Ivor - 3 Months

 
 
 
 
Month: 3 - May 26, 2017

Height: No sure this month with no doctor's appointment

Weight: My guess is around 12lbs

Diaper Size: 2

Clothes Size:  3 month

Sleep:  He has 2 patterns he does here.  He eats for the last time around 9/9:30 every night and is asleep for sure by 10, sometimes earlier.  One option is he will sleep from then all the way until around 7am and then be up for an hour or so.  The other is sometimes he will wake anywhere between 3-5am to eat, and then back down until close to 9am. When he does have that random early wakeup he gets up, eats, and is immediately back down asleep all within about 15minutes.  So overall he is still doing great.  I am so curious if he will have the dreaded 4 month sleep regression I have heard horror stories from. Tilly never had one at any age, so I have no clue what to expect if he does!  Right after 2 months we moved him from the rock n play to the flat pack n play, and THANK goodness he did perfectly fine! Moving Tilly out of the RNP was a disaster.

Eat:  What I mentioned above is for nights and then daytime he typically does between 2.5-3 hours.  Sometimes mid day he'll have a long nap and go about 4 hours in between.  Still EBF here!

Likes:  Mommy.  This dude is 100% all about me.  He wants me to hold or be laying next to him all the time. If someone else is holding him he watches me the whole time and keeps his eyes right on me.

Dislikes:  Still not a fan of being put down too much during the day.  If I can get him good and asleep, I can normally sneak him off me and get some stuff done while he stays zonked out. Evenings he definitely doesn't want to be put down at all.. so that's a bit challenging! oh, and he HATES tummy time. So, we don't do that too much.. oops.

Extra Updates:  Overall things are about the same! He is still our sweet snuggly little boy. He's a pretty happy and content guy most of the time.  He loooves to lay and "talk" with me and just grin like crazy, he is the cutest thing ever.  He is also pretty fascinated watching Tilly and I think a bit of it is fear, haha! She sings (screams) "Let It Go" all. day. long. and he has this look of terror in his eyes most of the time when she is.. poor guy!  He has done so good being drug around for all of Tilly's activities and just day to day errands. He is for sure our little trooper.  A random, kind of gross note- this dude goes the longest time in between pooping.  Finally on Monday he went after 13 days.  His doctor said up to 2 weeks is normal in breastfed babies, but sheesh.  It doesn't seem to bother him at all so it's not an issue.. but just so bizarre! I can't wait for his 4 month checkup next month to see his stats and how much he is growing.  We have it scheduled along with Tilly's 3 year appointment, so I am curious how close in size they will be! haha  We also are taking a beach trip the end of June so hopefully little man does ok and we can enjoy our first vacation as a family of 4!

Happy 3 months to our little guy! :)
