3 months old!

3 months old

Here is the top news from Sawyer's life at 3 months old:

-She weighed in at 16 lbs. this morning. She was 14.2 lbs and 24 inches at her 2 month appointment back in June which put her in the 95th percentile for both. (We've already established that she is a very VERY good eater)

-She started sleeping through the night at 9 weeks old. Not gonna lie...it's pretty amazing! She currently goes to bed between 7 and 8 pm and sleeps until 7 or 8 am. Dusty and I consider ourselves pretty dang blessed that we've got such a good sleeper on our hands.

-She still doesn't sleep well in her crib--the longest nap was about 20 minutes. We'll just stick to the bassinet for and keep trying the crib every once in a while for naps.

-She still absolutely despises tummy time, which in turn makes Mommy hate tummy time because it's torture watching her cry. We TRY to do it every day, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I have to pick those times very wisely because if she has just eaten, is cranky or tired, she's going to let me hear it!

-Speaking of choosing those times wisely--Sawyer is already showing us her lovely temperament....she can go from zero to sixty in a matter of seconds!! We have nicknamed her eyebrows the "eyebrows of fury" because when she gets mad...they get RED! I think we are going to have a very strong-willed and temperamental child on our hands, but I wouldn't change a thing! I love her strong personality :)

-She LOVES standing and pushing with her legs. She rocks herself in her rock n' play by pushing her feet against the bottom.  You can even see some little leg muscles underneath those squeezable rolls!

-She is so smiley and talkative. The gooing and cooing makes my heart melt, especially when she is having those talks with her Daddy. She talks to him more than anyone...it's the sweetest thing to watch.

-Many of those talks happen first thing in the morning. I have to wake up early to pump and not too much later, I'll hear lots of goo's and coo's from Dusty and Saywer. I love walking in our bedroom and seeing Sawyer laying in our bed with her Daddy (who has pulled her in so they can talk) just cooing and gooing away along with lots of smiles. This is definitely a favorite part of my day!

-She likes Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Phineas and Ferb (Daddy and Sawyer watch P and F together)

 -The 12 week growth spurt has been a killer (more so on our house than me)! She was permanently attached to me, if it wasn't to nurse, it was just to be held. I'm not complaining about having her attached to me so much, it's just that I wasn't able to get ANYTHING done around the house. She decided that she didn't want to take good naps for few days. Those few days were the hardest! At most, she would take a 20 minute nap a day and it had to be while I was holding her. If I put her down, she would wake up and it was a scream fest. I am thanking the Lord that she is back on a good nap schedule!!
-She loves being outside! If she is fussing or crying, walk outside and she'll instantly get quiet. It's like magic!

Ahhh! This is the life!

-She is drooling and blowing bubbles like crazy! I wouldn't be surprised if she cuts a tooth within the next month...we'll see!

-Her right thumb has become her best friend. We try to replace it with the pacifier because that will be an easier habit to break, but that only works sometimes. If she's asleep in her bassinet, you better believe you'll see that right thumb in her mouth. There is even a picture of that in my previous post.

-Lastly....I am finding it hard to put her down when she falls asleep because she is just growing so fast. It is so bittersweet because I look forward to all the things to come, but at the same time, I don't want her to get any bigger. I know that is something every mom feels, but it's just so hard! I had to buy 6 and 9 month clothes just to make it through putting away her clothes that were too small. I needed to have something to look forward to! 

Yippee! I'm 3 months old!
