Henry is 3 months old!
**You're quickly approaching 13 lbs, which means you'll soon grow out of your size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.
**At night, you typically wake to eat every 4 hours, but have ocasionally slept as long as 6 hours.
**Our goal is for you to eat 3-4 oz every 3 hours, and while you typically take only 2-3 oz, you're getting closer. Meanwhile, we add a small scoop of formula to your milk to ensure you get enough calories.
**You enjoy bathtime and your play mat, and still like your pacifier.
**You're right on track with your fine motor skills, such as cooing and smiling, but about a month delayed with your gross motor skills, like holding your head up during "tummy time". This is to be expected, though, given your extended hospital stay. With some time and a little extra attention, you're sure to catch up.
**Your eyes are becoming a brilliant shade of blue. I love that both my babies have their daddy's eyes.
**Last week, you were officially discharged from Spectrum Health's Continuing Care, which means no more weekly visits with Nurse Ruthie, Nurse Nicole and Speech Pathologist Dawn. You're doing great, Buddy! I can't wait to see what this coming month holds for you!
