Monthly Update - Month 3
Who does she look like? I think this one is pretty much the same as last month. Most features like mommy, but lots of expressions that are very daddy!
Loves? She loves all things that make her smile! :) She is enjoying the swing, and on the rare occasion, the bouncer too. Her favorite is just to lay and stretch out and play.
Sleeping? Goes to bed between 7-7:30. Sleeps a 7-8 hour stretch and then a 4-5 hour stretch. She still sleeps quite a bit during the day.
Eating? 4 ounces every 3 hours during the daytime.
Sizes? Growing out of our newborn jammies, she is too long! Wearing some newborns and some 0-3 months now.
Weight/Height? Around 10 pounds, and 24 inches. (estimates)
Unique Qualities that make her Quinn? She is very smiley! At times she can be serious and just take everything in, but she seems to be showing a much more jolly and smiley side these days. She has the funniest expressions, and the most expressive little eyes/eyebrows. It cracks us up. Again, can't wait to see what this little girl will continue to be like. For a preemie, Quinn has never acted like it in the last 3 months. Usually a preemie would be more apt to be fussy or take longer to develop routines, but she has done so well and is such a good baby. The only thing she has taken longer to do is how much she eats (but not a concern, it matches her gestational age), she is moving right along and growing big!
Firsts? Rolling over from front to back!!! YEA QUINN! Sitting in the Bumbo and getting so much stronger.
Most Valuable Baby Items? The swing, helps for some of her naptimes. Gripe Water (for the occasional little bubble in the belly) and I just can't say it enough our video monitor.
Mommy's favs? I am so in love with every single moment with her. I couldn't be more grateful that I get to stay home with her. I still love the one nap a day that she snuggles and cuddles with me on my chest. Getting her out of her crib, every single time, is the absolute best! It's evolved from just smiling at you, to smiling - cooing - and kicking her feet in a little dance for you. :) Her little lips have always been my fav, but her eyes are getting so big and just make me melt.
Daddy's favs? He loves how much stronger she is getting. Rolling over was so exciting and he continues to work with her on rolling over back to front too. And he thinks it is so cute how she sleeps with her hands behind her head sometimes. :)
