3 Months

3months

My goodness... she is getting so big!!
She's officially bigger than Lion!!

Time flies!
At 3 months...
she is
sleeping 10-12 hrs a night...
a nursing champ...
still hates tummy time...
loves her Bright Stars play gym...
loves her dragonfly on her bouncer...
napping 3 times a day...
loves when daddy "growls"...
loves kisses on the lips...
discovering her toes every now and then...
sucks on her bottom lip to soothe herself...
still doesn't take a pacy...
developing a bald spot on the back of her head...
soooo close to laughing...
wakes up happy most of the time...
getting so good at holding her head...
loves to be in a sitting position...
loves to be rocked to drowsiness w/mama before naps...
loves to smile at mama while nursing in the football position...
loves to sit w/Daddy while he plays piano...

just to name a few things.
I have been horrible at writing things down...
I mean...
HORRIBLE...
so Im going to try and keep track of more things on here so I can reference back to.

My sweet friend is giving us a bumbo... just gotta go Monday to pick it up and visit for a bit!
She loves to be in an upright seated position.
She still hates tummy time but we do it w/her boppy and she is getting better.
She is really good w/her head so Im not really concerned too much about it.

We were at Josh's parents last nite and I looked through his baby book...
shame on me for not having one yet!
I NEED to get one!
Maybe this weekend.
I didn't keep track of her "firsts"...
like her first smile and stuff...
She came out and smiled right away...
but started socially smiling at about 3-4 weeks.
She started cooing at 6 weeks I think...
anyway... looking through Josh's baby book and photo album was so fun!
Josie' really looks like him and his sister Rachel when they were babies...
So not like me!
Maybe our next will look like me...
She will have curly hair though.
We wash her hair every night  w/head & shoulders b/c she has cradle cap and when we rub it dry, it's definitely going to be curly!
It's also thinning out quite a bit... poor thing!
Im hoping she doesn't lose it completely and it just fills in soon!

This week, her morning nap has been a good 2-3 hrs long!
Then her two afternoon naps are at least an hr long.
So proud of her!
And she goes down well too..
I just rock and cuddle w/her for about 5 mins til she is a lil more drowsy and I lay her down...and she is out...
I love that rocking time w/her.

Got a pretty HUGE client order coming in today/tomorrow!
So excited!
Our biggest order yet!!
We have SO much to catch up on on our Ulmer Studios blog.
The recent session is for the lead singer of RED... him and his wife and lil 4 month old lil boy.
We are so excited to share that session!!

Well, off to get read to go grocery shopping w/lil bit.
Have a GREAT weekend.
We have a session tomorrow...
hopefully it won't get rained out...

  1. Its so great watching them grow! My son is 9 weeks almost 10 and he hates tummy time too. He actually started rolling over from tummy to back at 5 weeks so we cant even keep him on his tummy. Oh and the bumbo is great Im sure she will love it!
    Have a good weekend!

    Its hard to keep track of all the little things. My SIL gave me a great idea and now that my son is 15 months, i am still doing it. Print off a blank calendar page, 8x11, or get a blank calendar. Put it with a pen next to wherever you nurse and jot something down each day. The boxes are small so you don't write a lot, but it helps you remember big things. I love going back and looking at everything...and it helps when you go back to scrapbook to remember all the details! :)

  3. I think you did a great job catching up on her firsts and milestones on this post!
    I have a lot of experience with cradle cap and the best way to remove it (if it gets really bad) is baby oil and a good firm tooth brush to scrub it. If you at the prevention stage no worries but we got to the icky stage and needed more serious help. Learned it when my twins were in the NICU.

  4. She's so beautiful!! JB had cradle cap too, and it went away rather quickly, so that is good. :) I think JB looks just like Jeff, but everyone says she looks just like me so who knows. haha!! I think as mommies, we sometimes see the daddy in our baby. I can see some of your features in little Josie. She's gorgeous! :) Congrats again!

  7. oh she is so sweet!!!! isn't it fun to see how they grow and change. the laughing and cooing are the BEST. our little one is 2 months old now and we are just loving the interaction. motherhood is an amazing and fulfilling journey! and don't worry about the baby book. we pretty much consider our blog our daughters' baby books. ha! our babies are of the technological age! :) love checking in on you and your little family. you are blessed!

  10. Wow! She is gorgeous! Just a hint on the cradle cap: before shampooing, use a tiny amount of baby oil and rub it in with a soft bristle baby brush. Wash as usual. I did this every other day and it helped so much!
