3 Month Update

I can't believe I haven't updated my blog in 3 months! Actually, I can believe it. Life with an infant and a 2 1/2 year old is BUSY! Right now Kaylin is watching her morning "toons" and Liam is asleep on the Boppy in my lap. :)

Liam is growing like a weed! He's in size 2 diapers and is wearing 3-6 month clothes. He eats like a champ and sleeps pretty good. He's still co-sleeping but we hope to move him into his crib for nighttime sleep soon. It's just so easy to nurse him and go right back to sleep. (I'm determined not to have him in our bed when he's 2 like Kaylin!) He rolled over from belly to back yesterday for the first time! It took him a minute, but he finally got all the way over. He enjoys sitting up straight and is trying out sitting in the Bumbo seat. He is not a fan of his car seat, unfortunately. He has a well baby appointment this month, so I'll be sure and post his weight and height.

Kaylin is doing great, too. She's fiercely independent right now. I know that goes with the territory at the age, and I do my best to be patient and accommodating. But, to be honest, sometimes I just want to do whatever it is myself just to get it done - especially if Liam is fussing and needs something. She's been really funny and imaginative lately. She'll tell me, "Good idea, Mama" when I suggest something she likes. (painting, going outside, etc) She regularly takes baths with Mickey and Minnie and calls Daisy on the phone. She'll hold her phone to her ear and say, "Yeah...yeah....yeah...bye bye Daisy." She's sleeping great - we read books, say goodnight, and she goes to sleep on her own. She hasn't figured out that she can get out of the bed on her own, so when she wakes up in the morning, she just calls for me. We're still working on potty training. She'll sit on the potty occasionally, but hasn't show much interest since Liam arrived. I'm tempted to try a weekend in big girl panties. Potty training is kind of difficult with a baby to care for, though. Can't exactly get up and sprint to the potty while breastfeeding!

I will post pictures soon. My camera has a ton of pictures on it, but something goes wrong every time I try to download. Seriously frustrating.

Little man's up. Gotta run!
