Three months have come and gone! Here are some milestones this month!
- You stayed in the church nursery for the first time, I was paged before we finished serving in our preschool class because you were hungry!
- Went to NC to meet your Aunt Allie, Great Grandparents, Great Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and friends. You were an angel on the flight, both going and coming home.
- You are still eating every 3 hours, sometimes a little longer and sleep almost all night, most nights!
- While in NC you decided you did NOT want a bottle, while Mama and Daddy were on their first night out, later we found out that you want it really hot! You still aren't crazy about it, but you will take it if you get hungry enough!
- Spit up is still a huge issue, you are gaining weight but spit up a lot and I am experimenting with cutting out caffeine and dairy to see if either of those help!
- You sat in the Mamas and Papas chair and loved it! You like sitting up where you can see what is going on around you
- You have started "talking" and will talk when we talk to you
- We got your ears pierced (3/22/14) you only cried for a second, mainly because I had to hold your head still.
- You are still sleeping in your Rock N Play sleeper at night, in our room. I am having a hard time moving you to your crib/room!
- You love to suck on your hands, and I am pretty sure if you can find your thumb you will be a thumb sucker!
You are still in size 1 disposable diapers, although mostly we are in cloth on the smallest rise snap. You are wearing all 0-3 month clothes. Your eyes are still blue and your hair is getting lighter, almost a light brown and filling in on the top!
We go next month for official stats, so I am unsure of your weight!
Ruby,
I wish I could remember every moment with you forever, I never want to forget how it feels to cuddle and nurture you at this stage! You are so sweet, smiley, gentle and calm - you are our precious baby girl!
Love,
Mama and Daddy
Was searching for my GF's blog and came to your interesting one. Saw your post about having your daughters ears pierced at three months. I think you're a smart and thoughtful mommy for doing her at this age. We did our daughter at 1 month.
ReplyDeleteSome say to wait at this age to pierce their ears, but our ped encouraged me to do it when mom could care for them. She gave me some " Tips for moms having their dd's ears pierced and " Care for Newly Pierced Ears" since she had so many moms ask about having their infants and little girls ears pierced.
I know cerebrally, as mothers of girls of all ages, we know it celebrates their femaleness and femininity. After all, they are little girls, right?
Promise she will thank you later for the "gift of pierced ears" as infants. If any other moms would like any of our ped’s tips for piercing, then don’t hesitate to write me an e-mail. They include OTC meds to minimize any discomfort as well as how to find the most experienced person to pierce her ears.
