Some things you should know about 3-month-old Grace:
- While she is not the most smiley baby, she is giving a LOT more smiles these days, especially in the morning, and especially to men.
- She sucks on her hands and fingers constantly
- She licks her right arm during tummy time when she needs to give her noggin a rest
- She jabbers like crazy, especially during tummy time
- She wants so badly to talk and is very interactive and observant when people are talking to her
- She gets excited and is trying to laugh, although for now it mostly sounds like breathlessness accompanied by arms and legs wildly akimbo
- She is calmed down by being in a sitting or standing position
- She's a great sleeper. To celebrate her 3-mo-mark she slept 10 hours!
- She can hold her head up really well
- She's increasingly more social and wants to be where the people are
- She seems to like music and when people dance with her
- She is very attentive to the TV (not sure how much I like that)
- She is grabbing, holding, and taste-testing the different fabrics of her blankets and spit rags
- She still likes us to hold the binky in her mouth and will hold our hands and fingers as we do
- She always wants her carseat cover open so she can observe everything
- She is is so expressive
- She is still a major spitter and it looks like she probably has eczema
- Her fake sneezes have gotten increasingly more hilarious, almost like she's doing it for her own entertainment
- Although it seemed impossible, she just keeps getting cuter.
We love our tiny Grace face!
Little Miss Grace is just so cute. I enjoy your updates on her. You're a great mom!
ReplyDeleteIt drove me nuts when every time I wrote something just to share it, everyone took it upon themselves to "help" me. I know youve probably heard tons of advice. But I think Cetaphil was such an incredible help with eczema at our house, I'd feel selfish if I didn't share. My first two had eczema (and the accompanying baby acne) SOOO bad. My first, we were able to help some with some cream and wash the doctor gave us. My second, we just used Cetaphil wash and it helped, but then we started putting the Cetaphil cream on her too, and she was clear within a few days. We have been using those same things on my third, and we haven't had any issues yet, whereas my other two kids were both really struggling by this age. Maybe you've already tried that, and every kid is different, but Cetaphil made a huge difference with our kids. Hope that helps!
You're awesome Michelle. Thanks! I appreciate any advice you want to offer. I was told Aquaphor works well and since I already have it that's what I'm trying, but Cetaphil has been great for me personally and it's less greasy than Aquaphor, so I will probably try that instead. YOU are a great mom. I love your daily instagrams about your life with three girls. Wish you guys lived close!
