3 Months

Griffin is three months already! We have gotten back into a good routine and hopefully it'll last for a while now. 

I started sleep training a little over a week ago. It got to the point that once we had him asleep and put him down, he'd wake right back up. For his naps, I was able to put him down drowsy and he'd fall asleep on his own, but that became a thing of the past and he required to be rocked to sleep and that became harder since Kort has started getting into everything once I left the room. SO, I started what I did with Kort. The Good Night, Sleep Tight book. The first night I had to pick him up after him crying for over an hour. Second night he finally fell asleep on his own after an hour and a half. Next night was 45 minutes and got less from there. However, he's not as easy to just sit next to the crib and try to comfort by patting and shh ing. So the book says with those babies sometimes they do better without you in the room and just make quick visits every 15 minutes or so. That's what I've began having to do. I'm trying to work on getting him more drowsy so he doesn't cry as long. Last night he only cried for 10 minutes and he was out! So it's definitely getting better. And with this, he's sleeping through the night! His naps are about an hour or more now also! He cries a little for his naps but it helps him sleep longer since he falls asleep on his own. We also just moved his pack n play into our guest room and he's been still sleeping great. He may be in there for a while until Kort is ready to share a room. He wakes up around 9, awake for a little over an hour, about hour and a half nap. Takes usually 3 good ones and sometimes a short 30 minute one late afternoon/early evening. Bed time has been around 9:30 but I'm trying to make it a little earlier. 

Griffin has rolled over a few times from his belly to back. He likes to scoot on his belly already. I put him on his blanket and when I go back to check on him he's already off of it! He loves kicking his feet and has giggled a few times. He is very vocal now and jabbers nonstop! He's gained probably about another pound since his checkup and is 14 something! He's already wearing clothes Kort was wearing at 6 months. It's not like he's a super chunk and he only nurses about seven minutes each side. He's just a lot different than Kort. 

Things are going well though. He's getting to the point of starting to hit lots of milestones like more laughing, rolling over, and then sitting up! I'll take it week by week though :)
