Happy 3 months old to our little man!
Sweetest boy, you are now 3 months old! You have changed a lot in the last month and most importantly we have said so long to your colic!! You are a much happier baby and I love seeing those precious smiles which you do so often now. Strangers just think you are the cutest thing when they talk to you and you smile back.
You have been "talking" so much more this month too. I wish I knew what was going through that brain of yours when you talk to us.
Now that you are over your colic I can put you down in your bouncy seat or on your playmat for a little longer. You are still very much the momma's boy and prefer for me to be near you or holding you the majority of the time.
You are sleeping through the night now! Thank you son! I lay you down around 9 and you sleep till about 7 or 7:30 (sometimes 8 if I lay you down a little later in the evening). I want to push up your bed time but I am afraid if I do then you will start to wake up in the middle of the night for a feeding. I have definitely been spoiled with good sleep this month and I don't want that to change.
You are starting to develop more consistent naps throughout the day. You nap about 4 times a day (usually the last one being a catnap in my arms or on the couch before your last feeding)
You have to be bounced to sleep so thanks to the advice from Rebekah I now hold you and bounce while sitting on the yoga ball we had stored in the attic. It makes mommy's back feel so much better and it works like a charm to get you to sleep.
You still like to be swaddled but you don't stay in the swaddle for long. Hoping we can make it work for a little while longer since it helps you go to sleep.
Have I mentioned you are a BIG boy?! You are wearing size 2 diapers, I think I could even go to a size 3 soon, and you are wearing mostly size 6 months clothes. I am anxious to see how much you weigh next month at your 4 month checkup. You have to weigh at least 15 lbs. by now!
I love you so much Connor James! I could kiss your cheeks and give you snuggles all day long! You bring me so much joy.
xoxo,
Mommy
