Three Months Old/ Thanksgiving

Leah at three months old:


* Measurements- I'm not sure her exact weight, since we don't go to the dr. this month, but just from standing on the scale with her, she is between 11.5 & 12 lbs. We are almost to the size 2 diapers, and still in 0-3 month clothes.

* Sleeping- I'm not sure if its from the holiday & change in her routine or if its because she's going through a growth spurt, but she's started getting up in the middle of the night again. Last night it was 1 am and 4 am. She's not really very good at naps, either. She'll have a sleepy day one day and then not sleep at all the next. She's still very unpredictable, and though I would love to get her on my own schedule, it might take a lot of tears, and I'm not sure I can handle that at work.

* Eating-She still eats rather sporadically, 2 or 3 oz. every hour or so, but she's getting there, starting to go longer between feedings.

* Playtime- She interacts more with her toys now. Her favorite is a star that attaches to her playmat that flashes and plays music. She sits and watches it like it's a TV and sometimes cries when the music stops.

* Discoveries- She has definately discovered her hands. She is determined to fit her entire fist into her mouth, and is almost successful. She can sit and look at her hands for long periods of time and finds them incredibly interesting. She also clasps them together when she's happy.

-She doesn't much like baths anymore. She's cried the past few times. Maybe the water's too cold/ hot? She still loves the changing pad, though-- it always makes her laugh.


Thanksgiving at my parents' house was a lot of fun. It was very relaxing and great to have the help with Leah. Of course she was spoiled by her grandma & grandpa, as well as her aunt & uncle. She got to meet her Great Grandma Pohl, also, and I'm so thankful for the time they got to spend together. She took her first trip to the beach and slept through it, since she hadn't slept all day. The weather was beautiful-- sunny and low 60's-- so it was a perfect day for lounging around and enjoying the company of family.
