3 Months

 Info about Charlie...
  • Sleep: About 12 hours a night. I lay him down after he eats, and usually he cries for about 5 minutes before falling asleep. Lately he has woken up once or twice a night, but again cries for less than 5 minutes before falling asleep again and usually stays asleep. He is in his crib in Dylan's room.
  • Only breastmilk still, eats 4 times a day.
  • He LOVES being talked to, has been so smiley lately. He doesn't talk a lot, but is so sweet when he does :)
  • Has started batting at toys on his playmat and often enjoys playing under there for longer periods of time.
  • Hardly ever takes the pacifier and often sucks his thumb these days. Always the left, and it soothes him to sleep...something the pacifier never seemed to do.
  • He rolls over from his tummy to his back often, but it still seems to be an accident every time. He is getting really good at staying up on his forearms and looking around at everything.
  • When he drinks a bottle he'll take anywhere from 5-8 oz, this seems to fluctuate a lot. This seems to be the case with breastfeeding too. Sometimes he just seems uninterested in eating.
  • Size 2 diapers
  • 3-6 months clothes fit him best
  • His flexible schedule looks a little like this
    • 6:30-7:00   First feeding
    • 8-8:30   Nap. Can be anywhere from 1-2.5 hours
    • 10:30-11:00   Second feeding
    • 12-1:00    Second nap. This is totally hit or miss if he takes a good nap or not.
    • 2:30-3:00    Third feeding
    • 4-5:30   Third nap for a half hour to an hour
    • 6:30   Last feeding and in bed right after
    • His naps are getting better, but still need some work. I try to put him in his crib every morning for his nap, and the afternoon and evening ones are more up in the air...either crib, swing, or car seat if we're out. I love when babies get on more of a schedule. They seem so much happier and I feel like I usually know what they want and why they get fussy!
A little comparison picture for you. Some pictures of Dylan look more like Charlie than others. Their eyes are definitely different, but when they are sleeping they look a lot alike.



 Brother love!

Maybe they have the same nose, but in my opinion, they look totally different!

Happy 3 months Charlie! You are sure one good little boy!
