3 month milestones
Weight: 9lbs 8oz (less than 5th percentile)
Height: 22inches (less than 5th percentile)
She is reaching/grabbing for things. She can spin the balls on the toys that her Uncle Dylan and Aunt Jennie sent her. She can grab a hold of your shirt, hair, skin, nose, ear, and finger. She can hold a pony tail holder, rattle, spoon, spatula, and binkie. She has discovered that she can pull her binkie out and even put it back in sometimes. We practice sitting, rolling, standing, and moving a lot. She has very strong legs and can stand if you help her. She also has started to stand and lock her knees when you attempt to put her in her carseat, as if she's telling us I was having fun doing whatever we were just doing and I'm not sitting down in this thing again! When placed on her belly she will push herself up with her arms. She will also "slither" across the floor if you give her something to push off of with her feet. She can do it without the item to push off of she just moves a WHOLE lot faster with it. LOL She sits quietly in church and either stares at the choir or sleeps in her wrap. She clearly recognizes our faces and our voices. When Jess comes in from work she will give the biggest smile ever! Letting her know that she missed her mommy! She likes to talk to Jess too. (we'll have to get it on video sometimes along with the slithering) She refuses to take a bottle (not that we've give her one in weeks) or a binkie if I am holding her. I guess she figures she can breastfeed if she's on me. She is doing much better sleeping. She waits 1-3 times a night depending on the days events. She starts out in her pack and play and then after her first wake up she generally refuses to go back to sleep unless she is in the recliner snuggled with Jess or in the bed with us in my arms. She LOVES food. She stares at us while we eat. She licks her lips. She moves her head as close as she can get it. Soooo we gave her a small taste of some foods last week. We put some chocolate pudding, banana pudding, key lime pie yogurt, and ice cream on our finger and let her suck it off. I'm guessing TOTAL she had 1 ml of food but she absolutely loved it and was pretty angry when we didn't give her more. We are going to try to hold off on all real food until 6 months. We may still give her some tastes here and there but nothing more than a small taste. She loves her stroller and she can now sit in it like a big girl. She loves her sisters and smiles when they come to kiss her little head. She adores being outside and would prefer to live out there. We love her more and more each day and can't wait for the next set of milestones!
