3 Month Update!

Emma went to her three month checkup today. Time sure is flying by! I forgot to write down her height but her weight was 13lbs and 6oz. She is in the 75%. This month there are definitely lots of changes in her and I'm so excited to share her milestones!

Eating:
Nothing really changed with her eating schedule. We are still nursing every 2-3 hrs. She is definitely a great eater so I'm really happy about that! I still love nursing her and love the bonding time we have together during it.

Sleeping:
We have been putting her down to sleep at around 9-9:30 at night, but she usually doesn't fall asleep until 11 or 12pm, after her last feeding of the day. She still wakes up 1-2 times to nurse at night depending on when she falls asleep. If she sleeps at 10pm she would wake up at around 1-2am, again at 5-6am, then she would go back to sleep until around 9-10am (wake up time for the day). But if she sleeps at 12am she would wake up around 4-5am, go back asleep until 9-10am.

She has been sleeping longer intervals at night (4-5hrs) and has been taking 3 shorter naps during the day (40min to an hr). Im definitely happy about those two things, but one of the bigger changes this month is Emma sleeping in her crib! I actually loved co-sleeping with her and thought I would be doing it until she was about 5 months or so, but sometime in the middle of the month I decided to try having her sleep in her crib. As much as I love sleeping next to her, I knew if she slept in her crib, both my husband and I will get deeper and better sleep. I guess because she is still young her transition was not as hard. It doesn't seem like she really cares to sleep with us! She usually just soothes herself to sleep with the pacifier or after nursing.

Misc.:
This month she has been cooing, smiling and laughing so much more. It makes my heart melt every time. She has been sucking on her hand much more frequently and she has been starting to enjoy her toys. She even started to reach and try to grab her swing toys! But her favorite thing this month has been her crib mobile. She can stare at it and babble to it for along time. Instead of helping the baby fall asleep it keeps her up! Ha ha.

Other new things is she has been able to sit on the bumbo! She loves sitting up now. We would sit her on the bumbo and she would just watch us eat dinner :).

Generally she has been much more alert and her facial expressions has matured tremendously.

I hope I'm not missing anything! So much has changed this month I really look forward to her next month though its so bittersweet watching her grow up so fast. :(

Bumbo!

Loving her new car seat toys

Tummy time on her boppy :)
