3 Months!

Caylee is 3 months old now!  Every month just keeps getting better.  Which is good, because I kinda panicked the first few weeks thinking I'd never get out of the house again!  I also panicked because I didn't know what her cries meant... now I know what they mean and she's a much happier baby since I usually know what she needs to fix the crying! :)  She is smiling a lot more, can hold her head up pretty well and is starting to interact with us more.  She still gets up once in the middle of the night, but I think it's only because we can't give her enough bottles during the day.  If she could just drink 5 oz at a time then I know she'd sleep the whole night, but 5 is just too much and we're short a few oz each day, so nighttime it is.  It doesn't bother me though because Matt still does the nighttime bottle. (He is a really great dad!)  I keep thinking that might end soon as his schedule is getting busier and more demanding, but we'll see.  She still takes great afternoon naps!  At least 2 hours, usually 3.  However, no morning nap for her.  She might doze on and off for 15-30 minutes,but that's not quality sleep.  She's wearing all 3 month clothes and will soon start fitting into some 3-6 month clothes... especially lengthwise, I think she'll get some of Matt's height for sure.  She has "friends" that are twins and 2 months older than her, but they are all about the same length and weight.  Granted, the twins were born VERY small, but still she's tall for her age. (according to the doctors anyways)

Here are some pics from the month!

These were taken at 10 weeks during that photoshoot at Matt's parent's house. 

These were iphone pics at about 12 and 13 weeks old

These  next few were taken with a friend's camera...

     *This pic is not staged, Diego only likes Caylee on his own terms, not forced- tonight he must have been extra tired and didn't mind sharing a pillow.
