Mya 3 months

Smiling at Daddy!

On March 20th Mya turned 3 months old! I can not believe she is already 3 months. We still have no routine at all... Mya eats, sleeps, and poops when she feels like it.

At night she goes to bed about 9 or 9:30ish. Usually I have to hold her for a bit to make sure she is good and asleep then I can lay her down and she will be asleep till about 1 or so. We get up and nurse, she goes back to sleep and I put her back in her bed. The next thing I remember is waking up in the morning and she is in bed with me. I have no clue when this happens but it is sometime after Kevin gets up and says goodbye on his way out to work at like 4:45 am. We then snuggle and sleep until Jackson wakes up.

Napping is a mess... She goes back to sleep after being awake in the morning for 1-2 hours. The problem is that if I'm not holding her she usually won't sleep very long or soundly. She then naps off and on the rest of the day and evening for stretches of 30 minutes to 3 hours. It is all over the place and not consistent.

Eating- She is doing good at nursing, eating whenever she thinks she's hungry. I was really concerned my milk supply was drying up so I've been drinking a mothers milk herbal tea with a fenugreek liquid supplement. It seems to be helping. I'd like to be able to nurse her at least a while longer.

She smiles ALL the time! She smiles so big sometimes her whole little body seems to be smiling, her eyes get all squinty, her chubby cheeks are all huge, she curls her shoulders forward and bends towards her toes. It is the cutest thing. She has started to grab my hand or finger on purpose. Once in a while it sounds like she laughs a funny little chuckle but only sort of. She still gets the hiccups multiple times a day. She loves to suck on her hand or mine. She chews on them and slobbers all over them. When she first starts to suck on my hand she lunges to it and bites down on it with such fierceness! Her eyebrows furrow and her nose crinkles and she opens huge then CHOMP, she gets ya! When she does this we make little growling sounds as if they were coming from her and we all think its pretty funny. She has started to kick her feet if laying in her bouncer or on the floor. She has a strong, quick little kick too. She squeaks and coos at us and try's so hard to talk to us. She rolled from her tummy to her back one time at 13 weeks. Her head and neck are super strong, she loves to be sitting up super straight. She hold her weight on her legs for a long time. She poops out of her diaper all the way to her armpits almost daily. I have tried many brands of diapers, all have the same effect- poop up her back and all over her clothes. She loves her family, she follows Jackson with her head when he runs past her- I'm sure he is just a blur running around the room to her! She drools and drools and drools.... Her hair is growing on top, there is a small bald spot on the back of her head. She still loves the bath. She is pretty happy and content as long as we stay home or she is being cuddled by mom.
