Arbor Victoria
Age: 3 months
Height: 23.5inches
Weight: 12lbs 4oz
Milestones: Arbor has def found her voice. She screeches, coos, hollers, screams, and belly laughs! She wants to make sure we hear her and that the attention is on her- oh boy!! She rolled over from tummy to back three times the first week of Oct but hasn't done it again for about a week now. I'm in no rush for her to become mobile. Haha
Sleep: This little booger makes her Mama work. She wakes between 830-9am every day. From there I nurse her every three hours (give or take thrity min depending on how she is and what's going on..). She eats, stays awake for an hr or just a little more, and then I lay her down in bed. She had been getting so frustrated being swaddled so I tried the Magic Merlin suit. Basically just muffles her reflexes and she LOVES it. The length of time she sleeps isn't any different but as long as she's in this, has her lovie, and paci she's good to go. Now night time she has been very different than Ayns. Was was sleepingn from 9pm-7am at this point. Well Miss Arbor goes to bed between 730-830pm. Then she nurses again around 1030-1130pm. Then no matter what she will go 6 hour stretch only. Nothing longer :(. Haha. I know. I can't really complain but would be nice to not to see 4am! I've tried getting rid of the "dream" feed to see if I'm interrupting her sleep cycle, keeping her up longer in evenings, shorter naps during the day..etc. Nothing! But thankfully after she eats she sleeps till 830a or 9am. She is about 1.5lbs smaller than her sister at that age...so who knows!! I will def be soaking in this early am feed Bc I know soon enough she will be a crazy two year old that doesn't want anything to do with her Mama!
Best Moment: She loves when her Daddy and I nibble on her chin. Her belly laughs are contagious and make any dull day so much brighter!!
Worst Moment: She has started this new cry that is glass shattering. Not sure what and why she does it. It last for about 10-15min and then she is done. It breaks my heart Bc I feel like something f is hurting her but can't tell what. :(
Eating: She eats the boob every three hours. She takes a bottle for her Dad like a champ and still makes her Nana work a bit at it. She is taking in 3.5oz at one time which I feel like her big sis never ate that much till like 6months old. Going to try 4oz these next few days in working (also, giving her a bottle before bed doesn't make a difference either Hahaha).
Extras: Arbor has had many car trip adventures and has done FABULOUS. She doesn't mind being in her car seat as long as she has her paci and we are driving. I think the one reason my girls don't have a problem being in their seat is Bc I never take them out of it when we grocery shop, go to the mall, church etc...so they get used to being in it. Makes life a little bit better!!
