3 month May 2009 baby survey
|
|
Stealing this idea from the April group
1. How old is your May baby?
15w2d
2. Stats -
Weight: 16 lbs.
Length: around 24 inches
Clothing size: 3-6 months
3. Are they:
Teething? Not quite. Drooling a lot, though
Rolling? Yes
Sitting up on their own? No
Anything else you want to add? N is the smiliest baby I have ever had!
4. Have you started solids? If so, what was their first food? If not, when do yo plan on starting?
Nope, plan on trying at 6 months and seeing how it goes.
5. What are you looking forward to the most in the next month?
More rolling over, and more smiles!
6. New moms, how are you handling motherhood? For others, how has the transition to a bigger family been? How are your other children handling their new sibling?
Pretty well. It's not much of a difference from 4-5 (for me), so the transition has been pretty easy. The kids LOVE their baby brother, and often fight over who gets to hold him! DD especially. She calls him her "dolly", and is such a little mommy. My oldest DS is a huge help.
7. Pictures!
I only post pics privately

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs" -Thomas Jefferson

1. How old is your May baby?
14w6d
2. Stats -
Weight: guessing between 14-16 pounds
Length: won't know until 4 mos apt. I am guessing at least 24 inches
Clothing size: 3-6 months
3. Are they:
Teething? Don't think so. She is a drool monster though.
Rolling? She could if she wanted to. She rolls onto her side alot easily.
Sitting up on their own? No
Anything else you want to add? Very, very happy baby. I've never had a sleepless night with her. The worst night was she was up from 1:30 - 4 but was content to just hang out. She only cries if she wants held or is hungry. She really is a perfect baby.
4. Have you started solids? If so, what was their first food? If not, when do yo plan on starting?
Waiting until she is ready.
5. What are you looking forward to the most in the next month?
Everything
6. New moms, how are you handling motherhood? For others, how has the transition to a bigger family been? How are your other children handling their new sibling?
No issues at all other than trying to spend quality time with everyone. It is getting much easier. The boys are very much in love with their little sister.
7. Pictures! No new ones.

1. How old is your May baby?
12 weeks 4 days.
2. Stats -
Weight: probably about 12 lbs.
Length: I don't know. 23 inches a few weeks ago.
Clothing size: 0-3 months
3. Are they:
Teething? I hope not yet. She does drool and put her fingers in her mouth a lot.
Rolling? No, although I have put her down to sleep on her side or back and found her on her tummy a few times.
Sitting up on their own? No! Can any baby do that at three months?
Anything else you want to add? She was really fussy for a while and it was a good thing she was our third baby because we needed every trick we learned with the other two! But in the last few weeks she has mellowed out a lot and she is really happy and smiley now and pretty much only cries when she is hungry or tired. She is the most amazing sleeper! My first two didn't sleep through the night for over a year so I was expecting (and dreading) that again. She has been sleeping well since she was four days old and often sleeps up to 10 hours at night! I just hope it lasts...
4. Have you started solids? If so, what was their first food? If not, when do yo plan on starting? No. She is exclusively breastfeeding so far. I'll probably start gradually introducing solids around six months.
5. What are you looking forward to the most in the next month? Laughing! She is getting really close but not quite laughing yet. She smiles a lot when she finds something funny, and there have been a few almost-giggles. I can't wait until she really laughs. It will be so much fun for her brothers (and her parents!)
6. New moms, how are you handling motherhood? For others, how has the transition to a bigger family been? How are your other children handling their new sibling?
My boys love her. J struggled a bit at first but is doing really well now. He has been wonderful to her since day one, but I could do nothing right in his eyes for a couple of weeks. R totally adores her and wants to hold her and carry her around more than is safe right now. It will be wonderful when she is bigger and stronger and he can safely do more of that. It has been a bit intense having all three of them home full time this summer. My mom has helped a lot by taking the boys out to do fun things that I can't really do with a new baby. It will be very different when school starts in two weeks. J is starting first grade, so both boys will be gone for seven hours a day. I have very mixed feelings about that!

This is fun! Mom2RJA, I don't think any baby sits up at three months...I just copied and pasted this from the April forum (although, I don't think they would at four months either).
