Leave it to the Weavers: Three Months

Emory is three months old!!!

I can't believe how big you've gotten! I can't tell you how many times a week I hear "She looks just like her Daddy!" But I'm ok with it, your Daddy is a pretty handsome guy ;)

We've had a busy month little girl!

I started back to work on March 11th. This was a sad, sad day for Mama. I dreaded this day from the time I got home from the hospital. I love my job but I love being home with you more! It worked out great though. I went back to work the week your Daddy was off for Spring Break so he got to keep you the first week I was away from you which made the transition a lot easier. And I know he enjoyed having you all to himself that week! We decided to do a "practice day" at daycare the Friday before your first full week. We wanted to make sure we knew how long it would take us to get out of the door in the morning and the estimated drive/drop off time. So your first day of daycare was Friday, March 15th (you were 9 weeks old). Mama was SO nervous but you did great! We love your daycare and all the ladies in your room are so sweet with you. The first few weeks were an adjustment for you, I think you were pretty fussy but you quickly got on their schedule and it has made you a better baby at home! You will now nap without Mama having to hold you which is so nice!

You had your first sick doctor visit this month, too. You were really congested and started coughing a lot so we went ahead and took you in. I'm glad we did because you had a double ear infection :(. Since we went to the doctor we got more stats (10 weeks old):

Weight: 13 lbs 10 oz (95th percentile)

Length: 24 inches (95th percentile)

We have a little butterball on our hands!

After 10 days of the antibiotic you still had a little cough so I took you back to the doctor just to make sure your ears had cleared up and thankfully they had. You enjoyed cheesing at everyone in the doctor's office!

Eating: You're still on Alimentum and it has continued to work well for you. You're taking 5 oz every 3-4 hours, anywhere from 25-30 ounces per day! Little piglet!

Sleep: We finally got our video monitor in and you started sleeping in your crib! You were 11 weeks old! You slept the whole night and wiggled all over your bed. We're still doing our bedtime routine (bath, lotion, bottle, swaddle, bed) and usually have you down by 9:30 p.m and we have to wake you up in the mornings around 6:15 a.m. If we could cut out your last bottle we could have you down by 8:00 p.m. but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet!

Sizes: You're still in size 2 diapers but we had to start getting you nighttime diapers because you were waking up with wet pajamas every morning! A lot of your 3 month clothing is getting a little snug. Your 3 month footed pajamas are almost too short- I have to stretch the feet out because your little toes are squished at the ends. There's not a lot of 3-6 month clothing but it definitely fits best.

Play: You're still loving your mirror on your play gym! And you kick your little legs so fast! You have started to grab at some of the toys that dangle above too. You smile all. the. time! Every time I look at you, you'll get the biggest grin on your face. I MELT. You definitely recognize Mama and Daddy! We love waking you up in the mornings because you're so happy but you quickly realize your belly is empty and let us know it's time to eat! Tummy time is still a no go-- you hate it. I've started putting you on your belly propped up on your boppy and you seem to tolerate that a little better. You're holding your head up like a champ. You also like to watch Baby Einstein. Meme got you some DVDs before you were born and you love them!
