Charlotte is 3 months old!!! I can't believe how quickly she's growing. She is so full of smiles, and loves to babble with us! She didn't have a well baby visit this month, so I'm not sure how much she weighs, but judging by her little rolls, she is doing just fine. During the day, she still nurses every 3 hours. During the night, she sleeps 10-12 hours... it is wonderful! She is wearing size 2 diapers, and is between 0-3 and 3-6 months clothing... depends on the brand. She did very well with the immunizations that carried over from her 2 month appointment. She fussed a little throughout the afternoon, but was fine the next day. She just wanted to sleep on my chest, and I was happy to oblige! She had her first stuffy nose this month, and we learned that she absolutely cannot stand the saline spray/bulb syringe combo. As soon as we use the spray, she "silent cries"... her face turns bright red, and you can tell she's trying to cry, but she is so upset that she can't muster even a whimper. It's so sad!!!
She is our little Squirmy Wormy! She loves to "stand" when we hold her, and pushes off each chance she gets. I can't wait for her to be old enough for her bouncer! She loves to coo, especially when she listens to music. We have WAY too many videos of Michael and I "talking" with her. We should probably be embarrassed by them, but she is just too cute! Her favorite place in the house is her changing pad. I'm not sure why, but if you want a smile, just change her diaper! She loves for us to brush her hair, and she gets so excited for bath time with Daddy. She doesn't like to be held in a cradle position unless you're feeding her, and she gets VERY impatient when you stop to burp her. She likes to sit propped up inside her Boppy pillow, especially if she has rattles on her wrists. She rolled over from tummy to back at 10 weeks, but seems to have decided that since she's already mastered the skill, she doesn't need to do it anymore! She likes to grab her toys, loves to show off her mini-push up during tummy time, and likes to kick kick kick when she gets excited! She is happy to let you rub her tummy, is very curious about mirrors, and can put her favorite rattle in her mouth. She started the month napping in her crib but still sleeping in our room at night. She is now sleeping in her crib full-time, and loves it. She is constantly hiccuping, could win an Olympic gold medal in "Spitting Up", and has rubbed a funny line of hair off the back of her head. She is our little Houdini, and keeps working her way out of even the tightest swaddle. She still LOVES her hands!
Here are a few pics from this month:
