RCV: 3 months old

Reed you are such a happy baby!
You are on reflux meds, but they don't seem to be working. So, we are putting you on Prevacid. You are really uncomfortable when you nurse lately. At 3 months you are only weighing 11.6oz... and your pediatrician is a little worried. So that is why we are trying the new medicine ($251/month!!!) and adding formula into your life. Apparently I make skim milk this go round. I don't get it.

So you nurse you then top you off with a formula bottle.
Then I pump.
We are going to fatten you up!
I have heard this motto... breastfeeding doesn't have to be all or nothing.
So, you can still breastfeed, eat formula, and get the best of both worlds.

You have mastered tummy time!
You have been rolling from your tummy to your back for a few weeks now. The first time you did it you cried like a little baby pig. It was so loud, you had no idea what you did, or why you were suddenly on your back!

You have the stinkiest toots. And still suffer from really bad gas pains. But I think they are getting less painful.

You are still sleeping through the night minus the weekend at Grammy's house. You just really wanted your own bed I think!?

You love to be among all the action in this house.  You laugh now,  and love to laugh at your brothers! You think they are great. Except mommy doesn't like that they stick their fingers in your mouth because they think it feels funny when you suck on them. Gross!

You love to look at books.

UPDATE: You apparently were very hungry my sweet baby. I have been giving you half and half bottles... and you gobble them. NO way I could pump 6 6-8oz bottles in a day.  At least you are still getting some breast milk! (about 15oz/day)

But you have quit sleeping through the night now you have this new found hunger. But you already look bigger to me since last Friday!
