Judd, you are no longer a newborn, sweet boy. You are now THREE MONTHS OLD! I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. What a wonderful three months it has been!3 Month STATS
15.5 lbs
probably 24 inches
-You wear size 3-6 months clothing
-You are in a size 2 diaper, but we are slowly moving to cloth diapers as you cannot help but blow out of disposables every. single. day! I am switching between g disposable inserts and g cloth throughout the day and you wear Pampers 2's at night.
-You sleep from 8:30 until 8:30 with a feed at 5:30 or 6:00, but every once in a while you will wake up at 2:00 or 3:00 if you are extra hungry. I'm hopeful you will begin sleeping all the way through soon, just like your sister did around months 3 & 4.
-Your naps are pretty inconsistent as the part of your brain that establishes regular naps is still developing. You go down after no more than 2 hours of wakefulness and take about an hour long snooze, four or five times a day. I have noticed that your morning nap is the longest.
-You take 7 ounces of milk, every 3 hours. Sometimes though, even an 8 ounce bottle doesn't fill you up. What on earth, little boy? I can tell you will be eating solids VERY SOON!
-Your eyes are greenish brown at the moment.
What are you up to?
You are SUCH a happy baby and are very social. You love to smile when anybody talks to you. We call you a little flirt. You also LOVE to talk and hear your voice. You coo and squeal so much and it melts us!
Your favorite person is most definitely Ava. She can make you smile from ear to ear and you LOVE talking to her. Mommy is a close second after sister.
Your favorite "toy" is your red baby bjorn bouncer seat. You kick your legs a ton and so this makes the bouncer bounce and you love the movement. You also love to be in the swing.
You roll over from belly to back just as soon as we put you on your belly. Your first time to roll over was at 9 weeks, just like your sister!

My favorite thing that you do at this age is when I put your car seat in it's base in our car, you immediately look up at yourself in the mirror and grin SO SO BIG! Every single time!! I LOVE THIS about you.
You love routine and predictability and I try to give you that as much as I can, with exception to the three days Ava has school. We are in the car more than I'd prefer, but I'm hoping this makes you a flexible baby.
We love you so very much and you have brought so much JOY to this home. Ava gets so sad when I put you down for a nap because she thinks you nap too much. Ha! She wants you to be around us at all times. I agree with her, little buddy! We both get so excited and run to your room when we hear you wake up.
I am so happy you have recovered from your rough start at life and look forward to what this next month has in store for you as you continue to grow bigger, explore new things around you, and develop your sweet little personality right before my eyes!
Oh he is just so stinkin' cute!!! :-) I LOVE his belly, darling! Happy 3 months, Judd! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he's this big! I love his chubs. He makes me want another boy!
ReplyDeleteBoth of mine rolled over at 2 months too. I think the hardest thing about #2 is learning to be flexible, especially when they're still on a 2-nap-a-day sched. I had SUCH a strict routine with Knox. He got his bottles at the same time everyday and we didn't divert from nap times for anything... With H we ended up having what I called a morning "car/cat nap" because almost everyday she took her 1st nap while we were out running errands. But I think the flexibility has been good for both of us. She switched to a once a day nap schedule MUCH earlier than Knox and she sleeps at night so much better than he ever did.
Happy 3 Months to Judd!
GAH. He is cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear about the brain/nap thing. I'll stop beating myself up over the lack of long and consistent naps!
