Cooper Man: 3 Months

Weight: About 8 1/4 lbs. He was 7 lbs 7 oz two weeks ago. I've done the bathroom scale trick and it showed 8lbs one days and 8 1/2 a few days later so I'm splitting the difference.

Height: Tried to measure at home and he was around 21 inches.

Clothing Size: Still newborn size but they are starting to get tight. I'm doing a last run though of all his clothes before I start with the 0-3 month ones.

Diaper Size: One day I got bored and decided to try out his Bumgenius one size diapers to see if they fit. Low and behold they did - with no leaks. So he's officially wearing them. We are loving them and have really had no issues.

 

Feeding: About 2 days after his 2-month birthday we officially ditched the nipple shield. There's been no looking back since, and it's been amazing! In the beginning of the month he was still taking one bottle a day, but after a few weeks I just got so sick of dealing with it that we switched 100% to nursing. Since then he's had maybe three bottles just when I've gone out and about. So much less spit up and overall a more happy baby. It's been great. He nurses about every 2-3 hours for about 20 minutes at a time. We've had a few days where he's done some clutter feeding, but over all, it's been pretty easy.

Sleep: About three weeks ago we started a more structured bedtime routine, and that's really helped things. Every night around 8:30/9 we do bath, jammies, swaddle, boob then bed. Sometimes he'll need rocked, sometimes not. He'll then usually sleep a 4-5 hour stretch then wake up every 3 hours from then on. During the day he takes about 2-3 naps anywhere from an hour to three. So overall, he's doing pretty good.

Milestones: After many a months of waiting we finally got a smile from the little man. I cried, it was so amazing. He's starting to give us more and more each day. It's great. We've also gotten a few Coo's from him, which is so freaking cute. Looking forward to more of those.

Loves: He spends most of his days in the swing, so I'll say he likes that. He's started to really like the bath, just not the getting out part. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, the kid loves his paci. Helps him go to sleep, so I don't mind. Also, loves car rides - usually passes right out.

Dislikes: Still dislikes getting his diaper changes. Also, getting out of the bath. He also dislikes being hungry! The kid will scream until he get's his boob

New Adventures: This month's big thing is he's met and been held by every single of his grandparents - all eight of them! He also celebrated his first major holiday - Halloween.
