3 Months

I can't believe my sweet baby girl is already three months old. Time has definitely flown, and I'm guessing it's only going to seem faster once I go back to work. Here's a glimpse of what life looks like at 3 months:

Eating: Kylie is exclusively breastfed, but has been quite particular about how she wants to nurse. One day this month she decided to make it easier on mom, and it has been going better since. She had spread out how often she wanted to eat to every 3-5 hours. However we took her back to the doctor for a three-month weight check and in true peanut fashion, she gained just 9 ounces in the past month. She is now 9 pounds, 11 ounces which is in the first percentile. So now, per doctor's orders, it is back to eating every 2-3 hours. Gotta get some weight on that girl!

Sleeping: This month brought about some big changes. Kylie had been sleeping in our bedroom since we brought her home from the hospital, first in a rock 'n play sleeper and most recently in a bassinet. We decided it would be good to have her in her own room before I returned to work, so at 11 weeks old we moved the bassinet into the nursery. She slept there for about a week & a half and then after Christmas made the absolutely seamless transition to her crib. We typically lay her down for bed about 8:30 at night and she is able to put herself to sleep. She wakes up to eat around 4 am and goes back to sleep until 8 in the morning. No complaints there! She is a good napper too, typically snoozing 3-4 times a day including 2-3 hours in the morning.

Playing: Kylie still loves hanging out in her swing, but has also become quite content playing on the floor during her awake time each day. She kicks, babbles, has started to hang on to a few toys, and chews on her hand. And no matter where you lay her she will strain her neck to try and watch tv. It is amazing how relaxed she gets when we read books before bed each night.

My hand tastes so good!
