3.5 months...

Thursday, January 5, 2012 Posted by Dana J.
Baylee is now a big, 15-pounder! She's getting so big & so long... most 3 month outfits don't fit her in length (& in her big bulging belly area - she likes to eat!!).

She's a great baby & we all just can't get enough of her! She feels like such a special little person to me. She's really tough & I know it sounds funny to say, but I can tell she's very smart & aware of her surroundings.

She can now self-soothe and she can fall asleep on her own with me putting her in her crib fully awake. The longest time span she has slept was on New Years Eve night, she slept 8 hours straight. That would have been awesome... If it weren't for me staying up until 1am! But, typically she goes to bed at 8/8:30pm & will sleep to about 2/2:30am. She nurses & then sleeps until usually around 5/5:30am.... Then the room starts to lighten gradually & she starts getting restless & I don't really know... It's always a gamble as to what happens thereafter. Sometimes she'll sleep until 7:30/8, sometimes she wants to wake up at 6:30 & play... or she'll just lay with me, or hang out in her crib. Overall, she's pretty pleasant & happy though.

Her favorite place in the house is laying on our bed and having all of us look at her & smile at her - she loves smiling back and talking to us. Or being bounced around or walked around. Lately she's been taking a few mini-naps in her new Giraffe swing, or in her crib... but, mostly in my arms.

We take her back to her Radiologist & Urologist (it's a combo appointment) on January 17th. Hopefully we do the tests & that we get our answer on the same day! I'm really curious to know what exactly is going on & if she'll need surgery... Or whatnot. So far she has been great though! The daily antibiotics have kept off any urinary tract infections & she's gaining weight, having lot's of wet diapers and seems to be a normal, happy & relatively healthy 3 1/2 month old!

She enjoys tummy time & also a few tummy naps with me near by.
Of course (as always) I had Preston hovering over me while I took these pictures & had to try to try to keep him to the side.... lately it's tough for me to get any solo pictures of Baylee

These are just a few of the many faces of sweet little Baylee...
(she reminds me SO much of Garrick... their noses are so similar!)
