Turner - 3 months

September 2, 2013

3 months...I blinked and he's already 3 months!

Baby Stats:
Weight

Checked his weight on our home scale...around 13 pounds

Length
At his 2 month checkup, he was 24"

Sleep
We've reached that 7 hour mark...and even the 8 hour mark on occasion! He actually goes 9 hours between feedings @ night, but he doesn't necessarily sleep that whole time. We've had many interruptions during night it seems...like low batteries in our smoke alarms, Turner scootin' to the end of his crib and either getting stuck in the corner and waking up or moving so far down his baby motion monitor can't detect him and the alarm goes off.

Daily Routine
Now that I'm back @ work, we are trying to adjust and get in a new routine. The hard part is in the morning...trying to figure out how to get everything done and get to work at a decent time. Hopefully we will have this nailed down soon so it doesn't feel so overwhelming.

Feeding
Has a total of 7 feedings during the day and getting about 5.5 ounces at each feeding. I nurse him for his first feeding of the day and at bed time. Bottles throughout the rest of the day.

Diaper Size
Cloth diapering is going good. Our washer broke over labor day weekend, so we had to go with disposables until we got a new one...that was only a few days. Back to cloth! I really love them. One of the Sunbaby diapers had a snap come off, I emailed the company and they sent a new one...great customer service!

Clothes Size
He is officially out of newborn and almost out of many of his 0-3 month clothes. They are just not long enough for him. He has outgrown his 0-3 month sleepers.

Hair Color
Light brown color.

Eye Color
He's our lil' blue eye boy for right now!

Milestones/Likes/Dislikes
- he is grabbing things now. Pulling hair, grabbing shirts, grabbing what he can to stuff in his mouth.

- So close to rolling over, but just isn't there yet. He loves tummy time and will scoot while on his tummy to grab something.

- We have a lil' Houdini on our hands. He loves to get out of his swaddle, but his hands &/or arms keep him awake if they are out.

A/C broke one night...he to swaddle him in a cotton blanket with just a diaper. He got out of that swaddle no problem. He thinks it's so funny!!!

- you love bath time! You love starring at your rubber ducky. I always give you a massage after and you really like that also.

- you hate laying in your crib if you are awake. Once you get up, you cry for one of us to come so you don't have to lay in there.

- you've attended your first football game and it was one with your daddy coaching! You slept most of the time, but when you were awake, you were very interested!

 - stills smiling a lot. We can make you smile fairly easily. Sticking out our tongue @ you seems to always get you. You've started to mimic us and stick it out now. It's so fun!

-you love to suck on everything. Your hands, my shirt, my shoulder, my face...anything that you can get close to your mouth...you will try to suck on it. 

-you started daycare and your loving it. Makes mom feel so good that your doing so well there. You love to come home and just tell me all about your day...even if I don't understand a single thing your saying ;)

-you don't like to sit still very much. You love to have us carry you and move around. Getting you to sit still for the picture below was brutal...and then you spit up all over the chair after I took it.

Turner,
Seriously...how could like get any better! It does EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! You are the best lil' boy ever! I love you so much and can't imagine life without you in it! You are a very strong boy and it worries me what you will be like when you are older. I have a feeling you are going to always be running around, super hyper and not afraid of anything. I look forward to what you are going to learn on any given day...but I still want you to be my baby forever. Stop growing up so fast. Your smile melts my heart and your kisses make me smile! Love you so much...don't ever forget that!

Love...your mama
