Growin' like a weed: 3 months




Height: 23.3” (48%)
Weight: 11lbs 8oz (32%)

Likes: Mommy… sheeee’s a Mama’s girl.   Brooke has found her voice and ohhhh man is it loud! I wonder who she gets that from (cough cough) SERIOUSLY, chick only has one volume… LOUD! Hahaha she can be fussy and not wanting to go to sleep and you turn her around and shake your head at her and she’ll give you the biggest grin and talk your ear off! How can you be upset at something so stinkin’ cute!? She also likes her hands.  Those suckers are ALWAYS in her mouth! And she likes drooling… she does it a whole lot.  Yuck! And she likes kissing J

Dislikes: Daytime naps. Hahaha okay this is still the same… BLESS.  She’s now sleeping with one arm swaddled and one unswaddled. Progress.  I’ll take it!  She also doesn’t like socks apparently, they NEVER stay on her feet!  Brooke isn’t really a fan of tummy time, she’s good at it but she gets frustrated quickly. 

Sleeping: She’s a 45 minute at a time napper during the day… UGH.  At night she goes down between 7:30 and 8:30 and will normally wake up once between 1 and 3 eat, and go back to sleep.  It’s been a while since we’ve gotten the long 8-10 hour stretches.  She can only sleep if we put her face right by her bumper.  No, she doesn’t suffocate or keep her face by it all night, but I think she really likes snuggling so it comforts her.

Eating:  Still breastfeeding but it’s getting harder.   I almost have to keep her swaddled and put a blinder on her (joking, but I should) in a dark room because she gets soooooooo distracted and wants to play!  Her hands are EVERYWHERE! Haha really Brooke?!  Boob=food… not a play toy! Oh yes, we refer to her food as “milkies” she’s a very messy eater and often times gets sprayed atleast once per feeding from my insane let down.  She doesn’t take bottles that well anymore, guess we’ll have to work on that!

Playing: All the time! She can now intentionally grab rings, rattles, push big buttons to play music and lights!  She played in a friends exersaucer the other day and LOVED IT! She realllly likes sitting ( in her bumbo) and standing!  We’re going to borrow an exersaucer until we can find one for her.  She likes playing with her activity mat, but more so enjoys talking/standing/drooling on whoever wants to hold her and play with her!
