Libby is 3 Months

Well, she may have turned 3 months 2 weeks ago, but the weeks are just flying by with her! 

 

* She continues to grow..and grow..and grow!  She's a big 'ole baby!!!!  I'm sure in normal baby world, she's just average. I'm guessing she's around 12lbs or so.   But being that our 1st 2 kids were so small, she seems big.  For example, she's 3 months old and already wearing 3-6 month clothes..and even some 6 month clothes.  CRAZY!  Abigail was still in 0-3 month clothes in the summer!  So hand-me-downs may not work for Miss Libby this summer!  She's still in size 1 diapers, but we probably aren't too far from moving to size 2.

 

*I'm very proud to say she still isn't on formula.  I've been able to feed her and pump enough when I'm working to keep going...and we haven't even had to use any of our frozen supply yet!  Unforunately, our deep freezer blew a fuse and we didn't know so we lost almost 50 bags of frozen milk.  That was a ROUGH day...but we still have some frozen milk..and we are already 3 months in so I'm pretty happy!  My goal is to get to 6 months without formula..and then every dy after that will be a bonus...but 3 months was my inital goal so I'm happy!

 

*She is a happy, go-with-the-flow baby.  She definitely has her rough periods, especially from 5-7 in the evening.  But for the most part, especially during the day, she's so happy.  She has the cutest smile!  Abigail and Caitlin LOVE to make her smile!

 

*She speaks Polish!  Okay, that's a stretch, but Miss Bella (where she goes when mommy works...I can't call her a babysitter because she's wonderful and so much more...we call her the girls' Polish mama) speaks Polish around her and Libby smiles when Miss Bella speaks Polish to her.  It's adorable!!!  Apparently there is a Polish baby channel at her house and Libby stares at it if it's on!  The girls even sang Happy Birthday to me in Polish for my birthday, it's pretty cool! I'm gonna have to get Auntie Nay Nay to help translate for me soon, just like she did in high school when the cleaning ladies would talk when we came home from lunch and we learned they started swearing in Polish we were home because they had to clean...whole 'nother story!  :)

 

*She coos and it's adorable.  Caitlin never coo-ed and we don't really remember Abigail doing it, so this is definitely new to us and we can't get enough of it!  Last night she was coo-ing at dinner and we started video recording it, and it sounded like she said "Yeah" when Abigail talked to her....so cute!

 

*She goes to bed around 6:30pm and gets up at 2:30am for one feeding and then sleeps again till about 5:30-6:30 for one more feeding.  However, the last 2 nights, she slept from 6:30pm-5:30am, so we may be moving towards sleeping through the night.  I have very mixed feelings on that.  While sleeping is nice, I really really cherish our 2:30 time together and will be very sad when it's over.

 

I am a little behind on all things Libby.  I have to pick a christening date...I'm thinking in June when school's over!  And, we FINALLY ordered her birth announcements!  They haven't arrived yet and if I don't get them out by next week, they are going to make no sense (I'll post them here after they go out...or next weekend if they are late! (;  ).  So, to end Libby's 3 month blog post, here are some of the pictures I considered for her birth announcement that didn't make the cut!  Here's our Libs:
