Three Months Old
Month three has probably been the most fun yet! You had a lot of firsts this month which always makes it fun and your little personality is really starting to shine through. You are the sweetest and most smiley baby I have ever met! You absolutely love to interact with others and even giggle every now and then! You love your Mommy and Daddy and think your brother is the best thing since sliced bread. Everything he does is so captivating to you and you had your first laugh or shall I say string of laughs while watching him jump up and down. I don't know what about it you found so amusing, but he had you laughing for about 2 minutes straight! It is my favorite thing ever to watch you two interact and I can only imagine that if you love him this much now, you will love him even more as you get older!
This month you continued to grow like a weed! You are wearing some 3-6 month clothing a some 6 month onesies. You are also now officially in size 2 diapers. We bought you a 6 month bathing suit for our beach trip and had to stuff you in it because you had already basically outgrown it before you even wore it. I guess mommy should have tried it on you first huh?
Your sleep habits are getting better and better and you even slept through the night this month several times. Well what I consider to be sleeping though the night which is 12+ hours. The first time you slept through the night was the first week of September (9/2/2013) to be exact. You slept from 8:45pm- 8:00am. I was so excited because I honestly was getting exhausted and thinking you might never do it. You did it again the next night too and then decided that it was enough and you wanted to wake up around 4-5am again for the next two weeks. Boo! It wasn't until 9/22/13 that you decided you wanted to do it again and this time you slept until 8:30am! So far you have slept through the night for the past two nights so hopefully this is going to stick and you continue being my wonderful little sleeper! You are so easy to put to bed too! I feed you, burp you, swaddle you and then lay you down in your crib. Its that easy! You are normally out by the time I get to the bottom of the stairs but if not its only like a minute after.
This month you took your first real vacation to Hilton Head Island to celebrate my 30th birthday. The drive normally takes about 6 hours but with two small children it took more like 8 hours. You absolutely HATE your car seat so keeping you happy during this trip was rather interesting. Lets just say that mommy rode the majority of the 8 hours in the back seat trying to entertain you and your brother. When you weren't sleeping, I was holding a paci in your mouth or feeding you! Yes we were those bad parents that fed you while driving. I know, I know, its a major No No but I made your dad drove extra slow and was super careful!
The beach itself was a short lived experience for you. The first day we were there, we packed everything up and headed down to the beach. We brought a big tent for you and I to sit under, a baby tent for you to sleep in, bottles, towels, toys, etc. You name it, we brought it. Well the first 5 minutes were great, you loved your tent and liked hearing the ocean waves but that all changed rather quickly. Next thing we knew, the tent blew away and sand was blowing in our faces and you were over it! ha! Your "beach" trip quickly turned into a pool trip. haha. Thats ok! We tried and I know in a few months you will love the beach as much as your big brother does!
Besides the actual beach portion of your trip, you loved Hilton Head! We had wonderful weather and you had lots of new scenery to take in. You were a little angel and we joked that we forgot you were there at times since you were so quiet and happy just hanging out.
You have truly been a sweet little blessing and we have had a wonderful first 3 months with our baby girl!!
