3 months!



Hadley how is even possible that you are already 3 months old?! I can't believe it!!! These past 3 months have gone by entirely too fast and you are getting WAY too big! Slow down!
Here is what you are up to at 3 months old...


-You weigh around 15 pounds (guesstimate) and are 24 inches long!


-Still wearing size 1 Diaper


-Wearing 3 month clothes


-You are getting to be a GREAT sleeper! Praise the Lord!! You sleep 8-10 hours every night! Such a huge blessing!


-You are taking 2 good naps during the day. One from about 7:30AM-9AM and another from about 11AM-1PM. After that its kind of intermittent until you go to sleep around 7:30PM.


-I went back to work this month so your Gigi and Grammy have been taking care of you during the day. You have done SO great!!! I have missed you terribly though!


-You are still exclusively on breast milk, and eat about 5 oz per feeding.


-You have decided you hate your pacifier and would much rather suck on your thumb. It is so cute to watch you sleeping with your little thumb in your mouth!!!


- You have become much more social this month. You smile at us all the time, and talk and kick your legs constantly.


-You follow us around the room and turn your head when you hear our voices.


-You love to "stand" up and are getting great at holding your head up.

-You still love your bouncy seat and swing.


-You have discovered your hands and love to stare at them. You have also started grabbing things more and holding on to them.


-You also LOVE your bath! Yeah! Its so fun to watch you kick your legs in the water!


-You are such a happy, easy baby! We are so thankful!!!!


We Love you so much Hadley and cannot wait to watch you grow up...just slow it down a little! :)

2 months!


Hadley you are 2 months old! Time is FLYING by! Here is what you are up to at 2 months old....

-You weigh 13 pounds (75th percentile), and are 23 inches long (75th percentile)!

- You have moved to Size 1 Diaper

-You are in between sizes....your newborn clothes are too small but 3 month clothes are a bit too big....

-You are the happiest in the morning. After you wake up and I feed you, you are SO happy. You smile and coo and kick your legs. Its so cute!
- You smile all the time. Its so sweet to see you look at us and smile!

- You are such a happy, peaceful baby! We are so thankful!

- You are a wiggle worm! You are always moving your arms and legs! We have to swaddle you really tight at night so you won't flail your arms and legs and wake yourself up! I have a feeling you are going to be BUSY once you can move around!
- You love to lock your legs and "stand up". You turn your head from side to side. You are so strong!

- You are starting to like your bath! As long as you have warm water being poured over you, you are ok. After about 10 minutes though, you have had it!
- Your hair is getting redder by the day!

- We just got back from a trip to Houston to meet your great grandmothers! You did GREAT in the car! It was alot of riding in your car seat (about 20 hours in 3 days!) , you were such a trooper! I am SO glad you got to meet your great grandmothers! Such special memories!!!

- You are a good sleeper at night. You wake up once around 4AM, so not too bad! You still are not a great napper during the day. I am lucky to get one morning nap and one afternoon nap out of you (usually about an hour each).

- You recognize my voice and your daddy's voice. When you hear us, you turn your head to where we are and look at us. It makes my heart melt!

We love you so much Hadley! It has been so fun to watch your personality come out a little more this month!!! We can't wait to watch you grow up!!!
