Hard to believe this little sweet thing is three months old already. How did this happen? She's such a good little girl! We are so thankful for her!
Side note: Her appointment with the specialist went well. They said her blood issue is due to a dairy & soy intolerance, so I have to continue to cut those out of my diet. Her weight gain is slower than they would like too, (she weighed in at 10#3oz at her appointment; she was 9#8oz 5.5 weeks ago), so I'm supposed to be supplementing her with a dairy & soy-free formula. She hates it. Not sure if/when I'll be able to convince her that it isn't totally nasty! Any tips on getting her to take a bottle better?
Formula aside though, she is a healthy little thing, & I'm just thankful her blood issue wasn't anything more serious or long-lasting. She will grow out of the dairy intolerance by age one, they told me! Praise the Lord! In the meantime, I'm learning some fun new recipes & loving coconut! It was kind of hard to really be worried about it though, because she is growing. Look at those chubby cheeks! And she's interactive & seems very intelligent, probably way ahead of her age #firsttimeparent. ;).
She's discovered her feet & loves to rub them together & clap them like hands. She's trying to reach them, but hasn't quite got there. She did, however, roll over three times yesterday from her back to her stomach! So crazy that the fragile little newborn I held in my arms three months ago is so strong already. Her hands are still her favorite toy & soother. Her nails grow like wild; I can't keep them trimmed!
She's beginning to really hold her head up well. She doesn't mind tummy time. Also, don't you love how she lost all the hair on one side? Dar told me if she loses it on the other side, he's just going to cut all her hair off so she doesn't have a mohawk! :(. I try to strategically take photos from the other side.
And this face. What isn't to love?
I miss my little sweetheart!!
