Adeline Virginia - 3 Months Old

Date: October 4th, 2014
Height/Percentile: Not sure
Weight/Percentile: 17 lbs 2 oz (according to my at-home scale)
Sleeping Patterns: Adeline cluster feeds from about 6:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and then sleeps until 6:00 a.m.! Very rarely, she'll wake up to nurse during the night! And I am LOVING the sleep! She'll nap after her morning feeding, and then nurse and sleep every two to four hours during the day!
Eating Habits: Breastfeeding on demand! She's quickly changed from only nursing on one side to nursing from both sides! She gets very angry in-between sides! She hates having to be burped, but if she doesn't, then she'll projectile puke all over! Mommy only wants what's best for her! Even if she sounds as if she's being starved!
New Discoveries: Cooing/talking to get attention as well as crying/wailing to do the same! She's discovered that if she reaches her hands out far enough, she can touch the toys that hang from her floor play-mat!
Accomplishments: She has officially started rolling from her back to her side! And has rolled all the way to her belly a few times! I'm sure she did it the first few times last month on accident! It is happening more and more now, so I know it's because she's doing it on purpose! She has also started teething! There are no teeth in sight yet, but she LOVES to have her gums rubbed! She's started gnawing on her hands and hurting herself! Poor baby! I've found some smaller hand-held teething toys for her to chew/gnaw on instead!
Places Visited: We've taken Adeline to Church in Lenox for her name and blessing, to the Elementary/Middle school for a PTO meeting, SWCC for a Policy Council meeting, Imogene and Shenandoah for Mommy's half marathon, the Winter Quarter's Temple, and a few friends' houses!
Loves to: Suck on her hands(but Mommy and Daddy are trying to stop her!), talk and coo, take baths, breastfeed/nurse, kick her feet/legs with excitement, play in her play-mat, and smile!
Doesn't like: The car seat, tummy time, getting dressed/undressed, having to wait to be fed (even if it's for a few minutes!), the colder weather, and sudden, loud noises.
Milestones/Firsts: Giggling and laughing when getting tickled or loved on! Officially rolling from her back to her tummy!
What Mommy/Daddy love: Adeline's cheeks, chins, and thighs! Baby girl is seriously chubby and we cannot get enough of her! Our Squishy! We also love how vocal she's getting! She just loves to coo, talk, and make sounds! And we LOVE to hear her!
