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:

When Jude was born Joe had just started a new job and was only able to take off 3 days from work. It was pretty hard being stuck at home alone especially since I was stuck in bed for several days due to health reasons. However, when the baby napped I could nap, shower or…
I think we’ve made it through the 10 month sleep regression. It was a rough week but we’ve come out the other side fairly unharmed. Noah is learning all sorts of new tricks and his little brain is going 100 miles a minute which makes sleep nearly impossible for him. Last Thursday night Joe and…
Friday morning Joe and I were enjoying the last few minutes before we had to get up when in bursts a cherry 5-year old followed by his 2-year old brother. We’re accustomed to being awoken by Jude but we were shocked to see Noah bouncing in behind him. Up until that morning Noah was contained…
Last week Noah turned 7 months old. The same day my parents celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. It was a busy week as we prepared to have family visit from out of town so I didn’t get to post about it but I did manage to take a few 7 month pictures. I asked Noah…
Today we had Noah’s 6 month check up and I’m happy to report that he is 100% healthy and thriving. The doctor was impressed with his strong muscles and size. He is in the 90th percentile for his height at 29 inches. And he is in the 95th percentile for his weight at 21.5 lbs…
Yesterday Noah turned 16 months old! On Monday he had his check-up at the doctor and he is growing right on track. STATS 50% for weight and a little over 50% for height. weight: 25lbs height: 29.5 inches Number of teeth: 4 (he has a few more that look close to coming in but he’s…
