Three Month Update

Three months old on 11/22/12, Thanksgiving Day!

Last week on Thanksgiving Day I turned 3 months old!  We were in Savannah, Georgia where Daddy's family lives, but more on that to come in a later post!  It's been a super fun month.  I've been busy learning lots of new things!

Three Month Stats
Clothes size: mostly size 3-6 months
Weight and length haven't been measured since I went to my 2-month check-up, but I'm definitely a growing girl!
Diaper size: 2
Hair color: Still dark brown, but getting a little bit lighter

Three Month Habits
Eating: I like to have a 5 oz bottle or nurse with Mommy about every 2.5-3 hours during the day, usually 5-6 feedings/day.

Sleeping: I'm sleeping through the night!  I go to bed at 7:30 or 8 and usually sleep until 5-5:30, when I get up to nurse with Mommy and then go back to sleep until about 7.  I'm still not very consistent at naps, though.  Some days I take a 2 hour nap in the morning and then another 2 hour nap in the afternoon, and maybe a quick 30 minute nap in the evening, and those are really good, happy days!  Other days I take 4 short 45 minute-1 hour naps, though.  Mommy and Daddy call me a fussy Hussey on those days.  Sleeping is hard work, but I'm getting it!  One day last week I was so tired after we got home from Savannah that I went down for a nap at 5:40 in the evening when Nana was babysitting me and slept all the way through the night until 5am!  I was super tired!

Play/skills:  I'm now really good at rolling over from my tummy to my back.  So good, actually, that Mommy has to work hard to keep me entertained on my tummy so I'll stay there instead of just rolling back over!  My favorite place to do tummy time is on the exercise ball.  I like to play with lots of new toys, now, especially my play gym on the floor.  It has little animals dangling from it that I can bat and try to grab.  I'm really good at batting at toys and I'm starting to try to grab them when I can figure out how to open and close my hand.  I also love to smile now and sometimes will even giggle a little bit.  I love to talk and coo all the time, and I've recently discovered my reflection in the mirror, which is so totally amazing!

Super baby!

Trick or Treat!

Ok, so this posting is a couple of weeks late.  November has been pretty busy for my family, so I haven't gotten around to writing about my first Halloween yet!  When we went to Atlanta, we saw my parents' good friend Evan.  He's a photographer, so he took some pictures of my family and some pictures of me in my Halloween costume.  For Halloween this year I was....

AN OWL!

I know, you're really surprised.  I have an owl nursery, owl blankets, and now an owl costume for Halloween.  Mommy made my costume, and it was really comfy!

I call this the shrieking owl :)

On Halloween night, I put on my costume again and helped Mommy and Daddy answer the door and handout candy to trick-or-treaters.  Those are kids who dress up in costumes and walk around the neighborhood and get free candy.  They don't even have to actually do any tricks!  I can't wait until I'm big enough to go.  I think I'm going to like candy!!!

When can I eat this stuff???

My First Plane Ride

Last weekend I got to go on my first big trip!  Mommy and Daddy's friends Emily and Jonathan were getting married in Atlanta.  I got to go on a plane ride for the very first time, and I did great!  Both times, on the way there and back, I fell asleep right before we got on the plane and then woke up and stayed calm while we were landing.  It was a strange place to wake up, but it was kind of exciting, too!

Awake at landing time.  "Where are we, Daddy?"

When we got to Atlanta, GiGi was there at the airport to pick us up, and so was my other grandpa (we call him Big Daddy), and my uncle Sean!  It was so fun to finally meet them!

We got to Atlanta on Thursday night and drove to a place called Alpharetta, which is close to Atlanta, where Daddy's cousins the Nalls live.  Then Friday morning, Mommy and GiGi and I went to something called a bridal luncheon for the wedding.  Mommy was a bridesmaid (those are the people who wear fancy dresses and stand at the front of the church with the bride and groom).  At the luncheon, I got to meet all of Mommy's friends from PT school.

...and Christina!

On Friday night and Saturday Mommy and Daddy were really busy with wedding stuff (apparently there's more to it than just a 45 minute ceremony!).  Daddy and I got to go with Mommy for a while on Saturday while she was getting ready with the other girls and taking pictures, and the rest of the time I stayed in Alpharetta at the Nalls with GiGi, Big Daddy, and the rest of the family.  My aunt Brennan even drove down from Athens for the weekend, so I got to meet her, too!

Hanging out with Big Daddy

It was a really busy, but really fun weekend.  Mommy and Daddy thought that I did really well for my first time traveling.  It was a little bit tiring and made me a little grumpy a few times, but overall it was super fun.  I can't wait to travel again to go to Savannah to see the rest of the Hussey family for Thanksgiving!  Not exactly sure what that is, but I think it has something to do with a turkey?  I guess I'll find out soon!

In the Atlanta airport with Daddy, all ready to go home after a busy weekend!
