The Little Mister turned 3 months old on the 10th & I never officially wrote down what he was up to. Again, this information is true of when he turned 3 months, but so much has already changed since then! Maybe I can actually get his 4 month update posted near the 10th. ;) Don't hold your breath...
At 3 months old Elijah;
*Wears a size 1 diaper
*Have officially put all the newborn clothes away. Wears some 0-3mo and some 3mo clothing.
*Not sure about the weight/height, but he's definitely growing. He has no problems gaining weight now!
*Still sleeping in the Rock-n-Play by my side of the bed. I keep thinking about moving him to his crib, but I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger. He's more than likely the last baby and I just don't want him growing up so fast!
*Speaking of sleep, he is still a pretty good sleeper. Goes to bed around 8:00, up at 5 am to nurse, and back to sleep until 7 when I wake him up to get dressed so we can leave for work. No set nap schedule, but he sleeps pretty good throughout the day. Once we get him sleeping in his own room we'll work on getting a nap routine set.
*Breastfeeding has been MUCH harder this time around. My supply isn't good and it is SO hard to nurse while still being needed by a 1.5 year old & 3.5 year old. I've struggled with some guilt of not being able to breastfeed as much and/or as long as I did with the girls, but I think I've come to terms with it. I don't think we'll last much longer, but I'm hoping to make it at least through flu season.
*He nurses in the morning & before bed & gets 3 5oz bottles while at Cain's. I can usually pump enough for 2 of those bottles, but sometimes it's just 1.
*He is still so sweet, happy, & laid back. He is a momma's boy & loves his sisters just as much. He is a good boy for his daddy & loves him, too.
*He is so strong! He has complete control of his head, holds it up/moves it around. He doesn't really like tummy time unless it's on someones chest. He LOVES "standing" on your legs while you hold his hands/arms. The swing still isn't his most favorite thing and he tolerates his bouncy chair for short periods of time. He's been sitting in the Bumbo for very short periods of time & seems to really like it, so we'll start using it a bit more as he grows.
*Car rides are no longer one of his favorite things. He screams/cries the majority of the time. He will usually calm down if Sophia can give him his pacifier or talk to him/hold his hand....but she can't always be bothered to do so. ;)
I'll have to transfer some pictures over from facebook sometime, but don't have time to tonight. This boy has brought SO MUCH joy and happiness to this family and my heart is just so full!
