Maddie is 3 months old

The diva, Maddie, is now 3 months old. She's definitely grown a bunch this month. We had her weighed today (for Zantac purposes) and she weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds 13 ounces. Holy cow!!

She is still in 3 month clothing, which will probably change soon since she's growing like a weed. She's in size 1 diapers and size 2 at night. When we finish this pack of size 1's, we are moving her up to size 2. The diapers aren't leaking, her legs are just too fat to fit comfortably in the size 1's. I love her little, fat legs!

She is now up to five 6 ounce bottles a day. She eats pretty consistently at 7:45am, 10:45am, 2pm, 5pm, and again at 7:30pm. She still spits up a lot due to her acid reflux, but with the help of Zantac, she no longer fusses about it. I just have to keep on top of her medicine.

She had a rough week of sleeping at night. I'm almost 100% positive it was due to her stomach because when she would wake up, I'd give her gas drops or gripe water and she would go back to sleep. The first two nights she woke up, she wanted more to eat. I then upped her bottles to 6 ounces during the day and that fixed that. She was still waking up at night with tummy troubles. Yesterday, I increased her dose of Zantac (will be confirmed today if I was right) and she slept the full 12 hours last night. She takes five -1 1/2 hour naps during the day and is up the rest of the time. She wakes up to eat, plays around some, and then falls back asleep.

This month she really enjoys sitting up, standing on our laps, the exersaucer, and laying on her tummy. It took a little while for her to actually like tummy time, but she handles it a lot better now. She actually is rolling from her tummy to her back on her own. She was doing it on the bed a lot, but I figured it was just a fluke because the bed is so soft. I put her down on her play mat and she kept doing it over and over. She loves sitting on my hip and letting me walk her around. She is not fond of laying down on her back without having toys to look at.

She absolutely loves and adores Connor. Every time she sees him, she smiles at him. He's very good with her and acknowledges her. He gives her kisses, fist bumps, high fives, and will fetch her and try to give her a paci. He even tries to help burp her. She loves having him around her.

Here are some pictures of her this morning, a video of her rolling over, and a picture of her and Connor at 3 months side by side.



Such a diva!


So much sass


The evil eye at her momma has already started


But she's still very sweet :)


I think they have the same nose, lips, and hair color, but their eye shapes are completely different
