Hallie's 3 Months!

Hey friends!

This past month brought a lot of changes for Hallie! She is growing (obviously lol) and is now in 3-6 month clothes. I kept Brynn's baby clothes and when I went to get her 3-6 month clothes out the first thing I saw was a snowsuit! haha! I completely forgot they were born in different seasons, but it makes for a good excuse to get a few new baby clothes!

She is still nursing every 2ish hours. It has been a bit of a struggle to get her to take a bottle this past month, mostly because we haven't been as consistent with giving her one. It's been busier so finding time to pump has been harder, but I still want her to take a bottle so we are aiming to try and give her one each day so she gets used to it!

Sleep

Hallie is sleeping through the night which has been so nice! I wrote a post about her sleep schedule here and about the book The Happy Sleeper that was a game changer for us! She sleeps usually from 8 or 8:30 pm to 9am. This girl LOVES her sleep and takes after her mom I think haha! She naps after she is awake for an hour-ish. She will often nap when we are on the go, in the car or stroller or baby carrier, but she definitely prefers her crib and will nap a lot longer if she's in it. I was a bit nervous to take Hallie to the cabin and have her sleep in a new place because she has been doing so well at home, but she did great! We took along the things she normally sleeps with: the Skiphop Owl noise machine, soothers, her sleepsack, and her little bunny lovey as well as the Lollipop baby camera and it was like she didn't even know she was in a different place!

Dislikes

Her carseat - she really doesn't like going in her carseat and will cry for a bit while we are driving. Thankfully the kids are so helpful at giving her a soother and talking to her.

Being put down for too long - she just loves being held. This past month I tried a friends Beco baby carrier and loved it! We found one and it has been a lifesaver to wear at home, outside, on walks and anytime I need my hands free! The straps cross in the back (which my old carrier never did) and it takes all the weight off my shoulders and distributes it evenly. It is by far the comfiest carrier I've ever used!

Being held by other people for too long - she definitely knows me and will cry when she's "done" being held by others.

Firsts

She started rolling over this past week! I was shocked when it first happened because I honestly didn't think she would be able to for quite awhile! She rolls from her back onto her tummy, but can't get back over quite yet.

She has been so smiley and loves when people talk and sing to her. She coo's and is making those super sweet baby sounds! She is the most generous with her smiles when she wakes up in the morning and after naps! She has a cute little dimple on her right cheek when she grins which is super cute!

She had her first dip in the lake and actually fell asleep in my arms while her toes were in the water haha! She sat so contentedly and it was a great way to cool her off in the +35 degree weather!

xo,
