3 months old

Size: Based on our scales at home, you are somewhere around 12 pounds, you have definitely hit your 3 month growth spurt and are growing like crazy!!  You are still in size 1 diapers, which are actually starting to get a little snug and this is bad because we have lots of this size haha.  You are now in mainly all 3 month clothes, and honestly I don't think you will be in these very long because you are growing so fast! 
Developments: Nana and Granddad still call you a "mess". You have gotten to be such a good, predictable baby now and that makes for a happy baby, and in turn, a happy mommy and daddy.  You are definitely sleeping through the night now and will go to bed anytime between 8:00-9:00, and you will sleep until about 6:00 or 6:30 to eat, play a few minutes and go back to bed for another 2 or so hours around 7:30.  You still can be laid sleepy, but awake, in your rocker and will fall asleep on your own staring at your gloworm.  Your schedule has been mastered by you, and your mommy and daddy now! Wake at 6:45 to eat, go back to sleep around 7:30 until about 10:00, eat again, play an hour, back to nap around 11:30, eat again around 12:30-1:00, sleep again around 1:30-2:00, eat again around 3:00-3:30, then down for a 2 hour nap around 3:45 or so.  Mommy usually has to wake you up around 5:45 after I get home from work.  You are smiling like crazy and I know you will be laughing anyday now.  You are getting better about tummy time, but you still don't really like it.  You still get very fussy during Jeopardy(around 7:30 each night), but this is just you telling us it's time for you to get a bath, get your bottle, and GET to bed before we have a breakdown!!!! 
Eating: You are growing like a weed!!! Mommy couldn't quite keep up anymore after your 3 month growth spurt hit, so you now get 6 bottles a day, 2 formula, 4 breastmilk, cereal in the morning and night bottles, and you are now drinking 5 ounces each time, WOAH.  
Likes: Vibrating seat, mobile in crib, activity mat, being swaddled, having your butt pat, your paci, bathtime, mommy and daddy playing with you, sleeping in the car, your buddy Colt, looking in the mirror, laying on your changing table with us talking to you(this is when we get the most smiles), you love Mickey Mouse and Jake and the Neverland pirates on Disney.

Dislikes: Being hungry, sleepy, being put in your carseat, cold baby wipes.
It has been a huge adjustment with mommy going back to work and Daddy staying home with you, and yet another adjustment with your auntie starting to keep you starting this Thursday. I'm so glad to know we will be leaving you with someone who loves you, but I still miss you terribly every day :(. We love you so much you cannot even imagine and can't believe how fast you are growing!!!
