The Cains: 3 months

Caroline is 3 months old today! She turned 13 weeks on Sunday and 3 whole months today! I know I will blink my eyes and she will be 6 months, then a year, then three!! A friend told me that her mother used to tell her "the days are long, but the years are short" .... I must say I agree. Our days are certainly full around here - and sometimes feel very long, but in all honesty it really flies by. The first year they grow and change so much - more than they will at any other time in their life - a lot of accomplishments in such a short time. So, we're holding on tight and trying to cherish these sweet moments with our wee one!

August 15, 2011 - 3 months old
(trying hard to sit up by yourself)

This past week was a HUGE week for sweet Caroline - she started school and had a great week - only one really fussy day - WOO HOO!! We are so proud - and she still seemed to like it today too!

So here is what our 3 month old is up to:

sleeping great again - you have gone 6-9 hours every night this week

you are on the move - you can scoot yourself around in circles in the crib and on the play mat

you can hold your head steady now while pulling up to a sitting position

you want to see the world... you don't like to be carried unless facing out

you rode in the BOB stroller for the first time this week without your car seat - you loved it!

you are smiling more and talking lots

you are still a bit fussy when nursing, but typically only the second feeding of the day - the rest are all fine

you are eating 6 times a day - and I'm still able to feed you at work - which is so nice!

you are able to wear a lot of your 3 month clothes

you are having more good days - we are SO hopeful this is the end of colic - 3-4 months is when it ends - at least that is what everyone has said - here's hoping to it being 3 months.
