12 Months of Oaklee// Month 3

Weight: 10.8 pounds

Diapers: Size 1

Clothes: 0-3 months/3 months

Sleeping: Oaklee is now sleeping in her own room in a Moses basket for both naps and nighttime. She usually sucks on her binky until she falls asleep, and she is still swaddled for sleeping. At night she sleeps 7-7ish. About a third of the time she sleeps straight through the night, and the other 2/3 of the time she wakes up for a bottle. Although she doesn't do it all the time, we've never had a child sleep through the night at this young of an age, so it's been extra nice on the nights that she does. If she wakes up for a bottle, it's usually sometime around 3:30-5 AM. We no longer "dream feed" her, mostly because of laziness but also because she doesn't eat as often at night anymore so it wouldn't really change her night feeding time anyway. She naps 2-3 times a day. Her first nap is always the shortest, and a lot of the time her nap in the afternoon will be 3 hours long.

Eating: She eats 3 ounces of formula every 3ish hours during the day, and she often has a bottle of 3 ounces in the middle of the night.

Milestones: Good head control. First family vacation- camping in Utah for 3 nights. Starting to get some good altitude during tummy time. She has started to drool a lot.

Likes: Eye contact- continues to make her smile every time, sitting up is preferred over laying down, sitting in the bumbo

Dislikes: tummy time still isn't her favorite, her binky when she isn't going to sleep

Overall, Oaklee continues to be pretty easy going. She's content to just be around everyone and only fusses when she is tired or hungry. She is fairly quiet in the fact that she doesn't coo or talk a lot. She lets out a happy squeal and coos a little when you make eye contact with her, but for the most part that's about it right now. She is always willing to offer a smile to anyone who pays attention to her.
