Jillian: {Three Months}

Jillian –

You are three months old today! Welcome to infancy my darling. You are no longer considered a newborn :)

According to our measurements at home, and a special weighing appointment at the doctor’s office this past Friday, you are 10 lbs, 10 oz and 23 inches long.

I packed up all of your newborn size clothes as of last week. It was a little sad for me, but you were ready. Depending on the brand, some 0-3 Month and 3 Month clothing can either be too big or just about the right size. You usually let us know when something’s too small by being fussy while we change you. You wear size 1 diapers.

As far as feedings go, we have you at 4 feedings a day and eat between 24 – 27 ounces total for the day. Your low day seems to be Friday, which is interesting to us. You are exclusively on Similac Advance formula. You have become a great burper! Sometimes we just have to sit you upright and you do it for us.

You are still taking Zantac twice a day for your reflux. I can usually tell when you’re having some reflux. You will cough a little and swallow a bit while the area around your eyes get a little red. You may be a little bothered, but you recover fairly quickly.

Bath time is so much fun for you! We actually bathe you every other night, but we’ll do a bubble bath the other nights. You’re really enjoying splashing and stretching your legs as far as they will go.

You are still such a sweet baby. You met lots of family members during your first trip to Tulsa recently and they ALL commented about how wonderful you are. You smiled for them and did really well. Even when you were getting tired, you acted like a sweetie.

Later this week, we will be traveling up to Minnesota to see your Jemma and G-Chaz! It will be quite a trip, but I'm pretty confident you'll be great. You may even get to meet your great-grandmother on my side of the family!

You are REALLY close to rolling over! We’re just waiting as patiently as we can ;) You have laughed a few times and we just love it!!

The Bumbo seat was not a favorite of yours the first few times, but you enjoy it now! You like to sit up and look all around. You also still love watching the ceiling fan when it’s turned on. You’re a very curious baby.

Sleep is great! You sleep between 7 ½ and 10 hours at night. We definitely lucked out with that. Of course, it was nothing we did. Thank you for loving sleep baby girl! As far as naps go, you catnap throughout the day, but nothing set in stone.

As of last week, you love to play peek-a-boo, but only if you’re in the mood. You let us know if you’re tired of playing by staring at us like we’re nuts.

Tummy time is not a favorite of yours. You might move a little, but you mostly cry or fall asleep. You can lift your head if we lay you across our chest, but you don’t enjoy doing it on the floor.

Your daddy and I love watching you grow and look forward to what the next month will bring :)

Here are a few outtakes:

For fun, here is a comparison for her first 3 months:

These are from yesterday after church. We dressed her up in her runner-up Easter dress and tried out her Easter hairbow. She looked so cute! I wanted to post these yesterday, but I thought 3 posts in one day was a little excessive :)
