3 Months

Cheeks run big in our family :)


3 months old and growing and changing every day! We've seen a lot of changes this past month...most good but one not so good. I'll start with the good. Sadie started sitting in her bumbo and really likes to be able to sit up. She also really likes to play with her toys now. She grabs for her monkey that hangs down from the car seat and holds on to it like she doesn't want anyone to take it. She loves to hang on to my hair too! She constantly has a hand in my hair. She's using her feet a lot to play with the toys now too. When she lays on the activity mat or bouncy she likes to kick at the toys. Sadie also likes to keep a good eye on Rylee, its like she is taking it all in. This month she has started to talk a lot more. Her coo's are so cute and it makes me smile all the time. I love it when she tries to have a conversation with me. Sadie is also a drooling machine! She's constantly blowing bubbles. She's realized that she loves to suck on her fists and fingers so that only adds to the nonstop drooling.


She loves when you talk to her and give her the attention.


We're still working on tummy time. She's not a big fan of it but she is getting better at it. She has a very strong neck its just she doesn't always want to use it.


We didn't have a wellness visit this month so I am not exactly sure how much she weighs. She's still pretty long and skinny but I think she did put some weight on in her cheeks and thighs. In this picture she is showing off her long arms.

Now for the not so good...sleeping. She transitioned to the crib around 10 weeks (when Rylee transitioned out of the crib into her big girl bed) and it went alright. The first few days she only woke up once a night. But now for the last few weeks or so she has decided to wake up twice a night. Actually she is pretty inconsistent. Most nights she wakes up twice but every once in awhile it will be one time or even three times. So we are trying to work on getting back to being a good sleeper. Daycare started swaddling her for her long afternoon nap and they said it works great. They have her on a schedule and everything. So we tried the swaddling thing and I think it has helped a little. We'll see, she is still so young so I am not worried about it. I just hope her sleeping improves soon, I like my sleep.Overall Sadie Lee is doing great! We know how fast babies grow up so we are enjoying each and everyday with our littlest babe.
