*blink* 3 months

At her 2 month appt. she was 13 lbs! I don't think anyone's guessing if she's getting enough to eat. =)

She recently discovered her fingers and is a big fan!

Unfortunately this also means we're saying hello again to slobber. ugh.

 She adores her playmat and has just started grabbing at the danglers.

When I lay her down on the mat, she immediately starts smiling like she's greeting old friends.

First ceiling fan experience + leopard pants = a good day.

She has taken to a day schedule beautifully. I had heard about those children that "fall into a schedule", but with Graham I had to work at it a lot! She loves her routine. After she's been awake for an hour, she's like an alarm clock that immediately lets me know it's naptime. :)

She usually wakes around 8am (usually has a morning eat around 5:30/6)

eats.

awake for one hour.

naps 9-11:30.

eats. 

awake hour and a half.

naps 1-2:30/3.

{SO thankful to have both kiddos on the same nap schedule!}

eats.

awake.

next nap is usually on the go, either in the car or in the stroller.

eats at 5:00.

naps, usually in the swing, 6-6:45.

eats around 7.

bedtime around 7:30.

and then the craziness begins. :)

She cannot seem to figure out what she wants to do between 8-11pm. She seems to want to be awake. I seem to want her to be asleep. She usually eats at 7, 9, 11. It can be very tiring!

She has done a LOT of crying during these hours. After 3 months, I thought we would have gotten past this mostly. I'm still not sure exactly what to do. But I am really weary of being up until 11:30 every night, that's for sure! Once she finally goes down for the night, she usually will sleep 6-8 hours, it's still varying some. I felt like at 7 weeks she was getting into a really good nighttime routine and then we had that long crazy sickness and she started right back at square one. So I am not sure if that's what has set her back or what, but still hoping she will soon "fall into" a good nighttime routine very soon!

 Graham likes to hold her hand. She's not as in to it. :)

yep, this is a 6 month outfit. We kind of blew right past the 3 month clothes. :-/

You're not going to share a little of that smoothie, buddy?!

belly sleeper!

 I am just cherishing this sweet baby stage so much more this time around. I think it's just so much easier that I CAN enjoy it! Or maybe it's because my girly is definitely way more cuddly & snuggly that my boy ever was. She loves her mama for sure. =) The hardest thing about having two is that I am definitely twice as sleep-deprived as having one. There is no "sleep when baby sleeps"! So I am greatly looking forward to getting a full night's sleep again, but for now, kissing those giant chubber cheeks keeps me going. =)

Happy 3 months, baby girl!
