3 months old!

Pearce, you are 3 months old today!  You are just the sweetest, happiest baby!  

*You wear a size 2 diaper now.

*You are wearing mostly size 3 month clothes.

*You take 5-6 ounces of Similac Formula every 3-4 hours.

*You have started spitting up more, so I have to be careful with how active you are right after feeding you.  Sometimes you want to burp, but you can't and it makes you upset....then you spit up and you feel better!  I hope this gets better soon!

*You are going on your first airplane ride tomorrow to go to Arkansas.  Mommy is a little nervous about this, but I think you'll do great!

*You still sleep great!

*You started getting out of your swaddle blanket, so Mommy got you something new.  It's called the Magic Sleepsuit and so far you love it (see the picture below)!

*You smile all the time.  I think you are on the verge of laughing...especially at daddy!

Pearce, these past 3 months have been so much fun!  I love you more and more each day.  I am so proud to be your mommy.  I love looking at you and talking to you because I know you know who I am.  I love soothing you and rocking you to sleep.  I love that I can make you feel better if you are sad.  I love it when you smile at me for no reason at all.  I. LOVE. YOU!!!! 

So, this is the sleepsuit. Pearce has been getting out of his swaddle, so I decided to try this.  I saw it on another girl's blog. the idea behind it is that the baby can still move his arms and legs, but the movements are muffled which means he doesn't startle himself with his movements and wake himself up.  The first night we tried it, he slept uninterrupted until 9!  This morning he slept until 8.  I think it just makes him feel snug and secure, but not restricted like with swaddling.  I was worried about him getting hot since the outer layer is fleece, but he did not sweat one bit!  It really is pretty amazing!  He looks so funny in it!
