Three Months Old

Jensen at THREE Months

Weight: 14 lbs (according to my scientific way of standing on the scale holding you, no checkup this month)
Height: not sure, but you are definitely more ROUND than you are tall...my little bowling ball :)

Clothing Size: 6-9 months (Yes, you read that right. All that round belly has to go somewhere. I packed away your 3 month clothes this week. Break your mama's heart...)
Diaper: Size 2
Shoe Size: 1 (I don't put you in shoes often but you have a cute pair of blue "Sperry" type baby shoes that fit you well)

Accomplishments: rolling from your tummy to your back (only 4 times so far), pushing down on your feet to stand up when we hold you, sleeping in your crib (instead of your swing), holding your head up like a champ, having sweet baby conversations with Mama, Daddy, and Eva.

Sleep Schedule: you are finally settling into 4-5 actual naps a day (instead of just dozing off whenever) - it kind of depends on whether you wake up on your own or are woken up to go somewhere or because Eva is a loud person.... I put you to bed around 8PM, you usually wake up after an hour or so, then go back to bed around 10:30 PM, you wake up some time between 5 AM and 7 AM to eat then go back to sleep again until about 8:30AM.

Feeding Schedule: you are FINALLY going longer stretches. Usually 2-2 1/2 hours between feedings, sometimes more like 3 hours. For you that is a big improvement and has helped you take better naps.

 This month you have discovered your hands and love to chew on them. You still don't care for a pacifier, you prefer to chew on your hand. You like to be worn in my sling carrier and will usually fall asleep on me. You also love to kick and wiggle your hands. You like to sit up in your Bumbo or to wiggle around your playmat. You haven't intentionally reached for toys yet but I think you are getting closer to that. You will do tummy time for short periods of time and then you get grumpy. Your personality seems so even natured...you are okay having your sister be crazy in your face or okay being on your own playing for a few minutes while I take care of things. You spit up a lot, maybe you need to regulate how much milk you think you need :) You cry like an old man when you are hungry but other than that are pretty relaxed. You were sick with a cold for the first time last week. It was so sad to see your little face looking sick and pitiful. You are still the best napping buddy and I love to snuggle in bed with you, especially early in the mornings. I wish I could just be still and hold you all day long, I already miss you being my tiny newborn.

And just for fun - a comparison of Jensen and Eva, both at 3 months. I see some similarities but they also have their own features and for sure their own personalities!
