Three Month Changes
misty · Thu, Nov 5, 2015I noticed today that Milo is trying to turn over when laying on her back. She picks one leg up and tries to turn her hips. She’s getting pretty good at it.
Milo and I took a trip to Cal. Academy this morning. I wanted to show her the aquarium and fish tunnel. We sat a while in front of the big fish tank, and soon it was in time for the feeding. So, Milo got to see a diver in the tank and the fish race across the tank as more food was deposited in the tank. I thought it was pretty cool, but Milo was more interested in people watching. There were so many kids around and so much noise - Milo just kept turning her head to see everyone. Occasionally she’s turn back to the fish and was transfixed there. It was nice.
After that, we went to the fish tunnel, where all the big fish and turtles swim over head and all around. I laid Milo on a bench so that she could see everything. Again, she mostly looked at the people, but there were glimpses of the fish.
In other news, Milo appears to be going through some 3-month changes. I’d heard that baby’s sleep changes when she reaches a certain age, but I wasn’t really prepared for it so soon. She’s been sleeping just a few hours right when we put her down, then she wakes up about every hour to 90 minutes.
I’ve got to admit, it has been hard the past couple of nights. Last night was the first night in a long time that I’ve gotten frustrated. At around 5am, I reluctantly woke up Chase to help me with her. Usually I try to let him sleep, only waking him to help swaddle occasionally, because he’s got to work and I get to nap during the day. Last night, though, I just needed help. Chase eventually got her to sleep (some time around 6am, I think) and he let me sleep until she needed to eat, some time around 7:30, I think.
I fed her, and she ended up sleeping again from around 8:30 to 10am. I think it’s time I start reading The Happiest Baby Guide to Great Sleep so that I can find out how to get a baby to sleep well after 12 weeks. Maybe things will change soon.
