Blair - 3 Months

Blair is 3 months old! I really cannot believe that she is already this old. It has been fun to put her in some of Halle's old clothes that she wore at the same age and see the difference between the two. People usually think that Halle looks a lot like me and now they have been saying that Blair looks a lot like Brandon! I think so too which is fun to have one of each that looks like us. Blair has become a pretty content baby these days (except for today...I think she is going through her 3 month growth spurt!). She follows the eat, awake, sleep routine pretty much through the whole day and eats every 2-3 hrs. She has been sleeping pretty well at night for the last few weeks which has been great. She usually goes to sleep around 7-8 and then I wake her up for a dreamfeed between 10-11pm and then she sleeps until 4-7am.

It is so much fun to see all of Blair's smiles. She really is a happy baby! She loves to look at Halle and sits very well in the bumbo. She doesn't like tummy time at all so I haven't been doing much of it. We will start doing it more though so that she can figure out how to roll over... She loves just looking at all of us and only gets upset if she is by herself, tired or hungry.

At 3 months, Blair..

Makes smacking noises with her mouth, blows bubbles and sucks on her hands which all cause some major drooling just like Halle! Though her favorite thing is definitely sucking on her hands. I did see her find her thumb just yesterday!
"Talks" to us and it is super cute - she just loves to look at you and make noises along with her smiling - definitely likes to see our faces
Holds her own hands (when they are not in her mouth...)
Eats every 2-3 hours during the day
Goes to bed around 7-8pm with dreamfeed around 10-11pm and then wakes up anywhere between 4-7pm...last night it was 10:30-6:30 (yay!)
Can put some weight on her legs while standing
Weighs around 12 pounds according to our scale this morning!
Takes her naps in either her swing or her carseat if we are out in the morning - she sleeps pretty well but always with her noise machine with the sound of rain
She usually gets tired an hour after she eats, then naps anywhere between 1-2 hrs..
Is so smiley! Only really cries now when she is tired..
Doesn't cry when she takes a bath now or even when she gets out
Wears size 1 diapers though I think she should be in size 2 and size 0-3 month clothes
Loves being on her changing table
