Little Wood: Olivia Dell: 3 Months

Height/Weight: If my measurements prove correct, Olivia is nearly 24.5 inches! i could tell she was getting bigger when i see other people hold her and she looks so tall. i don't have a scale at home so i don't know how much LW weighs at the moment, but i'm guessing at least 11-12 pounds based on how heavy she's getting! she is definitely filling out, and i especially love her chunkier thighs. she's not my little string bean anymore.

Feeding: I thought Olivia was gradually weaning to more ounces last month but it really didn't happen until this month. She went from 4.5 to 5 to 6 ounces all in 1 month! she also only takes 5 bottles a day and can go 4-6 hours during the day between bottles. she's getting to be a big girl, and tries to hold her own bottle when she can.

Clothing: so sad, we are officially out of all newborn clothes, even pants. for awhile i could still get her into the NB ones, but now they are just capris. pretty much all 0-3 month clothes fit her well, except Circo which is still baggy, Gerber which is getting tight, and Carters which are sometimes too long. i can't figure out how clothing manufacturers label. Oh, and she can fit in Old Navy 3-6 month short sleeve onesies, but not the long sleeved ones- they are too big. random!

Sleep: Olivia is getting into a sleeping routine and it's glorious! On Sunday, May 19th 2013 she slept through the night! yes, i will remember that day forever. of course, I didn't sleep through the night because now i've been conditioned to wake up all the time. but still. it happened. She's only done it once since the first time, but now i know it's a real possibility for the future! she is consistent with her morning nap and has now added a decent afternoon nap that can be up to 2.5 hours! then she takes a quick 30-45 minute evening snooze and is pretty good about going to bed at 8:30. The other day we kept her up til 9:30 and she was beside herself with exhaustion. now we know!

Milestones: i consider sleeping through the night a huge milestone. she also held her head up for an extended period of time during tummy time, even though she still hates it and screams her head off the entire time. she is getting really good at holding her head up while on my shoulder, and will only go in my baby carrier facing out because she wants to see what's going on, despite the fact that she's not in complete control of her neck yet. big girl. she's also become quite the drooler, loves to talk/scream playfully, and likes to blow bubbles. i'm hoping teething is still some time away!

Firsts: Olivia still has so much to experience! This last month, she had a ton of new firsts. She had her first trip to South Coast Plaza, first trip to the movies (to see Iron Man 3, which she slept through the entire time) and her first real road trip to Solvang for a wedding. Oh, and she went to her first wedding. Of course, as mentioned before she slept through the night, went to the church nursery for the first time, and the coup de grace: her first Dodger game! (sorry for all the car seat pictures! we were on the move a lot this last month!)
