3 Months

Our baby girl is three months old!  Caitlin didn’t have a doctor’s appointment this month, so I don’t have any updated stats, but that also means…no shots!  Caitlin is changing everyday.  She is starting to sleep longer during the night and we are able to put her down without rocking her to sleep.  Caitlin and I are also working on the 3-hour schedule during the day.  She doesn’t like to nap all the time, but usually gets about one good (1-1.5 hours) nap in a day.  The others are just shorter.  Caitlin loves her hands and loves to put them in her mouth all the time.  She is getting more coordinated and can put toys in her mouth too.  With the pacifier, she can pull it out, but hasn’t mastered the art of putting it back in her mouth. 

Caitlin has also started to talk!  Smartest baby ever!  Ok…they aren’t real words, but she is doing the baby babble.  Her favorite times to “talk” are first thing in the morning and just before it’s time for bed.  She is figuring things out to…like how to get mom to pick her up when she wants to be held.  She does a little cough and waits to see if I will scoop her up.  If I don’t, she does another one.  Sneaky girl! 

Her nicknames (mostly given by me) include poodle, chick-pea and sugar booger.  Caitlin is starting to follow things with her eyes, without moving her head.  She doesn’t really like tummy time, but we are practicing.  She is learning to tuck her legs under her and kick them out.  She hasn’t learned to prop herself up on her arms, but she is holding her head up really well.  She loves to stand (with support of course) and watch sports with daddy.  One of my favorite time with her are naps together.

Yes Caitlin…do you have a question?

Happy 3-month birthday baby girl!
