Grow Baby Grow {Drew} - 3 Months

Drew Kathleen, we made it!!! I have literally been counting down to the 3 month mark because it is such a huge milestone to me. And we're here! {grin} I feel like in the last week or 2, Drew has really come out of that '4th trimester'. She doesn't want to be held ALL the time, is smiling and talking up a storm {and throwing in an occasional squeal, so precious} and is just becoming more and more fun! We are having lots of fun, especially since I stopped crying all the time {grin}!



Randoms from the month:
*She has taken 3 bottles!!! Just in time for Mommy and Daddy to have a date on Saturday to some friends' wedding reception.
*Her reflux is so much better. There are days she barely spits up at all. So glad we stuck with natural treatments instead of immediately going to a prescription.
*She usually wakes up once a night. She has done a handful of nights sleeping through the night. Trent didn't do that until we did CIO at 6 months so that is awesome. She had a little cough toward the end of the month which had her up twice a night for several nights. I got spoiled and don't like that!
*45 minute cat naps, they suck. Month 4 is going to be about figuring out naps! It's time I stopped holding her all the time...I'm just a little scared, ha!
*She LOVES to clasp hands and suck on them. It is so funny watching her go after them. I think if she could get her thumb in there, she'd suck it. She just still keeps her hands mostly in fists.
*She is still being swaddled in the Miracle Blanket at night (but we moved to her crib!!!) and napping mostly on me during the day. Bedtime is between 7:30 and 8:30 usually. Taking 4-5 naps/day.
*Nursing 8-10 times/day, she loves to nurse and nursing more often with less milk helps reflux too.
*We're treating thrush still...but back to Kaya's treatment (plus a few added things) we went and I can visibly see her patches disappearing. Fingers crossed we can knock it out for good soon!
*Loves to stand, just like Trent did as a baby and she's getting super close to rolling over. I'm not sure she realizes what she's doing because it's usually during a game of 'eat my fist' that she ends up on her side teetering on tipping over...we'll see if she figures it out and if it scares the bejesus out of her!
*Still hates the carseat but falls asleep about half the time which is nice.
*Neck is so strong which is great...unless I am trying to get that head to rest on my shoulder for a nap.
*Not laughing yet although on 3/21 said 'heh-heh'. Does that count?
*Size 0-3 months in clothes (about to be ready to go up though) and size 1 in disposables (size 2 at bedtime). Still leaking in cloth unless I get them TIGHT.
*Nicknames: Girlfriend, Sister, Pumpkin, Sweet Pea, Sugar Plum/Bean...too many!
*Firsts:
-First Easter {March 31}
-First time in the jumper {March 30}

I've never called her any of those names, did you just make that up? - B
