Three Months - Nov. 20

Addison's third month was filled with many fun moments. She is becoming more and more interactive, which makes my days even more joy filled than they already were. Addison had her first Halloween in her third month. She dressed up in the cutest tiger costume that her Aunt Gabi got for her. She even got to wear it over to Nana and Grandad's one night, and Aunt Janelle was there so she got to see it too. Some things Addison has been up to lately...

• sleeping through the night consistantly. there are a few mornings she will wake up around 6:30, but most of the time she sleeps until 8ish.


• having to be woken up from most of her naps. I usually wake her after she has been sleeping for two hours, although sometimes I will let her go three hours if she didn't get a good nap that morning. (she does not like to be woken up!)


• will wake up and talk to herself for a few minutes in the middle of her nap. addison usually does this during her morning nap. she will wake up, smile, look at the monitor and babble for 10-15 minutes, and then back to sleep.


• sucks on her two middle fingers. she has learned to comfort herself by sucking on these fingers, and prefers her fingers to a paci.


• loves to stand up and look around. her legs have become very strong and she prefers to be standing up (with help, obviously).


• loves to look at herself in the mirror. will talk to herself for a long time when she is in front of a mirror.


• still wearing size 0-3 months, and size one diapers.


• is on a very consistant schedule, eating every three hours, waking up for about an hour, and napping for about two.


• has become very social while she is eating. If I answer my phone while she is eating she will stop eating and look up at me as if she wants to join the conversation, sometimes she stops eating just to get a smile from me, or flash me one of her own, and sometimes she likes to stop eating, "tell me" what is on her mind, and then go back to eating.


• went to the church nursery for the first time. this was way harder on me than on her, but she did great...she is just very tired on Sunday afternoons!


• has developed very distinct crys for the different discomforts in her little life.

YEAH for three months!! :)
