Charlotte's 3rd Month

Firsts: Cold (boo!),  giggle, trip to Kindermusik, big round of shots

Mommy and Daddy’s Favorites: Your laugh, the way you smile at us and at Aubrey

Measurements: 13lbs 3oz 24in., 0-3 and some 3-6months, size 2 diaper

Like Aubrey: you love to eat everything!

Sweetest Moment: We absolutely love seeing you and Aubrey interact. You are constantly watching her and have started smiling at her. She loves to give you kisses and asks to hold you daily. If you start to cry she loves to help rock your carseat to calm you down or come and get mommy and daddy to help you.

Memorable moment: Hearing your giggle for the first time! Daddy was changing you and making silly sounds. A few days later you giggled for mommy in the tubby!

Challenges: Sickness. Your third month has been hard. You didn’t handle your shots well. They caused you tummy problems and you were crabby and didn’t sleep well for a solid week. You have honestly not gotten back to how you were sleeping before your shots still. After you were finally better from that, Aubrey got sick again with a fever and then you got your first cold. It was so pitifulL You have a very runny nose and ended up with rough sounding cough. We took you to the doctor because you were having trouble breathing, but they just told us it was a cold and to use your nose sucker, saline drops, and a humidifier.

How we spend the day: Nothing much different from last month.

Feedings/Eating: You’re back to waking in the middle of the night and then super early. You don’t really have a schedule yet, but we try to stick with the eat, play, sleep pattern. I works most of the time.

Sleeping: Your sleeping has gotten worse this month due to your sickness. You have been waking up several times and not always going back to sleep after waking up really early. Your naps have gotten better thankfully! It was suggested to us to swaddle you during naps as well and now we get at least 30 minutes if not longer and we are able to lay you down. You’ve even taken a few naps in your crib!

Personality: You are starting to develop your own little personality. You have such a sweet demeanor about you. You are content to sit back and just suck on your hands or your blanket for a while. You have a pretty distinct grumpy face, but its very easy to get you to smile and coo at us.

Likes: microwave fan, being swaddled, a moving car, Aubrey, Mommy and Daddy, being outside, Dislikes: getting saline squirted in your nose, having your nose sucked out, getting tired,

Mobility: you are doing such a good job holding your head up, you can also hold yourself up for a few seconds and move your head from one side to another during tummy time.

Favorite toy: Your bunny animal blanket. You like to hold on to it (or anything really) and suck on your hands.

New Explorations: You are doing slightly better at tummy time. You don’t mind if as much if you are propped up on your boppy. We’ve even gotten a few smiles from you.


Sounds: You are constantly talking to us with your sweet coos and squeels. I love this age so much because your make the cuestest sounds and love to just chat with us for several minutes in a row.
