Three Months

Happy 3 Months Daniel!

Here are his stats:
Weight: 12 lbs 8oz
Length: 22 inches


- It has been a rough month for little Daniel. A few weeks ago he started getting really fussy and he wasn't sleeping very well anymore. He was also getting inconsolable and wasn't going to the bathroom as often as he used to be. The poor little guy was miserable so we took him to the doctor and he suggested we try soy milk. So we did that for a week but the soy formula ended up making him super constipated.  For a few days Daniel was so unhappy. He was crying all day and only sleeping once he had completely exhausted himself. He was never smiling and wasn't cooing and giggling anymore. So we took him back to the doctors and we started him on Nutramigen formula and he is doing so much better now. I hated seeing him so miserable and Mike and I were so tired and frustrated trying to find something that would work for Daniel and make him our happy baby boy again. It was only about 2 weeks of an extremely unhappy baby but it was more than enough. I'm glad it wasn't something more serious.

- He is such a strong little boy. He will grab onto our fingers and if we just pull on his arms a little bit then he will pull himself up into a sitting position. Also, he hates to burp so he will refuse to sit up and will just pull himself into a standing position!

- He still loves bath time. I love giving him baths! Its my favorite part of the day. He giggles and smiles and we "talk".

- Dan has discovered his fists and they are constantly in his mouth! Its so funny to listen to him sit and suck on his hands and fingers!

- He is starting to grab onto everything he can reach and of course try to eat it. He holds onto his toys, his pacifier, he tries to hold his bottle, he holds his blanket and us of course :)

- Dan loves to talk and be talked to. He is a little social butterfly. I love when I walk away and he bends his head back and squawks at me almost like he's saying "mom where did you go?" The only time he seems to be quiet and have a serious face is when the camera is on so I don't have any videos of his adorable talking but I'll catch him ;)

- Daniel is still super fun to take places. He does great in the car and doesn't mind being out and about which is great for us.

- He is sleeping well at night again and is really starting to get into a nice sleeping schedule at night and still sleeps on average about 6 hrs at night which is awesome.

- Now that he is feeling better he really only cries when he is hungry or when he poops his pants (he doesn't like to sit in it for long...can't really blame him on that one). He loves to be snuggled and he loves people which makes for a fun day of playing and talking.
 
"So done with pictures Mom" :)
We love our sweet Daniel! He is the best little boy and is so sweet and cute. We're so happy that he is feeling better so we have our happy Daniel back :) He makes each day better and makes us smile all the time!
