I just realized I never posted Walker's 3 month post! Whoops!
Walker was 3 months on 1/29/14
Daily Life
We are still going with the flow. Walker rolled over on the day he turned 3 months (from back to belly). We have yet to see him roll from belly to back yet. I don't force a lot of tummy time on him though. He found his toes a few days before turning 3 months. He constantly has them in his hands now. It makes diaper changes a bit harder haha. He is fully in 3-6 month clothes, and 3/6 month sleepers. The 3 month sleepers are WAY to short for him. As for facial expressions, this kid is full of them. You can tell exactly what he is thinking from the look he gives you.
Sleep
We have a bedtime routine (that I am about to change!) We start our routine with a bath at 8pm, baby massage, snuggles, nurse/read a book. He is usually out by 9:30. He then proceeds to wake at about 4:00 and 6:00 each night. The time we wake up fully for the day varies from as early as 8 to as late as 11. Boy loves his sleep unless its a nap, then he hates it haha. I want to change the time back to bath at 7, bed at 8 but we just went through a sleep regression of waking every hour to hour and a half. I am hoping we are on the other fence from that one now. I don't know if I can take much more of that. So I am waiting another week or two to mess with bedtime.
Nursing
We are still going strong and honestly better then ever. He is still stuck on using the shield, but to be honest it doesn't bother me much anymore. I enjoy nursing so much. It rarely hurts now (it took a whole lot of praying to help with that) and I no longer feel like giving up. There were a few days when I really considered quitting due to the pain. I even saw a lactation consultant who didn't help at all.
Right now we are debating when to start solids. I am wanting to wait until 5 months, but I will take the pediatricians advice into consideration. Walker is just doing so well with breast milk that I don't see the need to start solids just yet. I am buying all the equipment to make the food myself starting next week! I will post about that as it goes along.
