Liv 3 Months

Liv THREE Months

(note to self: these pics were actually taken on her 4 month birthday. I'm a little behind)

Oh I love this little girl! She just smiles and smiles and smiles! Every time I lay her down for a diaper change she laughs. I hear her laughing in the car seat while I'm driving too. She cracks herself up I guess!

She has done awesome with her sleep schedule. It's a night and day difference with her and Beck, and I'm sure most of it has to do with it being my second time to implement Baby Wise. I feel so much more prepared this time. It also helps to have an older kid around who needs my attention during the times she's supposed to be crying it out when I've just put her down for a nap or when she stirs during a nap. The time seems to fly while she's crying (and the most she's cried is 5 minutes) whereas with Beck I'd sit and watch the clock just trying to make myself wait one more minute to check on him. I did him an injustice going in there and "rescuing" him.

I've found TONS of help from the Baby Wise blog, "Chronicles of a Baby Wise Mom". That woman is a saint to have created a blog for us all to benefit from. I only wish I'd found it with Beck.

I can sum up the third month in 2 words... spit-up and poop. Dang this girl keeps me busy. It feels like all I do is wash onesies and burpies.

Not a very good pic of either child, but it was a funny memory... it was the first time Liv wore jeans and Beck was very confused. Apparently he thought only he wore jeans b/c he kept trying to take her jeans off and said "Beck's!" Very weird what they pick up on.
