Happy 3 months Edison!

Age: My baby is three months old, WOW! It's going so fast!

Weight & height: when I had Edison weighed a couple weeks ago he was 12lbs. I'm assuming that he's around 13lbs now or more! I'll weigh him soon. He's currently 60 cm long.

Clothing: All of his 3-6 month sizes & 6 month onesies are currently in his drawer. A couple 3 month pants are still fitting him around the waist but are a little short. I'm buying cute 9 month size clothes now when I find them at good prices. And if anyone has used 9 month sized clothes they want to pass on I'm more than willing to take them!!

Likes:
• jolly jumper
• sleeping on daddy
• his soothie soother
• Ollie the elephant (his stuffie)
• blue ball rattle
• lying down on his blankets to kick
• watching the tv
• funny faces
• his Ergo baby carrier (most days)
• sucking on fingers (his & ours)
• baths & kicking the water
• sitting up to look around
• sleeping beside me in my bed or on our couch
• smiling, cooing & "talking"
• being held upright

Dislikes:
• car rides (unless someone is sitting beside him in the car)
• tummy time
• waiting for boob
• dairy, HATES dairy!
• wet hair in the tub
• napping in his cradle
• being alone at any point in time
• gas bubbles & tummy grumbles

Development:
• holds his head up so well
• smiles really big & is starting to laugh/giggle too
• rolls over (so exciting!!)
• grabs things & holds onto them or puts them into his mouth
• drools all over himself
• leans forward
• "crawls" up your shoulder when you hold him
• more of a screaming type cry when he gets hysterical


Hows mom doing?: I'm doing great! Especially since I've decided to just listen to my boy and offer him milk whenever he's showing signs of possible hunger. It's obvious by the above photo that Edison has definitely grown in the past month. He hasn't even had formula feeds so that's all due to my milk production. I'm no longer stressed or worried about my production, now I'm just worried about whats in my milk. Since we discovered Edison's reflux problem we decided I would go dairy and gluten-free, it's been remarkable how different he is now! I've even had friends who have seen Edi at his worst testify to me how different he is now! It's not just me experiencing a different baby, others are too! We're sure its my diet affecting him because as soon as I accidentally consume foods containing gluten or dairy we can see the averse effects in Edison's behavior an hour or so after he eats. So the really hard days (when Edi reacts) keep me motivated to stick to my new diet and be extra careful. I hope I end up loosing some weight in the process too, that'd be nice.

I'm also reading wheat belly but I'll write a different post on that later.

Happy three months to my little guy, you're growing too fast my love.
