3 Months Old!
Ooops..she took a tumble!
But then I got this cute shot...love this girl!
Tessa June is 3 months old...another month goes by and she just gets more and more fun! She's the perfect addition to our family and we just can't even imagine life without her!
She's weighing in at 10 lbs 6 oz, wearing 0-3 month clothes, and is still in a size 1 diaper! She's sleeping in 7-9 hour stretches at night but still goes to bed late (anywhere from 9-11pm) so I'm working on getting her bedtime earlier but we'll see how that goes! I can't complain that's for sure!
She's eating well and still eating about 6 times per day.
She shocked us at 12 weeks and rolled over from her back to her belly! I was totally not expecting that but one night I had her on the floor of the living room changing her diaper and as I was getting the clean diaper ready she was really working to roll over and all of a sudden she did it! I rolled her back over and she immediately rolled over again. That must have worn her out because after that she worked and worked to roll over but didn't make it over again for a couple of days!
She loves her playmat and is really enjoying playing with her toys now...hitting them with her hands and her feet. She likes to be propped up on her boppy pillow rather than on her back.
We work on tummy time a lot too!
She has started blowing bubbles and drooling quite a bit! Now I know why they make bibs to match every outfit!
This girl is a talker..just like her sissy! She squeals at an octave that is quite ear piercing and it feels like she's truly telling you a story. She will also mimic someone if they stick their tongue out!
Tessa is such a HAPPY baby...I'm not exaggerating when I say that she literally smiles all day long. You just look at her and she gives you a huge smile! She has such a laid back personality and we just love her to pieces!
Tessa loves bathtime! She just lounges and let me wash her all up and gives huge grins...it's like she's having a day at the spa! Now when it's time to get her out and wrap her up she still screams sometimes because she doesn't like being cold!
She still takes 4 naps most days and naps in different places. Usually her first nap is in the swing and then she'll nap swaddles in her bassinet and them in her carrier when we're on the go. She's not on a real routine daytime schedule and she is good at just going with the flow!
She has started spitting up more than she ever did. I don't think I used a burp cloth with her until
about 8 weeks in. She never spit up and it's progressively gotten worse
but still not as bad as I've heard of other babies. She smiles right
through spitting up..it's so funny...although since I was not used to
using burp cloths with her from the beginning I have learned my lesson a
time or two and gotten covered in spit up. Now I keep burp cloths all
over the house so I don't get caught!
She scratched herself pretty good one day this month and actually drew
blood on her little cheek...she had fallen asleep in my lap while we
were skyping with my parents so I just laid her in her bed and she woke
up screaming with a horrible scratch on her face. Poor girl. So I have
been giving her manicures and she just sits there and lets me cut and
file her nails...such a girl.
She loves when her sissy plays with her and gives her some great smiles. Tessa is such a good sport...here she is in the bumbo with a veil on!
Riley just now has shown a little jealousy towards attention that Tessa
gets but she never takes it on out Tessa. When we are gawking over
something Tessa is doing Riley will sulk, cross her arms, and say "you
aren't saying that to me"...then we give her some silly attention and
explain to her that she gets attention in different ways. Sometimes she
actually gives this sly grin like she already knew that and was just
checking to see how we would react.
We are so full of love for both of
these girls!
