3 Months Old

Sienna is now 3 months old.  The time seems to be going by faster than it did with Ethan.  She is a lot smaller than Ethan was at this age (12 pounds compared to his 15), so it’s hard for me to believe that she is already 3 months old.  I remember that Gary and I thought things got a lot better with Ethan at 3 months.  I think some of it is because he went to a 4 hour nursing schedule then.  That won’t be happening with her. :-)  She basically nurses every 3 hours during the day, and I don’t see her moving to a 4 hour schedule anytime soon (at least not for every feeding).

She still sleeps well at night.  We put her down for bed around 8:30 or 9:00 and then have still been waking her for the late night feeding (between 10 and 11).  She eats a little and then goes back to bed, so we will probably start working on getting rid of that feeding before too long.  She typically wakes up between 7:30 and 8:30, though, I tend to wake her a couple of days a week if she’s not awake by a certain time.

Her naps are getting better which is nice.  I was afraid that they were going to be like Ethan’s, which were short.  This still may happen, but it seems not. We love her big blue eyes. It’s so hard to believe that Ethan’s hands were once the size of hers.  And just 2 years ago!  I enjoy watching her respond to Ethan’s voice.  Sometimes I think she responds more to his voice than mine or Gary’s. As you can see Ethan is doing well too.  William came over last Saturday and managed to stay a bit more clean than Ethan. It took quite a while to get all of the dirt out of Ethan’s eyes.  I think he looks like a raccoon here.
