Caeden Elijah - 3 months


Given that you were born on the 31st of March, and not every month has 31 days, you are not technically 3 months until tomorrow. But tomorrow is June 1st, and you were not born on the 1st of the month. This bothers the perfectionistic side of me greatly! :)

Weight: 15 big ones!

Height: TBD

Nursing: All is well. You have sped up your eating a ton just in the last 2 weeks. It now only takes you about 10-15 minutes to nurse total, as opposed to 40! You eat at 7:00/10:00/1:00/4:00/6:45.

Waketimes: First waketime of the day is 50 minutes. The others are anywhere from 50-60 minutes. This of course includes eating, so it is a good thing that you eat faster now; you have more time to play!

Sleeping: 3- two hour naps a day. I wake you up from your 4th nap after an hour and 15 minutes so that you can be bathed and fed before bedtime at 7:00. After getting back from Orlando, you reverted to only sleeping 8 hours at night again. When you eat in the middle of the night, you do not nurse well for 'breakfast' anymore. Now a few weeks into this happening, I'm afraid you've developed a habit because you pretty much wake at 3:30 every night. Waking consistently at the same time is a tell-tale sign of a habit. We are now dealing with breaking this habit. :)

New discoveries and other notes: You can roll over tummy to back. You suck your thumb all.the.time. Your newborn hair has pretty much all fallen out except for what I call the "clown hair" near your neck. You are still extrememly sensitive to being overstimulated. Too many people or too much excitement is a recipe for disaster for you. You spend 95% of your time in the quiet upstairs of our house with just mommy or daddy and very small doses of Micaiah. I'm okay with that for now. I know you'll get there and will be able to hang out downstairs around more toddler activity and grandma and grandpa before too long. I also wanted to mention that you know exactly when it is naptime. When we walk into your room, turn off the light, and turn the sound machine on, you begin your protest. You stiffen your little body and fuss and grunt until I lay you down. As soon as I do, you peacefully go off to sleep. It's almost like all you want is your bed at that point. All this means is that you have a generally shorter "calm down" time now than you used to. It has gone from 5 minutes to about 2-3 minutes.

**Update** I forgot to add that you had your first bottle this month! You took it like a champ. You also have started talking to anyone and everyone who will listen. :)
