At 3.5 months, our dear Ella Rose has learned to flip herself over from back to tummy. We've only seen her go from tummy to back a few times, but she can definitely do it. There was a bit of a scare when she flipped herself over swaddled, so no more swaddling!
She's also learned to laugh out loud, which as you can imagine, is super cute. She especially loves being bounced around and climbing Mount Daddy and Mommy, guaranteed smiles and laughs. She's a pretty happy kid.
The teething process has begun, which means that she's drooling like a champ, gnawing on her hands like it's going out of style, and fussier than usual. You can see two small bumps where her bottom front teeth are emerging. Thankfully Shawnette recommended some herbal teething drops, which seem to help.
We're trying to cut down to four or five feedings a day, eating every 4 hours or so, and it seems to be working -- she's eating more and still sleeping through the night. We've also been trying a three hour nap in the middle of the day. Some days are easier than others, but she's definitely in a better mood when she gets more sleep. No matter when we put her to bed she's up by 7am, so we're working on an earlier bedtime.
