3-Months-Old

On Monday, April 8th, Barrett turned 3-months-old! Over the past month he has really started to leave the newborn stage and become more of a "real" baby, which has been so much fun to see. Here are the highlights from month number 3:

*Height and Weight: no idea on these numbers since we didn't have a well-visit this month but he's definitely still pretty solid compared to Eli at this age!

* Clothes: 3-6 month/ 6-month sizes (all of Eli's Spring/Summer clothes are 9-month, so B will be wearing some of those too--they are a little big on him but it doesn't make sense to me to not use what we have already if we can)
Diapers: size 2

* Still nursing every 3 hours and the occasional 4-hour stretch

* He will take the occasional bottle but we are still working on this, as he has refused it off and on

* Barrett has been sleeping through the night (8/9ish-8:00 in the morning) since he turned 2-months-old. The same thing happened with Eli and I am so thankful that Barrett seems to enjoy his sleep too. I am also loving getting some sleep again. Sleep deprivation and I are NOT friends.

* Naps: his morning nap is typically the longest and he'll give me a few shorter ones the rest of the day. He is taking all of his naps in his crib now, unless we are out-and-about.

* We stopped using the hammock in his baby-tub this month and Barrett really seems to enjoy bath time much more

* He continues to be a thumb-sucker (still prefers the right one) and uses a Soothie paci here and there. His hands are frequently in his mouth a lot more these days as well.

* Barrett is becoming more and more social. He smiles, giggles, squeals, and babbles all the time and it is absolutely adorable!

* He loves to grab for things now (hair, clothes, blankets, toys) He especially enjoys pulling the musical toy on his rocker-seat and whacking at the dangling animals on his play-mat.

* Barrett also rolled from his belly to his back the week before he turned 3-months-old. He still detests tummy-time and I secretly think he's started rolling to boycott it.

* He also started scooting on his back this month. He will push-off with his legs and move off of his play-mat or blanket in no time flat!

We love our little guy and look forward to the fun month 4 will bring!





And here's our Eli at 3-months-old too!
