournament.  Mommy realized it after she had set you on her lap to bundle you up.  Who knew poop could come out a leg hole and onto socks?  You didn't cry or fuss once while Mommy spazed about it.  You rode like a champ back to the hotel in just your diaper so Mommy could get you cleaned up.

You're still a little bit.  You wore newborn pajamas last night.  They are just the right length for you.  You wear mostly size 0-3 clothes, and there is a lot of extra room in them. I don't think you will fit into the valentines onesies I bought this summer (size 3-6).  You are in size 1 diapers, and I suspect you will be for a while. The tabs overlap when I fasten them.  You've got no bum to hold anything up.  You can still wear newborn sized pants.  They are becoming capri length, but they are finally holding up at the waist.

Your love of JJ is growing.  You seem so content when he's holding you.  You love to hang out in his room.  He talks to you and you coo and smile in response.  I know this change has been hard on him, but I think one day the two of you will have an amazing relationship.  

Daddy loves to play with you.  He thinks its funny to rub his nissels against your face.  You don't think that's very funny.  He also thinks it fun to blow in your face when your crying.  This catches you off guard and you stop, look shocked, then proceed to cry some more.  I really must try to get this on video.

You developed a sleeping schedule.  You usually go to bed between 9 and 10.  Although last night you went down at 8:30.  You usually sleep for 4 hours and then wake up to eat.  After that you wake up every 2 hours to eat.  Usually by 6 or 7, you are ready to get up for the day.  So far this has worked out well, hopefully in the next month we can fine tune it, but its ok how it is.  I think I've gotten use to the sleep deprivation.  Its not as hard for me to get up in the night, nor is it as hard to stay awake while you eat.  Usually you eat for less than 10 minutes.  Sometimes you will stretch it out, but its always under 20.

I can't wait to see what changes come in the next month.
