Happy 3 Months Aubrey!

Happy 3 Months Aubrey!

Aubrey is now 3 months old! She is growing and getting so big! I was just looking back on her newborn photos the other day and she has changed so much!

She loves to talk! Her new thing is screaming with excitement. She's discovered her feet so she's always playing with them. She has also mastered grabbing toys and loves to put them in her mouth (also her hands!) We are still working on her rolling over, Her personality is really starting to show. We've learned that she is a very adaptable baby that craves a schedule. She enjoys people and new surroundings but can be very sensitive.

Aubrey has been such a trooper with seeing doctors since she's been born. Early on we discovered she has moderate laryngomalacia and has been seeing a specialist for that. Laryngomalacia is a fairly common condition in infants where the cartilage surrounding the larynx is floppy, which results in noisy breathing. We noticed it in the hospital but the nurses attributed it to her still having amniotic fluid in her lungs from the birth. But when we got home it got worse and she started having a hard time eating. She often choked and made loud "seal like" sounds. Turns out she was having a hard time coordinating breathing and swallowing. She should grow out of it by the time she is one, we just need to monitor her closely when she eats. Now we have been seeing the pediatrician 'cause poor baby girl developed pretty bad reflux. Since she's been on the meds though she's eating again and back to her normal, happy self!

She now weighs 13lbs 12oz. We just started using size 2 diapers (I love Huggies!) and she can fit in most of her 6 month clothes.

Naps are still a mess. I can get her to nap occasionally in her bassinet but she will only nap 20 minutes. In my arms she will nap 1-2 hours. At night she is still a good sleeper, her first stretch is usually 8:00-5:00 or 6:00. After the holidays I plan on sleep training her and moving her to her own room and crib. No more sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's room! It is going to be a huge transition for all of us. My goal is to finally get her to sleep in her crib for ALL naps and maybe even fall asleep all by herself!

She LOVES reading books. She gets so excited, yelling with excitement and hitting the book!
