Scarlett: Three Months

THREE MONTHS

THE STATS:

Age: 3 months

Diaper size: 1

Clothing: 0-3 months, just switching over to 3-6 month

DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY:

S has been working on building up her neck, arm, and back muscles during her tummy time workouts on and off throughout the day. She likes to have her head popped up off our shoulders when she is being held so that she can look around and see the world...at.all.times...and thus has pretty good head control. She has been super slobbery this month, and likes to have her fingers in her mouth just about any chance she gets. S has also started to coo and giggle this month.

SCHEDULE:

Our little princess pretty much rules the roost around here, and hasn't really found her groove as far as any sort of schedule goes during the day sleeping wise. She typically gets up about 7:30 a.m., eats around 8-8:15 a.m., plays on her mat for a bit while I clean up breakfast and get ready for the day, tags along...and maybe catches a catnap while in her car seat on whatever our morning adventure might be (park, library, groceries, etc), eats every 2-3 hours throughout the day, sometimes naps in the afternoon, and is ready to get pjs by 7:30, often completely settled in bed for the night after nursing around 8-8:30pm. I have been working to try and get her to sleep flat on her back in her bassinet during her afternoon naps, and it probably works maybe 50% of the time. Goal for the next month is to transition her completely out of the Rock'N'Play for bedtime sleeping, but as she's been such a good sleeper so far, I'm very hesitant to mess with 'the dream'.

FAVORITE TOY:

S continues to enjoy her playmat nearly every day. I've also got a couple of dangling toys that she is starting to reach for.

STORYTIME:

Nothing really to report here. S tags along for story time with her big brothers, and will 'listen' if I am reading, but she's not much of an active 'reader' yet ;)

CUISINE:

S continues to be almost exclusively fed by yours truly. She has accepted that formula is not as bad as she once thought, and will now take a couple of ounces without putting up a fight. (Freedom is within reach!) I've been giving her 1-2 bottles a week of approximately 2.5-3 oz of formula.
