3 Months Old

Amelia turned three months old last Tuesday (I know, I'm a little late on this post). She is starting to develop a personality which has been fun to see. She loves to smile when Brian and I talk to her. She likes her sister, but isn't completely comfortable with Allison getting too close, which I don't blame Amelia. She actually cringes when Allison gets too close - just waiting to get poked or "tapped" (Allison's idea of a love tap). She is cooing and making more noises.

Amelia is a wonderful eater; she eats five ounces per feeding. We will probably bump her up to six ounces soon. With all this eating going on, we have had to pack away her 0-3 month clothes and pull out the 3-6 month size. With Carters clothing, she is in size 6-month, which cracks me up. She seems too young to be in that size.

One great benefit of Amelia being able to drink larger portions during the day is that she sleeps wonderfully at night. For the most part she has been sleeping through the night (STTN) since 6 weeks old. I haven't dared to say that she is STTN because I kept thinking it was a phase. Allison didn't SSTN until she was six months old, so I was fully prepared to be waking up in the middle of the night for several months. We do have an occasional night where she wakes up for a feeding, but that is fine by me. I can handle it once a week. Nap time still needs to be worked on though. She is a cat napper. I need to get better about getting her on a schedule.

Amelia still has a full head of hair. I think it has thinned out a little; you can see her scalp. It has also lightened up a bit. I'm always afraid at bath time when I wash her hair that one day it is going to rinse all away.

We are looking forward to seeing what the next month brings us - we are hoping for many more smiles and her first laugh.
