3 Months!

Layla Grace, you are 3 months old today! I don’t even know where to begin, because you are seriously changing so much every day. Over the last month you have become SO much fun! You are so happy & content, and are so easy to take places now. As long as you aren’t tired or hungry you’re good to go. I am enjoying your baby days SO much.

*You are different from your brother when he was a baby in that you love your car seat and diaper changes. Oh yeah…and those rolls on your thighs too, he didn't have a single one :).
*You not only don’t take a pacifier, but you HATE the thing.
*You prefer to suck on your hands all day. I lose count each day of how many times you gag yourself. We keep wondering if you’ll be a thumb sucker, but for now you just prefer your entire hand in your mouth.
*You no longer spit up!!!!! This is such a huge answer to prayer for me! I can’t remember the last time you spit up, and whenever that was, it was in your bed after a night time feeding. It’s so nice to dress a baby without a bib! Although the excessive slobber & drooling has just started :).
*You are on a great schedule now, and have become very predictable.
*You nap in the morning for about an hour, and in the afternoon for at least 2 1/2-3 hours. You catch cat naps in between and after, and while we’re out and about.
*You love your bed, but will still nap well in the back pack, car seat, or in the arms of a lucky someone.
*You have been fighting us hard on taking a bottle. About once a week you will take a bottle with no problem, but every other time you act like we’re trying to poison you! You’ve taken one the last two days, so hopefully we’re on to something!
*You wear a size 2 diaper, and size 3 month clothes.
*You haven’t given us a big belly laugh yet, but you’re SO close! You make the sweetest noises when you’re happy, and kick your legs like crazy out of excitement.
*You love the sound of your voice, and try to copy sounds we make! You coo all day long, and it’s my favorite sound ever!
*You sleep at least 12 hours at night, waking once or twice to eat. You are wanting to go to bed earlier, and we’ve stopped trying to keep you awake until we go to bed.
*Breastfeeding has been a breeze with you, and for that I’m so thankful!
*You continue to be such a happy baby, and you’re perfectly content to ‘just be.’

We love you so much baby girl!
