Anorah and Buddy
Anorah with Sofie
My baby is 3 months old today! I can't believe that time has gone by so quickly. Anorah is getting very big. At her 2 moth appt she weighed 12lbs 2oz and was 22 1/2 inches long! She's gotten bigger since then. She's already outgrown most of her 3 month clothes and is mainly wearing 6 month sizes. Unfortunately for me I bought some really cute spring 6 month sized clothes, hopefully they'll still fit!
Her colic is greatly improved. We no longer have nightly screaming fits. She has moments now and then, but it is nothing like it was. We no longer have to give her gripe water everyday which is nice, it stains!
She is currently sleeping through the night. Yay! She sleeps 7-9 hours straight. I don't sleep through the night, but at least I don't have to spend an hour feeding and soothing a crying baby. We're also transitioning away from co-sleeping. We started out of desperation, and I actually started to really enjoy it. Anorah's been getting more mobile lately, scooting down in the bed and rolling into Marc and I. For safety we thought it would be a good time to transition away from it. She's done 4 nights in a row in her bassinette and it's been wonderful. She still snuggles in bed with me in the morning, so I still get my sleepy baby fix!
She rolled over from back to belly for the first time the other day. She's been trying for awhile and getting very upset about it, I'm so glad she finally made it! Although being stuck on her belly led to new frustrations, LOL! She spends lots of time cooing and "talking" to us now. She's most talkative in the mornings. She prefers sitting up to laying down and is trying to sit herself up. She sits in her bumbo seat a lot. When we eat dinner, we put her in the bumbo on the table so she can spend dinner with us. She likes being part of the action.
Her favorite toys are her FP Rainforest gear. She loves her "little friends" on the swing mobile, the mirror on her play gym, and her best friend is the swinging monkey on her bouncer. She spends lots of time cooing and talking to her monkey! She also really enjoys car rides, she is fascinated with the outside world. She continues to be very stubborn and does things her own way. It started in uteruro and continues today!
We're adjusting very well to our new family. Things have been pretty tight with the new baby and new house, especially since my maternity leave has been entirely unpaid. We made the decision that I will go back to work part time. I start back next Friday. I'm pretty excited actually, I haven't been to work in 4 1/2 months!
In other news, I'm going to be an aunt! My sister in law is pregnant and is due in July. I'm very excited for Sarah and Nick. Hopefully they'll be able to move closer so we can get to know our new niece/nephew. I also have 2 cousins that are expecting. My cousin Kristin and her husband, and my cousin Zachary and his wife, Congratulations! I can't wait for all the new babies!
