Evan is 3 Months (LJ is 25 months or 2 years 1 month!)

November 14, 2012

Our sweet little one is 3 months old!

Eating: Evan is drinking exclusively breast milk but almost all out of a bottle. He typically drinks between 20-25 oz a day, in 5-7 bottles of 3-4 oz each. He usually eats every 2.5-3 hours.

Sleeping: We usually bath Evan right around 8:30pm, give him a bottle, read Goodnight Moon, and try to have him in bed (in our room in the Pac-n-Play still) by 9:30. I typically bath him, and Barrett usually takes over the rest of the bedtime routine. Most nights he sleeps from 9:30/10 pm until 5:30/6:30 am... But he does stir starting around 2:30 most nights.... I just have to turn his sleep sheep (sound machine that makes a heart beat sound) back on or give him a paci and he will drift right back out... I always do this a few times before letting him really wake up.... if possible until 6 am!
His naps are not really at set times yet, but he basically is ready for a nap about an hour to an hour and a half after waking. We have been very lucky with his naps as he usually falls asleep pretty easily. During the day, he typically naps on his nap nanny in the living room or in his caraway if we are on the go! His naps usually last about an hour, and he often takes one long mid-day nap lasting 2-3 hours.

Activities: He is a happy little guy, and loves smiling at you! He follows things with his eyes very well, and especially loves watching LJ and our dogs! He is getting very chatty- we hear coos, ahhs, little strawberry noises, etc... Precious little sounds! He has not rolled over yet, but he is finally starting to lift his head up pretty well during tummy time (for the longest time he would just turn his head and be content laying there!).
