3 Months Old!

Alexis is 3 months old! Seriously where does the time go? I can't believe that my little baby is growing so fast! I love seeing her grow and all the new things she is learning to do, she's quite the little character right now! Here are her "stats" for 3 months old! I won't be able to tell you how much she weights or how long she is, as she doesn't go back to the doctors until next month for her 4 month needles (eek I don't even want to think about them yet!).

At Three Months Old Alexis:

• Is just starting to wear size 2 diapers ... I was being frugal and making her finish wearing the size 1 diapers we had left ... poor girl was busting out of them.


• Eats about 5 - 5 1/2 ounce bottles a day which consist of both breast milk and formula.


• Is starting to sleep through the night! (yay!) She usually will go to bed any time between 9-11pm and wake up sometime in the morning between 4-7am - I know this could be a phase but I am enjoying it.


• Usually has a solid power nap in the morning, but likes her cat naps (30 mins.) in the afternoon.


• Can hold her head up fine now without any help.


• Is a drool monster! I don't know what it is, but she constantly soaks her shirts so I've started to have to keep bibs on her at all times.


• Loves to smile at you. I love going to get her out of her crib in the morning and she flashes one of her BIG smiles! Daddy usually gets big smiles too from her!


• Can hold her head up and move it from side to side when laying on her stomach or back.


• Loves to cuddle on your chest and just hang out there.


• Loves to play! She likes sitting her in exersaucer - she doesn't do much but will stare at the flashing lights for a good 20 mins.


• Is a chatty one! Her new thing also is to have long and serious talk with you. She enjoys telling stores, and sometimes scares herself with the loudness of her own voice (must get that from her father). You will find she also throws in a couple giggles and laughs here and there, which is priceless!


• Has definitely found her hands - and THUMBS! You will often see her search for that darn thumb and once she finds it, in it goes into the mouth. I also caught her the other night starring at her feet ... she must be aware that they are attached now as well haha!


• Watches Noelle move around the house while she is sitting, and is quite interested in her at the moment.
