3 Month Milestones

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!
