Blair is 3 Months old!

Blair~

Today you turn 3 months old.  Each month, I write to you during the time that you were born-9:45 am.  You have blessed our lives for 3 months on the outside and we love you more and more each day.  You have been a great baby and we love to watch you grow.

You are in size 1 diapers.  You still have some newborn clothes that you wear, but mostly you wear 0-3 month or 3 month.  I think you are around 10- 10 1/2 lbs, but not really sure.  You don't go back to the doctor until next month! During the day you take 3 bottles at Grandma's and at home you nurse every 2-3 hours during the day.  Your bed time is usually around 7:30-8 and you wake up around 2am and quickly go back to sleep.  You have slept through the night a couple times and the uninterruped sleep was glorious! :)

You are very alert and will look in the direction of either Mommy or Daddy talking.  If you are upset and hear our voices you will settle down.  You love to lay on the floor and kick and squirm and you are very close to rolling over.

This week you have been a little fussy, but you had a bump on your gums and were running a slight fever.  You love to chew on your hands and the frozen teething ring, so we think this may be the starting of your teething.

In the last month, we have gotten to do a lot of fun things.  You celebrated your first Easter, you went to Bass Pro Shops for the first time, you got to spend an evening with Abbi and Brian, and we went on a lot of walks when it was nice.   Last night was your first real Spring storm and it was a doozy!

Blair we love you and the changes that take place daily are amazing.  We are so lucky to be your mommy and daddy!

2 Months

Blair-

You are 2 months old.  We will say this every month, but it has flown by.  At your 2 month check up you were 9 lbs. 1 oz. and 20.25 inches long.  Your doctor says you are a great, healthy baby, but just a peanut.  You are in the 5th percentile for your weight.  At your appointment you got 3 shots.  You cried the worse cry we have ever heard and broke Mommy's heart!  You are still in newborn diapers and newborn clothes, but they are quickly getting small on you.  You are still a great eater and are still breastfed, you do get bottles but have no problem going between the two.  Mommy is very happy about this and very happy to have a brestfed baby!

Over the last month, you have been awake more and we are loving it.  We have a schedule pretty set and your awake times are always the same.  We love that one of your awake periods is in the eveing and we get to spend it with you.  You love to lay on the floor with Mommy and Daddy and Kuba and just smile and make noises.  Your smiles are the best!  Kuba loves to give you kisses- Mommy and Daddy are always close by.

On your 2 month birthday Mommy had to go back to work.  You stay with Grandma Iverson during the day.  Mommy takes you before going to work and Daddy picks you up.  Each day Daddy says that grandma and grandpa are home and we are pretty sure you are spoiled by them!  Uncle Mikey and Timmy like having you around too.  While with Grandma you take 3 bottles and have no problem thankfully!

 You have gotten to go with Mommy and Daddy lots of places and people love to see you- they always tell us you are so little and so cute!  You got to go to your first FFA Auction and did really well until it was bedtime.  We went home and you went straight to sleep.  You also went to the Flanagan Community Sale, but it was so cold we left after about 10 minutes.  On the last day of mommy's maternity leave it was really nice so we went on a walk- you looked adorable in your sunglasses :)  You also go to visit Grandma and Grandpa Pfoff at their works and made their day's!!

 

 

 

Baby Blair Smiles!

 

We love you so much tater-tot!  You are growing so fast and changing everyday.  We love that you respond to our voices and if you are upset you calm down if you hear one of us.  We cannot wait for all of the new memories that we will be making and all of your first's we get to experience with you!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
