Emma: Three Months!


Size/Weight: Starting to get snug in her 6 month clothes! (I weighed her today, which by the time of posting she's more like 14 weeks, but she was 16.2 pounds!)


Sleep: Down by about 9:30-10 (with or without me having to nurse her to sleep laying down... which if you've ever done, puts you right to sleep too...), then up at 3 for a quick snack. Every once in awhile she will wake up at 6 or 7 for a quick snack too, then back to sleep until about 9... She's a decent napper through the day; averages a half hour in her crib, or four hours on my chest. Ha! (Apparently, I'm much more comfortable than a crib. Good to know!)

Social: She's a funny gal-- most all the time, she has her super serious face on-- she likes to look at all sorts of things and people with her concerned face-- but as soon as you start engaging her, she's a ball of 'fist in my mouth' happy smiles. She prefers to tell me about her day at night, although she is quite chatty at diaper change and song time too!





Diet: Still breastfeeding! Working on the bottle. It wasn't going well at all at first; we've been practicing more, and she's getting used to it... If I pretend it's me first... ha!

Clothes: Officially brought down the six month clothes from the attic! Only shed a tear or two. Although she's already getting snug in some things... what the heck?!
Likes: Songs (if you're happy and you know it, the wheels on the bus, whatever is on the radio, and whatever song I make up about the girls going about their days), gripping all the things and licking them profusely, watching sister play, baths, tickles-- especially from sister!, Sister in general, EATING, staying up past her bedtime because she likes to party. 

Dislikes: When she can't figure out how to get something in her mouth (oh. She gets pissed. Don't tell her she can't do it.), when you try to sit her down when she'd rather be seeing the world in your arms, and tummy time-- has to be just the right time for tummy time! If not, she will sing you her adorable song of rage (tummy time is where a lot of the 'musical upset noises' come from... been trying to get them on video with no luck yet! They're sadly adorable.)
Milestones: Grabbing/putting in the mouth! It was cool seeing her not be able to reach for something one day... then the next day it just clicked. She can lift her head up decently high now from her tummy and turn it, and she's got lots of happy giggly sounds going on! Loving it!! Three months is so much fun. It's the transition from little baby bean to a tiny person... I won't talk about how sad it is that I will never again have a 'newborn...' both these gals have made the first three months of their lives incredibly snugly and adorable, and I have a thousand memories and photos to prove it!!
