Happy 3 months, Anna!

Our baby is growing up! These first three months have passed so fast and we have seen such a change in our little beauty. Not only has she doubled in size, but she is also getting a little personality. Anna is a precious baby and we look forward to the month ahead.

Diaper: size 2
Clothing: 3 and 6 months

Likes: baths, being on her back on the play mat, being swaddled, bouncing on a knee
Dislikes: gas, being squished

Eating: Anna continues to be a great nurser . . . and a terrible bottle taker. But we are working on it!

Sleep: Anna usually wakes once at night and has even slept through the night a few times. She is a great sleeper! I can tell she is ready for longer wake times during the day as she becomes more interested in her (chaotic) surroundings.

Schedule: Routine is so good for us and seems to work well for Anna too. We are out and about several days a week, but a normal day at home would look somethings like this:

7:30 First feeding of the day
8:30 Nap
11:00 Wake and nurse
12:00 Nap
2:30 Wake and nurse
3:30 Nap
5:30-6:30 Wake and nurse
7:00ish Nap (she doesn't nap regularly during this time of the day, but thankfully it doesn't tend to be a fussy wakefulness)
9:00-10:00 Nurse and back to bed for the night

Physically: Anna has earned a bald spot on the back of her head. Otherwise, she has a nice head of hair! She hasn't rolled over, but has thrown her head back like she she knows the motion. She smiles more now and I love the way her cheeks lift up when she gets tickled. We've also gotten to know a really cute frown when that bottom lip comes out. Anna has found her voice and uses it mostly to protest (as opposed to a real cry) when something isn't going her way.

Next appointment: Friday, October 28, 2016 at 10:00am

Her first time keeping the paci in. It didn't last long :)

Sarah dressed for the occasion when we all went to Anna's two month well visit. 

When the doctor is called away, the Cooks play!

Josiah left a picture he made for Anna :)

Making the most of an early morning.

Sweet cheeks!

Anna was not impressed with my resale find.
I guess we will have to stick to putting diapers in the diaper bag :)

Sweet sleeping girl.
