Noah Asher – Month Three
Our family has been sick all weekend and I just now realized that Noah is 3 months old today! I’ll have to take his 3 month pictures tomorrow since he’s already in bed but here is an update.
Weight: 18lbs (approx)
Clothing Size: 6mo+
Disposable Diaper Size: 3 (we use sposies at night)
New Skills:
- Rolls from Back to Tummy
- Rolls from Tummy to Back
- Working Ab muscles with daily crunches
- Can “sit-up” on his own for about 5 secs
- Excellent neck control
- Learning to use hands
- Kicks to bounce his bouncy seat hence rocking himself to sleep. (AWESOME!!!)
Sleep:
Noah still sleeps in the bed with us. He goes to bed around 7:30 – 8pm each night. Wakes around 12, 3 and 6am to eat. Usually wakes for the day around 8am. (Since he sleeps in the bed with us I barely wake when I feed him so I’m not 100% certain of these times.)
Nap times are becoming more defined. Usually a short morning nap from about 10-11:30am then a longer afternoon nap from around 2:30/3pm till 5ish. Sometimes there are just a few shorter naps and other times it’s one big long nap. (I prefer the big long naps)
Eating:
Noah is a happy baby when he’s well fed and has a clean diaper. Without really thinking about it we got him on the Eat, Play, Sleep schedule which is pretty nice. Jude was an Eat, Play, Eat, Sleep kind of baby. Noah is also a very efficient nurser. He only nurses one side per feeding for about 10-15 min. Jude was a both sides for about 20 min each kind of baby. Noah also doesn’t like to nurse when he isn’t hungry. And doesn’t want the paci a lot either. If he takes the paci it’s when he sleeps.
Life with Noah:
He likes to cuddle a LOT! And since I don’t think you can spoil a baby I usually cuddle him as much as I can. He spends a lot of time in the Boba carrier when we are at home and he often falls asleep there.
He likes to spend time in his bouncy seat and on his play mat. He also enjoys watching Jude, from a distance. You can tell he gets a little nervous when Jude gets too close because he’s already experienced a few accidental falling on or flailing limb incidents.
Ok, that’s about all for now. 3 Month pictures tomorrow but for now enjoy these:
