Clara turned 3 months old yesterday and I juat wanted to update everyone about how she has been doing. I weighed her and she is 14 lb, 3 oz. A healthy girl for sure.
So far she has been eating breatmilk only... mostly straight from the breast, but Dad has been giving her a bottle each night when I work.
I went back to work a week ago. It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm working full time but still 7 days on, 7 days off at night so I have every other week off with her. On my work weeks she will be staying home with either Patrick, Grandma Mary, or Grandma Dayna. During the day they bring her in to nurse while I'm sleeping, then I get up for bathtime and bedtime before I leave for work.
Sleeping has been improving for the most part. She generally sleeps in her crib from 8pm til 8 am... and gets up for a feeding or two during the night.
As for diapers, we've been using Bum-Geneous cloth diapers exclusively since she was about 2 weeks old. I love them. They are super soft and absorbant. We rarely have an leaks and never have had any diaper rash problems. They cost a little bit up front, but I know in the long run they will save us a bundle over disposable diapers.
In the phyical activity area, she is trying to roll over, but can't quite do it on her own yet. She can sit up with assitance, loves to play airplane in Mom or Dad's arms. She has started reaching and grabbing toys, and loves to jump in her jumper.
All and all, it has been an amazing 3 months. We can't believe how fast they have gone and how much she has changed.
