Tell me this is not the cutest baby you’ve ever seen….or don’t. I actually would prefer you didn’t because I wouldn’t believe you anyway. ;)
Lizzie girl is over 15 weeks now, or just about 3.5 months. She still sleeps 13-14 hours at night with a feeding between 9:30 and 10 {I wake her} and around 4 am {when she wakes up on her own}. She usually goes to bed between 6 and 6:30 and then is up between 7:45 and 9. From there she is up for just over an hour, maybe an hour and a half and takes a 45-minute nap. Then, she is up 1 1/2 hours- 2 hours and takes a 45-minute to several hour nap- always a mystery. Then, she’s up about the same time and takes a 3rd 45-minute nap sometime b/w 4 and 5, which sets her up for bed time in the sixes somewhere. She seems to be like Rebekah and get most of her sleep at night…it will be interesting to see if that changes as she gets older. As I told my friend, Christy, today, I am just happy for a decent night of sleep and a very happy baby. She is awesome. :)
You may recall from 2 weeks ago that Lizzie weighed in rather low and at the 9th %tile. This was discouraging to me as i felt everything was going swimmingly. After a couple convos with health people, I felt better, but still was a bit worried. Thus, I went back today to see if things improved. Lizzie had gained close to a pound in 2 weeks, which was what took her a month last time- I am happy! She is still between the 9th and 25th %tile, but it is improvement that does not require formula top-ups, which I am not keen to do {how British did I just sound?! It’s like I’m from here…right, Kate?}. I included some {appropriate} pics of her sweet little self so you can see that she is perfectly proportioned. {BTW, I always put the wash cloth there to keep her tummy warm…not to be overly modest with a 3-month old…it is the internet, though, so I guess you can’t be too careful.}
) for various school reasons, so they have been great company for me! As for Rebekah, she is an avid writer and crafter still! Her new love is bird watching, which is fairly limited in that we get crows and seagulls in our back garden. I am feeling like I should put up a bird feeder to entice more birds to stop by and spice things up a bit for Rebekah.
She is also loving drawing and incorporating stickers (and whatever else she can get her hands on!). She likes to write names, too. I wonder where she got the idea for Sophia?
