Annalise is 3 Months Old
As I type this, Little Miss is laying on the bed trying her hardest to get a toy in her mouth. She is really an easy-going baby. If you haven’t heard her “I’m getting lonesome, hungry, tired, bored” whine, you should. It is more of a moaning holler, and it is so funny… for now. Speaking of, I should get it on video because it will be gone before I know it. We went to a friend’s house this morning and I held her month old baby, and I had already forgotten Annalise being so small. It makes me sad that these precious moments are so fleeting.
However, I am so glad that she is past the three month mark and through the fourth trimester. It would be really nice if babies were born at three months old, except the whole birthing part. I’m not a big fan of the fourth trimester, it is exhausting.
At three months, I have no clue what Annalise is weighing or measuring, but she is barely squeezing into the few 0-3 month clothes that still fit. She is smiling up a storm and starting to giggle/squeal in amusement. Her favorite things to do are to be held, to watch Josiah do stuff, and to be held some more. She greatly dislikes pacifiers, sitting alone in a bouncy seat for more than 10 minutes, and nursing with a cover on.
She goes to bed around 7:30 but doesn’t fall asleep until 8, no matter how early I start her bedtime routine. This makes teaching from 7-9 very interesting, especially now that she refuses a pacifier. She wakes 2-3 times a night to nurse, and (gasp) still sleeps in our bed. She is such a cuddle bug! Even though swaddled, she manages to scoot to my side in her sleep. During the day, she stays awake for 1-2 hours before needing to go back to sleep and is generally easy to get to sleep.
I guess that’s it. I’m sure you loved all the details, but since these monthly posts morph into scrapbooks for the kids, I need the details.

oh, that sweet pea!
i really enjoyed that link on the 4th trimester. it makes so much sense. i wish i would have done that with my first. she was in her bed at 6 days! can you imagine? our second slept with us from day one. he was much more attached- that’s when i discovered the sling. the funny thing is that now dylin (at 4 1/2) is in our bed every night. so much for ’sleep training’, right? : )

My blog has been converted into a journal somewhere along the way as well - haha. That’s not what I intended it to be, but there’s just no time to write anything down! Don’t worry, I read the details!!!
Annalise is growing up so much! Gosh time is flying. I hope we see you next week!
