Lincoln- 3 Months

3 MONTHS....I can't believe it!!

Weight: 17lbs

Length: 25in

You are in the 96th percentile for you weight and 75th for you heigth. 

Thankfully you have slowed down a little on your weight gain and

only gained 2lbs this month.

Sleep:  You are sleeping through the night quite a bit now.  You still wake up around 3:30am some nights.  We let you sleep in your own bed the other night and I think you really liked it.  I had a hard time sleeping because I was constantly waking up and checking the video monitor to make sure you were breathing.  I ordered a movement monitor that goes under you mattress that will sound an alarm if there is no movement for 20 seconds.  It might seem a little overboard but that is the only way I am going to be able to get any rest if you are sleeping in your own room.  You LOVE to sleep on your belly and I think that is what worries me the most.  You still fight your sleep especially at night.  Once you realize you are about to go to sleep you wiggle your body to wake yourself up.  We have also realized that you get hot when you sleep so if we put you in a onesie and socks you usually sleep all night.

Clothes: You are wearing mostly 6mo. clothes.  You still have a couple

pairs of pants that are three mo. that you can wear but

probably not for long!  You have a few 9mo outfits that you

wear but I think they run small. :)

Diapers: You are now in size 3 diapers.  We put you in size two for a

week or two but size 3 just seem to fit better.

Feeding: You eat 6oz every 3-4hours during the day.  We add a little cereal to each bottle just to thicken it up a little.  It has seemed to help and you aren't acting hungry all the time now.

You go back to the doctor next month for more shots and your 4mo. well visit.

You bring so much joy to our lives.  You are constantly smiling but you still haven't really laughed yet just squeal a little.  You "talk" to us all the time and love to watch TV especially football.  I think you take that after your Daddy :)  You can roll from your back to you side but not all the way over yet...that I know of.  You want to constantly be moving.  You hate when people try to hold you like a baby unless you are eating.  Bathtime is your favorite.  We let you sit and splash in the tub for about 30 min each night.  We have to refill your tub several times to keep the water warm but you love it!!  You have also learned how to do the pouty face with your bottom lip stuck out.  It is so pitiful looking.  You definitely know how to get your way especially with Mommy. 

Your new hat!  War Eagle!!

You stick out your tongue when you are smiling really big!  It is so cute!!

Lincoln kept trying to eat the dog!  You also

drooled all over the tie sticker so we had to take it off

because you were getting blue ink on your

hands and trying to eat it.

Your new favorite toy!  You love to bounce!

Lincoln's baseball outfit his Mopsy got him.

Mopsy also got your last name put on the back :)

My big 17lb Boy!!

Your favorite time of day!  We just let you kick until you are ready to stop. 

Plus it makes you sleep better because you wear yourself out!

You hated the robe but I had to put it on you before you grew out of it.
