Eliana - 3 months!

Eliana you are 3 months old!!!

-You are wearing 3 month and 3-6 month clothing. It makes me a little sad that you can’t fit 

into some of your smaller clothes now, but I am also very happy and thankful that you are 

growing and healthy.

-You are wearing a size 2 diaper.

-I am not sure exactly how much you weigh. We have tried to weigh you and it looks like 

somewhere between 13 and 14 pounds.

-I don’t know how long you are now or what your head circumference is.

-You are still refusing to take a bottle. My mom was here for a few days and you drank a 

little out of a bottle (1 oz) as soon as she gave it to you, but then you fell asleep. When your 

Daddy tried later to give you one you screamed at him and you acted weird the rest of the 

day. We figured out that sleeping is your defense mechanism against the bottle.

-You are still sleeping through the night! Yay! We went to Nashville for a few days because 

of my work when you were 10 weeks old. The first night we were there you woke up once 

around 4 am, and I fed you and you went back to sleep. I was afraid that was the end of 

sleeping through the night, but you were fine the next night (likely because you were awake 

for about 8 hours straight that day…I’m not sure what that was about), and you have been 

fine ever since. A few nights you coughed at exactly 3:00 am, and I was afraid you would 

wake up, but you never did.

- You had no problems riding in your car seat before we went to Nashville. Unfortunately, I 

think you officially got tired of your seat on that trip. The first week or two after that you 

screamed almost every time we got in the car. It has gotten better, but it is still not as good 

as it was.

-You also got to ride in the big part of your stroller for the first time on the Nashville trip. 

You love going for walks and looking around!

-You're still sleeping in the pack-n-play at night at the end of our bed. Daddy still says it is 

time for you to start sleeping in your own room, but I just can’t handle that thought. It 

seems so far away. We have decided that we will try it in a few weeks.

-You have started turning in your crib. You go to sleep facing one direction and by morning 

you have rotated 90 degrees.

- I adore your smiles! They are so cute!

- I’m afraid that you might be starting to teethe. You are drooling constantly, chewing on 

everyone’s shoulders, and sometimes you are a little fussier than normal. I’m not ready for 

you to have teeth, yet!

- You still kick your legs a lot…especially when you get excited!

-You like to look in the mirror. I like to take you into the bathroom and sit or stand you on 

the counter. You get so excited when you see that cute baby staring back at you. Sometimes 

you try to get closer to the mirror. You also like it if I put some water in the sink and let 

you splash in it with your feet.

-You love watching tv. I probably should not have started this at this young age. Oops.

-You love taking a bath. However, I changed it up the last few times, and you haven’t been 

as big of a fan. Your bathtub came with a little sling (kind of like a hammock) that you can 

put infants in until they are big enough for the tub part. You seemed to love to splash in the 

water, and you were always hanging your legs off of the sling, so we thought we would let 

you sit in the bigger part. You liked it at first, but by the end of your bath you end up 

getting frustrated.

-Your neck has been strong since the day that you were born. You can lift it to at least a 45 

degree angle when you are on your belly, but sometimes it is even more. If we are holding 

you, you can keep your neck steady.

-You are not a fan of tummy time for very long. We bought you a playmat, and we hope this 

will help you start to like tummy time.

-You still don’t care much for toys. We can dangle them in front of you, but you don’t do 

much other than stare at them. I hope you start grabbing at them soon.

- You absolutely love your burp cloths…particularly the Babies R Us brand. You grab them 

and hold them for a long time. You even rub your face with them and suck on them. 

Sometimes if you don’t have a burp cloth, you will hold onto your clothes.

- You like to suck on your fingers and the back of your hand.

-Your eyes are still so big and blue. Beautiful!

-You are slowly starting to like your swing again. I am trying to get you to be content by 

yourself for a little while each day. You are definitely starting to like your exersaucer more, 

but you still don’t play with the toys on it!

-I love how much you love your Daddy. It is so cute the way you smile at him.

-You still love to be held, and you do not take an afternoon nap.

-You still love your changing table. I know it’s weird, but I love changing your diaper 

because of how happy you get.

- I love it when you giggle. It doesn’t happen all of the time, but when it does it is adorable!

-You still have the hiccups all of the time. They didn’t bother you when you were a 

newborn, but now you fuss every time you get them.
