Three months

Isn't she just precious?

What an amazing three months it has been.  Jason and I feel so blessed to have such a sweet baby girl.  She is definitely worth all of the shots, medications, blood draws, ultrasounds, heartache, and everything else that I went through over the two years before she was conceived.  I couldn't imagine life without her.


Harper at 3 months old...

• She weighs 12 pounds, 8.5 ounces.
• She can still wear some of her 3 month size clothes, but some 3 month sizes are too small (not long enough).  So she is wearing 3 month, 3-6 month, and 6 month sizes.
• She sleeps about 9.5-10 hours straight at night, eats, and then sleeps another 3 hours.  
• She loves to be swaddled to sleep. 
• She can now put herself to sleep for naps with minimal fussing.  If she does cry, I walk and shush her for a couple of minutes and she calms down and puts herself to sleep.  I am so thankful that I did not have to go through the "cry-it-out" method!  
• She loves to look at her crib mobile.  We use it at nap time.  She looks for it immediately when she's put in her crib.
• She is eating 5 times a day on most days.  I think she may be starting to push it from every 2.5-3 hours to every 3-4 hours during the day.
• She is still exclusively breastfed.  I do give her vitamin D in the morning and she takes it so well now.
• She has started to refuse to drink from a bottle.  Not good.  We've really got to figure this one out...  I had to wake her up when I got home from bunco on Monday to feed her because she wouldn't take a bottle from Jason.  
• She still doesn't care for a pacifier but she loves to suck on her fingers.
• She can roll over from her tummy to her back.  
• She can grasp and hold toys put in her hand or that her hand comes in contact with.  She always reaches for toys with her left hand.  Hmmm.....  
• She really only cries when she's tired or over-stimulated, mainly in the evenings.  I think we need to move up her bedtime to 7:30.
• Her nicknames include Harp, Harpster, and little pooh.

Her smiles make my heart melt.  Seriously.  She is such a happy baby.  She smiles so big at me while having her diaper changed and when she sees me walk up while Jason is holding her...  she will also pause while eating to give me a smile.  I love it :)
