Three Months


At three months old, you are grabbing onto things more easily and sticking them in your mouth, drooling a ton, turning your head towards sounds and voices, and starting to roll onto your side. You are so close to giggling and make squeaky sounds when you are really happy and smiling. You love when mommy counts to three and lifts you in the air, and when daddy wiggles your legs and bounces your pants on you when he changes your diaper.

You love looking at faces and you stick your tongue out a lot. You are starting to imitate some sounds, and still enjoy music and reading. You are starting to play more intentionally with different toys like your soft "GG Giraffe" and musical caterpillar "worm". You are sleeping really well, usually from between 7 and 7:30 until about 2am, then again until about 6:30am. You're taking a longer morning nap, and stay awake most of the afternoon.

Mommy went back to work at the beginning of the month, and you're staying home with daddy during the day. You have a bottle around 10am when you wake up from your morning nap, then come to see mommy at school during her lunch at 12:00. You enjoy your stroller, and usually fall asleep in it as well as your carseat. On Tuesdays or Thursday mornings, Grammy K comes to play with you while daddy does some work. Grammy Nette and Pops enjoy seeing you most weekends. Grampa Dan is looking forward to giving you rides on the golf cart and his new ATV.

Milestones:

  • Moved to size 2 diapers, even though we should have probably done this last month, since you're having less blow outs now!
  • Started taking baths in your baby bath in the tub instead of the sink.
  • Switch out of size 3 month clothes and 0-3 months and you're now wearing mostly 3-6 month and 6 month size clothes.

Two Months


Milestones: 23.75" long; 13.5lbs

You had your 2 month appointment at 10 in the morning on Sept. 29th, but we got stuck in horrible traffic. Mommy was really frustrated and tried calling the clinic to tell them we would be late. She may have said some not nice things in the car. We arrived 15 minutes late, but they still let us see Dr. Pugmire. At the appointment, you got your vaccines. Two nurses did the shots at the same time--3 at once! It was so quick; they just did the shots and then put the bandaids right on there so fast. It made us sad to see you cry, but as soon as they were done, you ate and were feeling better in no time. 

At two months old, you are sleeping about 5 hours straight at night. Going to bed between 8 and 8:30 and only getting up one time to eat. You love eating, playing with your friends on your play mat, listening to music of all kinds (especially at church), and watching shadow puppets on your changing table. You like baths in the sink with your little blue duck, and reading books before bedtime. We're soaking in every moment because mommy goes back to work at the beginning of October, and you'll be staying home with daddy.
