Parker 12 Weeks Old

She has been a healthy baby thus far. At about 5 weeks old, she started getting fussy and irritable and so we figured out that she was having acid reflux. It took us a while to decide if that was the problem.  She would act like she was hungry all the time and that was because the milk soothed her acid.  Anyway, we finally put her on a prescription and she is so much better.

I have really enjoyed her different stages through the past 12 weeks.  She struggled with nights, like all babies, but she finally figured it out around six weeks.  Before that, she would wake up for her night feedings and stay up for at least an hour or more  before settling back down. She is almost 3 months old and she is doing great at nights.  For about the past 4 days, she is going 8 eight hours before her next feeding and she will go right back to sleep.

I love to hold her and for the most part, I have things figured out with her.  I think that my age is coming into play and I seem to be more patient and not as structured with her.  I enjoy holding her till she falls asleep. She is also really starting to interact and smile often.

 She has been smiling for a few weeks now, but just this week, she will smiles constantly as you talk to her.  She also wants to talk back to you.  She is very active and she loves to kick and move her arms a lot.  She
 also just found her hands this week and she loves to put them in her mouth.
