Month Three: You're Steering this ship

This month you began to put yourself on a schedule. It took your Grandma pointing this out to me before I noticed and began accommodating you (I was not completely oblivious, there was just a lot going on in these early days). At nine thirty in the morning and one in the afternoon, I would nurse you in your quiet bedroom and lay you down for regular naps. We did the same at bedtime. I realized how regular you feeding had become as well.

At three months old, you were wearing nine month old sleepers. You were very active, requiring a change of scenery every fifteen minutes or so. You were tired of the swing at this point, but liked laying on your activity mat and in your crib kicking with your mobile. We often had to strap on the Baby Bjorn and walk around with you to keep you entertained.

Thankfully, you really liked being in your car seat, because we dragged you around all over while we were looking for our house. You had your first little cold which stressed me out because you were so congested, I had to nurse you while you sat upright. You also learned to roll over which led to your sleep position of choice: face-down with your eyes resting on your hands. Try as we might to readjust you, you would always go back to smashing your face into the mattress.

This month, you had your first Christmas and first round of immunizations. You took your shots without even flinching. Let's just say that is not exactly the reaction with which we were used to dealing.
