It is astounding to me that I am typing up a 3 month update for Anna Claire. Where has the time gone?! This has been the sweetest time of my life being able to stay home with her. I will truly cherish these past few months forever! The countdown is on.. 11 days until I'm back at work. I just can't even talk about it so moving on to the fun stuff...
Weight
I'm not sure because we haven't been to the doctor in a month and don't go back until your 4 month checkup. If I had to make a guess I would say a solid 13 pounds and maybe close to 14. She fits well in her 3-6 month clothes. I doubt she will stay in them all the way to 6 months!
Sleep
She is a pretty good sleeper. We're still following Moms On Call which has worked. She naps several times throughout the day and sleeps 7:45-7:15 most days. She normally wakes up twice to nurse around 1 am and 5 am but you are so quick and go back down so easy I haven't even tried to get you to stretch it out longer.
Eating
She nurses every three hours during the day and every 4 or maybe one 5 hour stretch during the night. Our biggest change in this area will come when school starts back and you start taking more bottles. I'm d.r.e.a.d.i.n.g the pumping.
Milestones
This month Anna Claire has really started holding her head up more and looking around the room. She has the biggest eyes that you can tell are just taking it all in. She's observant just like her mama! The smiles have not slowed down at all. She is the happiest baby! She has also found her hands and you can find them in her mouth 80 percent of the time. This month you celebrated your first fourth of July, took a 5 minute dip in the pool and attended your first of many girls weekends!
Likes/Dislikes
Anna Claire loves being talked to, bath time and laying on her back on her tummy time mat looking at all of the dangling objects.
She does not like outfit changes after bath time or being tired.

I love you so much Anna Claire! My prayer for you this month is that you will always know how much you are loved by your Heavenly Father and by me. I pray you would grow into a confident little girl that never doubts her self worth. I pray you know you are the light of my world. Amen
