So I have neglected my blog once again, due to this cute little baby that I get to play with all of the time. She has changed so much this past couple of months! She is such a cute and happy little girl!
2 months:
weight: 12 lbs 4 oz
length: 22 3/4 in.
Ellie started sleeping through the night! She hasn't stopped since then! I consider myself to be EXTREMELY lucky because I have heard that only a small percentage of babies do this at this age. If only nap time was that easy! She was and still is hard to get to sleep during the day. She seemed to get very fussy at around 4 P.M. and would continue to be fussy until bed time. One the bright side she started smiling at us. She started out just smiling at her Daddy, but did eventually start smiling at me too. There was one night I was putting her to bed and she was just looking at me and smiling. I went to close the door and she had stopped smiling for a little bit. As soon as I got back her face lit up and she started smiling again. It was so sweet. She started cooing a little as well. We packed up her bassinet in the middle of the month and started using her pack n play. I'm sure she would have done fine in her crib, but I wasn't ready to sleep in a separate room. She became a big fan of baths. She will calm right down when we put her in her little tub. She ate 2-3 oz. every 3 hours.
3 months:
weight: about 14 lbs
length: around 24 in.
Ellie is really talking a lot now! She loves when I make different sounds. She gets really excited when i say papa, click my tounge and make kissing noises. She also loves "singing". One day we were riding in the car and I heard her making her noises. When I turned the radio down she stopped, but she started right back up when I turned it up again. She will also sing with me. She started giggling. It is the best sound ever! She also rolled over for the first time 2 days before her official 3 month b-day :). I was very surprised. I wasn't expecting that to happen at all! She is still sleeping through the night with no problem, but needs extra help taking naps during the day. I have now noticed that she gets tired after being awake for about an hour. Things that help her fall asleep are rides in the stroller, and rocking her to sleep. I can't put her down though. She will wake right up and won't go back to sleep. She eats 4 oz. every 3 hours.
