Alison's Lessons - Week 13

Alison Jean is now 13 weeks old… she is so full of smiles and still as relaxed as ever. The days go by so fast, weeks even faster = it is hard to believe we are already starting to put away summer clothes and fall is here.

Alison sleeps all night. After a bath at 7 and then a little love and one on one time with mommy she goes in the swing and is fast asleep. As soon as Gracee is sleeping Alison is put on her belly in her crib.

Ali is stubborn… it took me almost twenty minutes to get her to eat from a bottle and she only took two oz. I knew she was starving and I didn’t think I had enough milk for her – she would rather tough it out and wait.

Jared wants Alison to ride in the van with us every morning even if she is just sleeping. Jared has to be in Mound City at 7:30 am for school, he loves to eat breakfast there, and usually Alison is back to sleep and doesn’t wake until 10 but he likes to look at her on the way.

Ali loves to be at home… we had a few days this week running around and Miss Ali didn’t get to sleep much ~ she really loves to know what is going to happen next (all my kids do). Not being on a schedule was different for everyone but I had to wake her up two different mornings at 7am!

Ali is started to sleep through the night, she goes to bed around 8pm and I wake her at 7am, then she is right back to sleep until 10am. Up for a little bit and then another nap! She is such a great baby.

Alison has found her thumb… and she loves it. Ali either has a really tasty thumb or she is just like her mama. We have our self a thumb sucker!

Three months old already – that just seems weird to even say out loud. I miss the tiny baby stages already but I also know how much fun there is to come. Every baby is different just like every pregnancy is different – we love learning all that Alison has to teach us. Thank you for reading, I will now be posting monthly lessons; Alison is going to become more active and need more mommy time and less napping. Month four will be here way too soon!
