Clothing size: Macy is comfortably wearing 3-month clothes now. She just transitioned to size 2 diapers.
Diet: Just breastmilk. We're experimenting with different methods of delivering the milk though, including nursing, a bottle, a spoon and a sippy cup. I'm considering starting cereal when she turns 5 months old.
Sleep: The big accomplishment this month was to get Macy to take naps on her own. I used to hold her for many of her naps since she would wake up as soon as I put her down. Now though, we have her taking several naps a day (30-45 min) in her crib. At night, she sleeps from about 7:30pm-7am and wakes up once or twice to nurse. In the last week I started giving the "dream feed" a try (feeding her right before we go to bed at about 10:30pm while she is still asleep). It has helped to push back her first wakening a couple of hours. That longer stretch of sleep is bliss for me!
Development: This was a big month! Macy started batting at her toys and then grabbing them. Everything she grabs goes right to the mouth! She enjoys sucking on her hands and drooling. She has become very vocal lately. She shrieks and coos loudly and babbles all the time (especially when watching sports). She smiles at herself in the mirror and has even started a small laugh. Macy loves standing up, so we pulled out the exersaucer and doorway jumper and she has had a great time with those. Last week she rolled over for the first time. She still smiles constantly and is especially happy in the morning.
Likes: Baths (she is really splashing around now and sucks on her washcloth), doorway jumper, linked colorful plastic rings, standing up, Mom and Dad's goofy noises and faces
Dislikes: Being left alone, long car rides, having sleeves put on, being lotioned up
