3 Months!

As of yesterday, Haleigh is now 3 months old! Time goes by so quickly, and I am constantly reminding myself to cherish the times that I get to cuddle with her, the hours spent nursing, and that baby smell that I love! Haleigh continues to be an easy baby, full of smiles and giggles. It is such a joy having her in our family:)

3 months old! (Yes, the 3 is missing from the picture...I can't find it around this house!!)

The biggest change over the past month has been that I just returned to work. This past Monday was Haleigh's first real experience with a babysitter...and she was there all day long! It sounds like she did pretty well...wanted to be held a bit more than normal, but adjusted quickly. And on the way to drop the girls of Tuesday morning, Annaliese was very excited to be going to Amy's house again!! She kept saying, "Mom, you go to work? Annaliese goes to Amy's again? And play with Kailey? And Madison? And Haleigh's coming too?" And when I didn't reply, "Mom, talk. Talk to me." So we've all adjusted to my going back to work pretty well!

Here is a glimpse into the life of Haleigh at 3 months old: 

Sleeping: She loves to sleep! She continues to sleep through the night, going down anytime between 7:30 and 9 pm and sleeping until between 6 and 6:30 am. On days that I work, I wake her up at 6 to give us enough time to nurse and get to work. She naps multiple times throughout the day, usually going to sleep about an hour after she eats. The eat/play/sleep cycle continues to repeat itself every 2 1/2-3 hours!

Eating: Haleigh continues to be an excellent eater, and doesnt seem to care if she is nursing or taking a bottle. Good thing for us because we only tried a bottle a few times before my return to work. I have discovered that she doesn't like chocolate nearly as much as I do and I have cut it out of my diet completely. Although now that I write that, I'm thinking that all the milk she gets from the freezer has chocolate in it...and she seemed to handle that just fine. So maybe chocolate isn't a problem after all!

Clothes: Everything is either 3 months or 3-6 months. Although let's be honest, she loves to be naked!

Activities: Haleigh loves having her diaper changed, taking baths, sitting up and watching the world around her, riding in the car, and having the bottom of her feet kissed. She doesn't like loud, abrupt noises, being ignored, and we are still working on the tummy time too.
