3 Months Old!

In bed with Daddy on Saturday morning

Wake Up, Daddy!

Margaret finally enjoys the swing-
however, she still looks like a little peanut in it!


Yesterday Margaret Belle turned 3 Months Old!!! We can't believe how time flies. A week and a half ago, she weighed 7 lbs 12 oz. We are thinking that she probably weighs close to 8 lbs 6 oz now, since she has been gaining an ounce a day. We will have another weight check at the end of next week.

Margaret is so precious but quite the challenge. A few family members have shared with us that her father, Wade, was an extremely fussy baby (so was her Aunt Lolli). The poor thing has to battle reflux and a weak digestive system, so there are not many moments of contentment unless she is moving, sleeping, or eating. Some people tell us it will get better around 6 months--others say somewhere between 9 and 12 months. We just hate to see her in so much pain. Any advice out there?

She had a great day today. She even spent time in her swing (she usually hates it). So we will see. Each day brings new and exciting changes, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Violet did the same thing. Turns out we had to switch to Neocate formula after nursing, enfamil, AND nutramigen didn't work. Big Milk Allergy. She was a new kid after that. Margaret is beautiful!
