Eve's Three Months Old!

Look at those chunky legs!  Finally getting some rolls! :)

Weight & Height: 12 lbs 1 oz & not sure for height... But she's growing!  In just 2 weeks she's gone from the 17th percentile to the 26th percentile in weight... and 43rd in height/weight combined.  Woohoo! :)  Yippee!!  Happy dance!!!  Praise hands!!!!

Clothes & Diapers:  We're still wearing the size 1 diapers and she wears 3-6 month clothes, although she can still fit in 0-3 months.  Most of her long sleeve clothes are 3-6 or 6-9 month, so she hasn't worn a lot of 0-3 months since it's been cool lately.  She has officially outgrown her Newborn PJs and I've packed away some of the NB clothes that it won't be warm enough for.  I could probably pack up all the NB clothes, but I just hate packing away my favorites.

Eating & Sleeping: We JUST transitioned to 5 oz bottles every 4 hours.  She eats at 7, 11, 3, 7, and 10, and sleeps until about 6:15 most mornings.  Because of the transfer issue with breastfeeding, I usually only nurse for the first morning feeding and sometimes the 7 pm feeding... it breaks my heart, but I love knowing she's thriving and growing... even if it's a lot more work to pump and bottle feed.

Mood:  She's so sweet y'all.  She's developing a smiley little personality and remains pretty content and flexible with everything we do!  If she wants some attention she'll let you know and boy does she have a loud holler.  She is very patient and understanding though!  Haha!

Likes: Snuggling, eating, blankets, her tiger toy on her bouncy seat, looking at her reflection in the mirror of her swing, her mommy!!, looking around, the giraffe on her jungle gym, "talking" with mommy & Ava Kate

Dislikes: The girl hates taking a bath.  Screams bloody murder every time.  She also doesn't love being held like a baby unless she just ate... otherwise she wants to sit up like a big girl and look around. :)

Milestones:  Sleeps through the night (1st 8 hour stretch Nov 1), 2 month old shots (Oct 21), rolls over from back to front (Nov 7 in her crib!), rolls from front to back (Nov 9), cooing and talking, recognition of familiar faces, first Halloween

Sentimental Things Mommy Wants to Remember: Sweet baby snuggles in the rare moments of quiet, those big blue eyes full of wonder, how Ava Kate wants to hold her all the time, precious moments watching Parker snuggle her up

Eve's Weight Gain Journey: As of Nov 23, she has graduated from regular weight checks!  Praise the Lord!  I'm so glad she's growing as expected now!  We have finally fallen into a routine and things are settling down!  It hasn't been easy at all and my supply took a huge hit when she was just nursing and only transferring 1.5 oz... I've had to eat a ton of lactation cookies and take Fenugreek to get it back going and even still, I can just stay ahead of her with bottles.  I end up with maybe an extra oz each day, but haven't been able to produce enough to stock up on a freezer stash, which worries me a little because I had to dip into it a bit as we were moving to exclusively(ish) pumping.  Thank God for an oversupply in the beginning!  Eeek!

Ava Kate (about 13.5 lbs) vs. Eve at 3 months (about 12 lbs)

1, 2, 3... watch me grow! :)  I can really tell in her face that she's gaining weight... it's harder to tell in other places.
