3 months

You'll be 3 months old in 3 days.We've had a lot of fun this past month.We went to the beach a couple of times.You smile a lot.You're getting slightly better at naps.You enjoy being on your back, but you're getting better at tummy time.We went to Disneyland.We had family come and visit.I've dressed you and your big brother alike a couple of times. (You don't seem to mind it as much as he does.)Your nighttime sleep patterns are unpredictable. Sometimes you wake up and want to eat once, sometimes twice, sometimes it just takes a pacifier to get you back to sleep, and sometimes you sleep 8 hours straight. I'm looking forward to when I know what the nights will be like consistently.

I'm wondering if you hate being swaddled. 'They' say every baby loves it, but you can work your way our of the tightest wrap. Sometimes if we have an early feeding I don't re-wrap you and you seem to love having your arms up and/or sucking your hand. Swaddling has always been a tricky one for me.

You only take the pacifier (day and night) about half the time. I wish you loved it, because when you take it, it calms you right down.

You hate your car seat. Garrett hated it too, but would fall asleep after a couple of minutes. You probably only fall asleep about 25% of the time, and if you won't take your pacifier, you cry the whole time.

We took you to the Instacare this past Friday night because you had a rough week, and a particularly rough day of inconsolable crying. The doctor says you have Colic. Not fun. But we got so tummy drops that seem to help and the past couple of days haven't been so bad. You got weighed at the Instacare and you weigh 11 lbs. 12 oz. A couple of the nurses offered to keep you until you outgrow the Colic, but I think I can handle it...and I can't handle being away from you, tears and all!
