3 Months

My little (or not so little) baby is 3 months old!! I can’t believe how fast the time has gone. I told David that I love the baby stage, I never want them to grow up. I then started talking about when we will have the next one. He told me that I just had a baby I should be happy with that. I am extremely happy, I just know that I’m not done having children and am already planning my future, my distant future that is. He also told me that he is worried that I’m never going to want to stop having children, he is afraid we will have a million kids. I told him that I’m sure my body won’t allow that. Anyway, enough rambling here are some pictures of my big three month old. By they way, 2 people this week have asked if he is 6 months.

He was sleeping like this, I don’t think it looks very comfy.

He loves taking baths. He is such a happy baby!

Sleep

We have been blessed with a baby who loves to sleep. He has been sleeping through the night for about 2 months now, and he is only 3 months old today! Lately he has been sleeping 10 or 11 hours straight. Our toddler, on the other hand, has never been a great sleeper during the night. He was close to a year old before he consistently slept through the night and that was only because we let him cry. Recently he has been waking up during the night again. Two nights ago he woke up at 3 in the morning and came into our room, I let him climb in bed with us. This was the first time he slept in our bed, may have been a big mistake. Last night he woke up at 4 and didn’t go back to sleep until 7ish, we did not let him get in our bed, he had to stay in his own room. So I am wondering if he is waking up because he isn’t tired enough to sleep through the night or if there is some other reason. He still takes a nap during the day, but I have to put him in the pack and play. If I put him in his room he just plays and never goes to sleep. The days when he naps it takes him a couple hours to fall asleep at night, but the days when he doesn’t nap he falls asleep quickly. So what do you think we should do. Give up with the naps? Or do 2 year olds still need naps?
