Back to work. Little love is 3 months old





Weight: Between 11 and 12 pounds.

 Length:  Not sure

 Moods:  A bit fussy with mommy being back to work.  My first shift was a night shift...the first time any one else had put her to bed!  But we're making it work.  Today she was radiant with smiles - we love those gummy grins!

 Favorite foods:  Milk!  Hoping breastfeeding continues to go well as I get back to work.

 Favorite toy:  She's starting to hold the octopus on her activity mat, and I catch them in staring contests sometimes. :-)

 Favorite hobby:  Chewing on her hands - even if she just ate, she's chewing!

 Playtime:  On the mat or in someone's lap.  She's pretty good at tummy time and doesn't fuss!

 Sleep:  No pattern, it seems.  I thought we were down to once per night, but now it seems to range from 1-3 wakings per night.  Bedtime and wakeup time are consistent (7pm, 6:30am), and there's usually a 2-3 hour afternoon nap.

 Milestones:
Social - Great little smiles.  No laughs yet.  Very observant.
Language - Cooing lots more.
Gross motor  - She's always had good head control, and is getting even better.  Starting to bring things up to her face (fistfuls of blanket, mostly).
Fine motor - Can hold rings or small toys for a few seconds.

Pulling the blocks down Eating the blocks Weight: 17 pounds Moods:  Happy except for meal time....lots of grunting and growling that is hard to interpret (Are you done?  Wanting more?  Wanting to feed yourself???) Favorite Foods:  She loves to feed herself and is doing well with her pincer grasp.  She has tried chicken, hamburger, and ham.  Likes yogurt and cheese.  She loves crackers and Cheerios.  Any berries or soft fruit are a hit.  Also loves roasted sweet potatoes. Teeth:  None yet!  Our latest teether for sure... Favorite toys:  Things with buttons, her farm set. Favorite hobby:  Trying to crawl up the one stair from the carpet to the hardwood; trying to pull up on things. Playtime:  Floor time to practice her mobility.....but now that she's crawling, you've got to watch her like a hawk! Sleep:  Two naps per day (about 2 hours each).  Goes down easy at night and has been...

Favorite foods:  She is slowing down as far as amount eaten, but still eats everything.  Teeth:  Only 4!  Two central incisors on bottom, and two LEFT upper incisors - they aren't aligned and it's so funny. :-)  See top picture above. Favorite toy:  She really likes her walker, and her new jack-in-the-box from Auntie Krista. Favorite hobby:  Pulling all of the toys out of the toy box, and gunning for the stairs if someone leaves the gate open.

Weight: 9 lbs, 9 oz (14th percentile) Length: 22" (36th percentile) Moods: She's most happy in the morning.  If we don't get a good morning nap, she tends to be fussy unless held. Favorite foods: Milk! Favorite toy: She likes her activity mat, and will hold the octopus sometimes. Favorite hobby: Defying mommy and daddy with short naps. Playtime: Morning mat time.  Baths are always a hit! Sleep: Around 6 weeks, she began eating at about 2 and 5am.  Around 8 weeks, she cut back to around 3-4 am, then up for the day around 6:30/7.  She's been a bit off since traveling this weekend....but hopefully we get that pattern back!  She has one long mid-day nap, but other naps are irregular.  Milestones: Smiles!  A rare 'coo', which we love to hear.  Good head control. She was born on her great-grandpa Ray's birthday, and turned two months on her great-grandpa Paul's birthday.  My loves     ...
