Micah is 3 months old!

My, where is the time going? I cannot express the joy we experience on a daily basis thanks to our new addition. He is growing and changing so much and each day we fall more and more in love with him. How is that possible?





Size: Micah is 14 lbs. and 12 oz. as of today and in the 74th percentile for weight. HE wears 3-6 month clothes and a size 2 diaper.

Eating: Micah nurses 6 times a day.

Sleeping: Micah has started sleeping through the night. I usually put him down around 8:30 or 9 and he'll sleep until between 6-7AM. He usually stirs around 3AM and we have to go in and give him his paci, but he usually goes right back to sleep. He is napping 3-4 times a day for about 1-2 hours each. He LOVES to be swaddled, but is getting too big for it. After our trip this week I'll start training him to sleep without his swaddle, which will be like sleep training all over again.

Milestones: Sleeping through the night has been HUGE! I cannot tell you how great it is to sleep again. We moved Micah from his cradle into his crib in his own room a few weeks ago. We have a digital baby monitor so I can see and hear Micah in his nursery and that allows me to sleep in peace as well. I miss having him in his little cradle, but he is a growing boy! He laughs now too, which is hilarious and just lights up our day. We love trying to get him to laugh at us. He is an incredibly happy baby boy.

Micah is getting better at tummy time. He still hates it, but he is getting stronger. He head isn't shaping quite like it should so we are seeing a cranial specialist in 2 weeks to see what can be done to get it shaping like it should. He loves to sleep on his right side so (thanks to the monitors) we can see when he is lying on that side and can turn his head. I try to keep him off of his head during the day with lots of tummy time. Hopefully it will shape up soon, if not he may require wearing a helmet. Not excited about that idea, but we'll do whatever we need to do for him.

Micah is a lot like his daddy. He will sit and play by himself all day! He doesn't need to be entertained but LOVES people and loves to interact. He is incredibly laid back and calm. It blows my mind! I am so thankful.

We love spending time with our baby boy. He loves to smile and laugh. He is a pretty easy baby and only cries when he is hungry or tired. He is a GREAT sleeper, which makes my life so easy. All of that will change once we transition to no swaddle blanket though. He loves books and enjoys swinging in his swing and going on walks with mommy and daddy. He loves when I sing songs to him and make him do little hand motions. It always makes him smile. I am loving being a mommy and watching my precious boy grow and change. He is learning and taking in all the sights around him.
