Adelyn’s Three Months Old!!

Lots of changes have happened in Adelyn’s 3rd month of life! This post is LONG over due…over 2 weeks to be exact! However I did manage to get her pictures taken on the 21st, read on to find out more!

The biggest change is that she is now spending about 10 hours/day at daycare while Mommy & Daddy are at work. The transition, for her, seems to have gone just fine, Mommy on the other hand had a hard time! But this post is about Adelyn, not Mommy!

Adelyn continues to eat very well. While I was still home from work she was nursing about every 2 1/2 – 3 hours during the day. At daycare she takes a bottle about every 2 1/2 – 3 hours as well and does good going from nursing to the bottle & back. She nurses in the morning before daycare and also nurses at night when we get home for the day.

Napping at daycare has been a different story. The teachers in her room says she falls asleep in the swing or bouncy seat, but she can only stay there for 10 minutes because of DHS regulations. At that time her teachers have to move her to her crib. So she takes lots of short naps at daycare! On the weekends we have been working her napping in crib, make a little progress each time! Since she doesn’t take too long of naps at daycare she has been very tired at night, usually napping for 1 1/2 – 2 hours! It allows us to get a few things done, but we are always wanting to wake her so we can spend time with her after not seeing her all day!

Adelyn is a strong little girl! She holds her head up 95% of the time and has been rolling from her tummy to her back since she was 2 months old. I have a feeling rolling from her back to her tummy isn't far off!

She is still in size 1 diapers. We did buy a few of the Pampers size 1-2, its like size 1 1/2! She's also still in 0-3 month clothes. I have gotten a few 3-6 month things out, but completely switching over her close is on the to-do list!

She still likes to suck on her fist and if she could get both in there she was suck on both hands! Last month she lost interest in her "soothie" paci, but this month we tried the Nuk paci's and she likes those. She really only has them for nap time or at night when she goes to bed.

Adelyn got her first cold after being at daycare for only 2 days. Her cry was horse, her nose was running, and the poor girl was coughing so bad. Because of her not feeling well she started waking up during the night. It's been an adjustment to have that middle of the night feeding and still getting up for work in the AM, but we're making it work when the poor little thing doesn't feel well. :(

Overall she's still a happy little girl! When she is awake in the evenings after daycare she is happy to see Mommy & Daddy and gives us lots of smiles! This month has been an adjustment, but we are making it through and slowly getting into a new routine.

With each month Adelyn continues to grow and change. We are enjoying each and every stage of this precious little girl's life. It just needs to slow down!
