I just cannot believe my sweet baby is THREE months old!!!
I know I'm going to be saying this forever BUT her faces Crack. Me. Up.
Month Three Week by Week
Here's a little update on what Emma Claire has been up to this month!
Eating: Emma Claire is still going strong with breastfeeding. She has really gotten better at it and both sides are "Easy" for us now! I am so thankful for this. She hasn't had any formula in over a month. I know there's nothing wrong with her having formula, I only say this because I feel GREAT that I finally have the hang of breastfeeding and don't have to give her any formula. We worked so hard to get to this point and I'm proud of us BOTH! :-)
Sleeping: HA! Sleep...what sleep?! I swear just as she fell into a rhythm of sleeping 6-8 hours a night BAM she started waking up every 2-3 hours at night. I'm pretty sure this is her 4 month sleep regression hitting early. She is sleeping very differently now and it's just her little body growing and changing. I'm not stressing too much about it. I know it's just a phase.
Firsts: We can now do tummy time for quite a while without crying. She really is getting some great head control and loves to "plank" when she's on her tummy. She's SO close to rolling over! She now reaches for some toys. Her smiles are intentional now and the other day I made my jaw sore from making my "Happy" face for so long trying to get her to smile! HA! She has LOTS to say. She is constantly babbling and talking to us. She LOVES to talk to her daddy, already a Daddy's girl ;-) This girl can also create some serious drool. No joke. She's also the queen of spit bubbles! We also had our first visit from Aunt Paige and Granny Dawn and Granddaddy Wade. Our first complete meltdown happened in Target the other day, we had to leave without getting anything.
Clothes: A few 0-3 outfits still fit but she's mostly in 3 month clothing. She's still wearing size one diapers.
Mommy Moments: I've decided I'm going to be THAT Mom who cries whenever something big happens. I was SO sad that I had to pack up her newborn clothes. I also cried the other night when she was fussing and broke out of her swaddle and grabbed my thumb with her hand then sighed and fell right back asleep. I know that me holding her hand makes everything better right now but that won't always be the case.

So sweet! Do you make all of her bows?
Happy 3 months pretty girl. She is just to cute. Hope her sleeping gets better soon
You are allowed to say her expressions crack you up as much as you want. ;) I can't believe she's 3 months either! Crazy!
As for the crying..it's normal...but .the hardest part is when you do that for your LAST baby. Or like for me, Preston finally has a loose tooth...announced last night. I am so sad. Once he loses it, he will lose that baby look. :( I've secretly been happy he's 7 with all his baby teeth! Lol.
awww, love these pics!!
I'm THAT mom too!! I cry every time I pack away a size and I cried when we got Olivia size 2 diapers! I think we all feel silly crying, maybe it is our hormones? haha
Georgia likes to hold Jonathan's hand while she is in her car seat and he's driving. He reaches back and puts his hand where she can reach...so sweet!
Happy 3 Months Emma! She really does make the best expressions! And I love that she has a bow to match her sticker :)
I can't believe she is 3 months! She is just so cute and I agree that her facial expressions are just darling! Don't worry about being "that" Mom. I'm the same way! I'm not usually much of a crier but anything to do with Emerson can get me crying in no time!
