Austin at 3 Months Old

November 24th 2017

What smile? No way! Not when I have to concentrate on that camera in my face!

3 months
12 lbs, size 1 diapers and just moved into 3-6m clothing.

Much better month! Still a needy baby but we are figuring out what makes you happy and what makes you mad. Your schedule seems to be mostly figured out. You wake up between 8-9 eat, are super happy for a while and then get cranky and tired. Then you take several small naps during the day and generally go to sleep for the night around 9. Usually sleeping a long stretch until 6 am.

You still sleep swaddled and in the rock n play.

Your baby acne is back, probably because I haven’t been careful with dairy. You also have eczema or cradle cap pretty bad on your head. It gets worse when you bath.

Your hair is still red but definitely thinning except the area around your neck. It is very thick and makes you look like you have old man hair.

I’m pretty sure your eyes are turning brown. When the sun hits them just right I see brown around the pupils.

You spit up like a crazy man. Sometimes projectile, sometimes slow but a lot, sometimes thick sometimes thin. It’s so fun. I smell like barf a lot.

You definitely prefer Mom and you are really good at smiling at mom. It is so adorable! Especially your dimple. You will go to other people but mom is your favorite. And you only want mom when you are mad.

You still hate the car seat except when we are actually moving.

You don’t like the bouncer and tolerate the swing when you are in a good mood. You do sleep well in the swing though.

If you are in a good mood then you are happy to just be put on the floor on your back. Then you just lay there and wiggle.

You have gotten good at pulling your legs and butt up into the air.

You like to suck on your fist when you are hungry. Or mom’s finger for a tiny bit.

You had your first Thanksgiving, not that it was exciting since you couldn’t eat anything. You were happy all day since you were held almost the whole day.
