James is 3 months old!

James is now 3 months old!! And I haven't blogged since he was 2 months old, ugh. I suck! I will do better, I will do better!

Weight: I weighed him at my breastfeeding support group today and he was 14 lbs 13 oz! He is up a little over a pound since last month. Still in size 2 diapers.  

Health: Seems to be completely healthy to me. Thankful for good health!

Sleep: Sleep has gone down hill, Mr. James. What is going on? growth spurt? wonder week? who knows, but I am not feeling it. He was doing so well with his 8-4am routine and all of a sudden this past week he is back to getting up around 1am, then again at 4/5am, then at 6/7 for the day. I hope this trend does not continue! Perfect timing too, right when I go back to work and have to wake up at 5:45 as it is. arg.

Clothes:  He wears 3 month onseies and pj type clothing and 6 month bubbles, shortalls etc.  

Social: His personality is showing more and more every day and its so much fun. I love watching him stare at his toys and gab and coo. He definitely knows who his mom, dad and GiGi are!

Diet: Breast milk! We have made it over a month without supplementing and I am so glad we are finally here. He nurses every 2-3 hours for the most part. Breast feeding is so much easier now and I truly believe anyone can be successful at it. Lord knows our journey was not easy!

Baby Gear Love: Still LOVE the Rock-N-Play sleeper. The Mamaroo has made a come back and we are obsessed! He uses it every single day and I am sooo glad we have it. The bouncy seat doesn't really do it for him anymore so if I need to do something around the house the Mamaroo is perfect. Love the PUJ tub, love the Bob, O-ball, and several Lamaze toys.

Crying: He cries when he's hungry and sleepy and when he gets out of the bath, in his car seat or put down and wants to be held. I think he is getting older now and wants to be played with all the time. Sometimes while I'm playing I will stop and do something and he will start crying like come back! Pay attention to me!

Likes: Baths, BOOBS, being swaddled, the mamaroo, fans, being worn in the baby carrier, and napping on mom and dad!

Dislikes: Still doesn't love the carseat, getting out of the bath, loud noises or getting too hot. 

Postpartum: Still kicking it. Trying to figure out how I can diet and lose weight and keep my milk supply up. It's so hard. I have to take in a ton of extra calories to make milk so losing weight is NOT easy. My OB doesn't recommend dieting at all, just "making better choices". I want to do weight watchers after I stop BF'ing to get this weight off.

Milestones: He rolled over! He rolled over from back to belly and has done it a few times actually. His head control is improving and he's almost totally there with that but still needs a little help.
