3 Months Old

Celeste was 3 months old yesterday.  We went to the doctor and she weighed 13 pounds!  She is a big girl!  Celeste has a mild case of acid reflux.  We are trying to feed her smaller amounts, but more often - so far that has just made her hungry.  Our next option is to try adding cereal to her bottles or trying an expensive specialty formula.  If she gets worse then we'll look at medication.  Despite her problems eating she is usually happy.  She likes to smile and talk and loves the kids.  She likes to be where everyone else is.  She still sleeps great at night and she still doesn't nap well, but is getting to be more independent.  Despite our efforts to help her use a pacifier she has her fingers and fist in her mouth every chance she can get!  We'll see who wins this one...

I crept into Celeste's room to get a 'sleeping baby' picture and this is what I found:  that's how she typically naps - awake!

I moved her out to the couch for a photo session

and she didn't really like having her picture taken

turns out she really was tired and really did need a nap!
