Three Months

3 Months

• Well this last month has been great for you, but a bit of a challenge for me. We are still going dairy free. You are not fussy (though you never were) and you are sleeping amazing, but you still have bloody diapers. Your dad keeps telling me to wait longer, but he is the one the doesn't have to read every label and skip 99% of desserts. I have known a lot of substitutes, but still it is not the same. 
• Let's talk about this amazing sleeping. The week I stopped dairy, you started going to bed around 7:30-8:00pm, sleeping until 5-6 am, feed for 20 minutes, and then sleep until 9am. It is so lovely. I can get all ready for the day before you even wake up so that way when you wake up, we are ready to play.
• Your smiling has come out a lot more. I love seeing your dimples. You are just so beautiful when you smile, I have to tell you that at least 30 times a day. Your laugh is even coming through a bit, just a little, "hee-hee". Your dad can get you to laugh by saying, "P.U. sticky feet."
• The bottle is not your favorite. I don't get it, we give you a bottle once a day and you still are not loving it. If I sing you "A Child's Prayer" and have pumped milk in there, then you do okay. But heaven help us with formula. I have tired three times giving you the dairy free formula and you scream bloody murder. What is worse is that you remember that bad experience with the bottle so it takes you a couple of days to warm back up to using the bottle. My supply is doing great now, but I always worry about the future.
• If I leave you alone on your back, you have figured out how to push off your feet and scout along on your back. You are our first child that seems to want to move-though you despise tummy time as much as the others.
• Your all time favorite thing is your bouncer. You are so good at grabbing the hanging toys already. Pretty much anything that you can grab, you will grab it and hold on for dear life. I will lay you on the grass, and it is the same story. I took off the car seat cover so you can play with the hanging toys, and you are so content in the car-though you end up staying up when you should be sleeping.
• I just love you so much, and I am so happy that you are part of our family.
