Lainey: 3 Months

Oh my! This is a summary of Lainey from month 2-3 and wow, we had some changes!

Lainey's 3 month stats (at home guesses):

Height: 23"
Weight: 12.5 lbs

At 3 months Lainey is:

• In 0-3 month clothes (finally!)
• In size 1 diapers (still)
• Eating 5-6oz at 7, 10:30, 2, 5, 8 (combo 3-3.5 hour schedule... this happened around 12 weeks)
• We tackled CIO full on this month at around the 9-10 week mark... it was a rough couple of days but after a weekend (friday and saturday mostly) of a good bit of crying at naps, she started going down for naps great and making it till the next waketime/bottle!
• We also went ahead and started CIO at night around 9 weeks. This was super hard but we KNEW she wasnt needing to eat because she would literally see my face and stop crying and start smiling. Booger! So after we had naps going well, we set up a box fan in the hallway and supported each other as we had to listen to some crying for about 2 nights. It broke my heart. But after 3 nights there has been NO MORE middle of the night wakings and we are all sleeping GREAT! :-)
• On 3mL of prilosec twice a day for reflux
• Still seeing the chiropractor and maintaining adjustments well!
• Smiling Tons and...
• LAUGHING!!! Her first laugh was on Nov 8th at just shy of 3 months old! It was the sweetest thing! Lainey is a very quiet baby and doesnt really "jabber" much and so waiting SO long for her first laugh was killing me! And literally it was the quietest little laugh! It cracked me up!
• COOING! Lainey started cooing at 10 weeks and it is so so precious! And quiet :-) I remember with Rhyan and Mack that when they started cooing we literally couldnt hear ppl if we were talking on the phone because they were both SO loud! But Lainey is such an observer!
• ROLLING OVER! Lainey Rolled over for the first time on her 10 week bday! (There were lots of firsts in her 10th week... she had just come out of a wonder week leap in development and you can always tell when its over because they start showing their newly acquired skills!)
• Still taking the homemade goat milk formula
• Still on a size 1 nipple and mam bottle
• Still swaddled for naps and nighttime using the miracle blanket

"who is this monkey in my chair?!"

EEK! I'm THREE months old!!!

Rhyan and Mack have adjusted SO well and so easily to having Lainey as a part of our family and we are tremendously blessed to be a family of 5 :-)
