Makayla Jo | three month update | June 9, 2012

1.       How old is baby? 3 months on 6/9

2.       Doctor’s appointments?: next one is on 7/13 (4 month)

3.       Stats:

a.       Weight: unknown

b.      Height: unknown

c.       Clothes size: M is wearing some 0-3 month clothes and 3 month clothes now. A lot of them are getting tight, but I refuse to get out her 6 month clothes already!

d.      Diaper size: Kirkland (Costco size 1-2), Overnight Huggies size 3. 

e.      Hair color: Brown

f.        Eyes: Beautiful Blue 

4.       Milestones:

a.       Teething: Tons of drool, like tons. But no signs of teeth yet! 

b.      Verbal skills: Lots of cooing and she had her first laugh at 14 weeks! 

c.       Rolling: She started rolling over at about 12 weeks (back to belly). She rolled over the evening of my very first day back to work (5/29/12). She loves rolling over and does it non-stop now. She just started rolling from belly to back this week (15 weeks).

d.       Anything else? She LOVES her FP play gym, her swing, and we recently bought a FP Rainforest Jumperoo off of CL but I think she's still a little to young for that. 

5.       Things she likes:

a.       Toys: She loves her "o ball", her "taggie", and putting anything in her mouth! 

b.      Books: She's not a big fan yet, but we do try to read "its pajama time" every night before bed. 

c.       Songs: Recently started playing Pandora's Baby Einstein station, she loves it! 

d.      Other activities: She loves tummy time and she could stay on her tummy and hold her head high for awhile.

6.       Things he dislikes: Still hates wet diapers, but yet will sit in a dirty diaper all day. 

7.       Sleeping: Just within the past two weeks, M has been sleeping from approximately 7:30 p.m. to 5:00-6:30 a.m. She loves her room and is such a wonderful sleeper! 

8.       Eating: She's eating between 4-6 ounces of Similac Sensitive every 3-4 hours or so. Approx. 27-30 ounces a day.

9.       Nicknames: Makaykay, Makay, Chicken, Princess, Pretty Face

10.   Things we’re looking forward to next month: 4th of July, enjoying summertime weather

11.   How I like motherhood: I love it. However, it is much harder then I ever imagined. Being back to work has been so wonderful for me. Working 4 days a week is the perfect balance. I love spending my evenings and weekends with M, it is so much more special now that I am back and work and not around her 24/7. I always knew I wasn't cut out to be a Stay At Home Mom, but now I am 100% satisfied with my decision of going back to work. I'm sure it helps that I LOVE MY JOB so very much! 

a.       Likes: Watching my husband interact and play with her. Melts my heart every single time.

b.      Dislikes: Being tired, and getting used to starting my weekend days at 6 a.m. now.
