3 months old

3 months! I can't believe it. I think I said the same thing about 2 months and I am pretty sure I will continue saying it for the rest of her life! She is growing up so fast! Here is what Ashlyn is doing at 3 months old...

She weighs 10 lbs!!! She wears newborn and 0-3 month clothing and size 1 diapers. She eats 6-7 times a day and we have been switching between bottles and breast feeding trying to find what makes her tummy happy! She still naps several times a day and usually sleeps on her tummy during her naps. She doesn't sleep that well on her back, but is doing better at night. She naps in her pack & play or in her crib (or sometimes on top of me if her tummy is upset). She still sleeps in her bassinet next to our bed at night, but that is going to change soon. She goes anywhere from 2-8 hours at night in between feedings and usually gets up at 9 am. She likes to be swaddled at night, although she fights it a little at first. She is very alert during her wake times and has quite a personality. She still likes her tummy time and we have been working on rolling over...she rolled over once, but I think that was because she was stretching and moved just right! She hasn't done it again without my help. Her neck muscles are getting much stronger and she can hold her head up. She loves to look at mouths and she tries to mimic movements with her mouth. She smiles and laughs and coo's a lot! She likes her baths and usually takes one a day...sometimes 2 a day if she has a blow out!! She loves being in the car and does very well in noisy, social environments. She is an easy traveler, but requires lots of packing! She still takes medicine for her birthmark and her reflux. Other things Ashlyn loves...her daddy's singing, her pacifier, her baby lounger that plays "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands", her sound machine that displays images on the ceiling at night, stretching, cuddling and smiling at her mom! She is a very happy baby...unless she gets hungry, then she will let you know! She is a true blessing. Here are some pictures of her at 3 months!
