3 Months Old

She still sleeps in the bassinet in our room, and she still likes to be swaddled.

She doesn’t eat on a super consistent schedule.  She’ll go a little longer at times, and then cluster eat for a few feedings in a row.  She’s on a loose schedule of sleep, eat, awake time rotation though.

She consistently wakes up twice a night to eat now.  I’m not sure why she slept better at a month old, but it’s still not too bad.  She goes right back to sleep most times after eating, usually waking sometime between 1-2 and 4-5.  She is up in the morning around 7.

She can grasp and hold on to things now.  She will hold onto blankets or toys that are set on top of her, and of course, she loves to pull them into her mouth.  She often knocks her binky out of her mouth, but sometimes can even push it back in as it’s coming out.

She loves her bouncy seat with the hanging, swinging toys. She reaches and swats at the turtle and the snail and loves to watch them swing.  She seems so proud to be able to get them to move. 

She sometimes loves her swing and will watch the toys in the mobile move around above her, and even fall asleep for long naps.  Then other times she is done with the swing within a few minutes.  I can’t count on it to keep her happy, but sometimes it is an amazing entertainment for her.

She still loves to be held!  I have a hard time completing projects or keeping up with the house because she is only content on her own for a short time.  I love to hold her, and it’s hard to let her cry when she is immediately happy when you pick her up.  She’s also happy to look at happy faces and happy voices talking to her.

She is growing and changing quickly.  It’s hard to believe she is three months old.  She is getting chubby and round, and her perfect cheeks rest on her chest.  We love and adore her so much.  It’s hard to imagine our family without her in it!

 Love this baby girl of mine!

 Me with my oldest baby and my youngest!

 Crazy hair day!  Emilyn wanted all different ponytails, braids, buns, etc. with different flowers and clips in each.  Matisyn wanted about sixteen different unattainable hair dues that she created in her head.  She finally decided to compromise on something possible!  She did most of it herself, and it turned out so cute.  She covered her whole head in clips and flowers, and wrapped her ponytail so it would stick out. Just when I thought it was finished, she added a balloon.  Wow, these girls had some crazy hair!

 Our Kaylee baby is 3 months old!

 Lucas has loved the apple peeler lately.  He keeps saying he wants another apple just so he can spin the peeler!  I love that he needs his work goggles for yet another project!

 That's a sad face.  He definitely is forming some opinions and does not like to be told no!

 He got these toy guns and holsters from Owen for his birthday.  He has loved playing with them!

 I can't remember what they are cheering about, but they sure are cute!

 I love that Kaylee is starting to be interested in toys and grabbing and feeling for the things around her.

Emilyn's self evaluation from 1st grade.  She is loving school this year, and says she never wants to leave 1st grade or her teacher ever!
