this month we bought a dockatot and it has been a life saver. we orginally stated with it placed in your pack n play, but momma put that thing right in the bed with me and daddy and we have all slept so much better. i can soothe you so much easier with you beside of me. you love knowing mommy is close. and mommy loves not having to lean over the side of bed to fight with your pacifier. we are no loger swaddling you. you sleep in a halo sleep sack now that you love to self soothe with your fingers.
Health : you have started showing early signs of teething (lots of drool, sucking on your fingers, and a little more cranky at times). Momma can actually see two little white spots under your gums on the bottom row. While I dont think you will cut a tooth anytime soon, i am afraid we may be in for a long haul with this teething business. Momma gives you Tylenol when they really seem to be bothering you

Baby Gear Must Haves: you love anything that you can hold easily. baby Einstein toys have been our go to. Dr. Browns bottles, you have started to not love your Swing....and like your Mamaroo more, MAM pacifiers, boppy, your giraffe (Gerry), your singing Cora Bear, Dockatot SwaddleMe blankets, Aiden and Anais swaddle blankets, anything with a mirror, Puj bathtub, gerber cloth diapers ( we use these as burp cloths), fisher price play mat, anything with lights and music, Fischer price bouncy seat, rattles, links that dangle from your seats or mobile. you love grabbing for things
Likes: YOUR HANDS! you are amazed by them. you like holding one hand with the other, sucking on your hands, looking at your hands and grabbing things with your hands, you also love music and love it when momma sings to you.
you also love being on your back and playing with your plat mat.
you love your car seat and anytime we go for a ride in the car you fall asleep instantly.
you love watching the Disney channel in your bouncy seat....you are mesmerized
bath time continues to be your favorite
you love the mornings. you are so smiley when you first wake up and in the best mood when you first wake up. it's mommy's favorite time.

Dislikes: naptime ....you fight it so hard. having your nosed cleaned out with nose freida, you also hate if we aren't holding you in the evenings.
Mommy: when you were 11 weeks old, mommy took you to miss erikka's house (your sitter) for the first time....and momma was a wreck the whole week leading up to it. the first day momma picked you up...you smiled so big at mommy and i melted into the floor. i could tell you were so stimulated by the other "big kids" and that you are gonna love being the only baby there. Momma thanks God everyday for what a godsend Miss Erikka is. You have done so, so weel there and mommy can tell you are developing new social skills because of it. Makes mommy proud.
Mommy went back to work when you were 12 weeks old. Mommy is just working two days a week and it has been so good for mommy. Mommy feels like she is a better mommy on her days off and enjoys you that much more. It has been good for mommy socially and mentally to have two days at work.
Mommy is about 8 pounds away from her pre-preggo weight, and is fine with that. Momma hasnt started working out again, but knows it will come as I have been finding more balance. Momma eats like a 500 pound man due to breast feeding and actually enjoys eating whatever she wants haha. All momma's pre preggo clothes fit....yay!

Daddy: This has been the hardest month on Daddy. He has been a beast at work and works even harder as your daddy. We are working on finding daddy more time to do some of the things he likes (working out, reading, etc). Daddy is still adjusting to our new routine. He loves you so much little girl and is such an amazing daddy and hubby to his gals. He puts us first in everything he does and mommy didnt know she could love him this much.
He still gets up with mommy at night and helps out and even did one night solo because momma was so tired. Daddy has also been sad this month as his momma went to Heaven just a few days before your turned three months old. While we celebrated mamaw's life....everyone told us over and over how much she talked about you....her only granddaughter and how much she loved you.

Pups: the doggies are officially no longer sleeping with us. bailey tends to sleep on the couch and Uggie sleeps in her bed in the floor. they are still adjusting to you. uggie is very, very interested in you and we have to watch her because she can get too close to you. she loves to lick your fingers which momma doesn't love because your hands are in your mouth more. bailey doesn't seem to really notice you that much haha....I think he will as you can interact with him more.
Social/Visitors: your smiles and coos are my favorite. you are interacting so much more with mommy and daddy and we love how awake and interactive you are.
you also love interacting with nana.....and give her the same big smiles you give momma. your uncle Charlie is doing so well with you too. him and aunt britty are your second most frequent visitors next to nana. you don't mind being held by other ppl as long as they are standing up and moving around with you.
happy hour dates with daddy
shopping trips to rookwood, Crestview Hills
frequent brunching at First Watch
Life: month three was full of highs and lows. momma and daddy celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary and spent the night away from you while you stayed with nana and poppy. momma and daddy needed it. we ate and drank our way through downtown Cincy and momma had her first pump and dump experience....it was glorious!
Your sweet mamaw went to heaven this month and momma and daddy were away from you for almost a full week and that was really, really hard on both of us.
you had your first thanksgiving and were such a cutie!
you also had your three month photos taken this month and they turned out amazing!!

Milestones: eating your hands, recognizing faces and voices, reaching for dangling objects and holding toys in your hands, more head control, smiling, more and more cooing, noticing bright colors, spending the night away from mommy and daddy with nana and poppy, finding your voice, pulling your self forward when sitting

I am Alecia used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes…i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Dr Abalaka); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn’t mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I’m sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as dr.abalaka@outlook.com He travel sometimes.love marriage,finance, job promotion ,gambling voodoo,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,it’s all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
more. his cell phone number 5182932141 his website is coming up soon!
