3 months old

Zoey is 3 months old (14 weeks to be exact) and she is just blossoming. She is 12lb 11oz right now. Her colic is finally getting under control... she's happier and so interested in the world around her. She has thrush right now but it's not really bothering her. It's not spreading at all, it's just thickening in the same spot on the back of her tongue... no diaper rash to go with it either. She's on some meds for 10 days and she loves how they taste. She's so funny. :)

I am excited to start her on food, although I'll [probably] wait until the 4 month mark... I am toying with the idea of pureeing some bananas with breast milk, per my mother-in-law's recommendation! I just want to be sure she is sitting up even better in her bumbo before we do this. She is very strong, but I don't want to risk her choking. It excites me to think of introducing Zoey to new foods... seeing if she is as adventurous of an eater as Glenn and I are. So far she's pretty open to any type of nipple and whatever substance we give her, be it breast milk or a specific type of formula. She hasn't had any bad reactions yet and she just goes with the flow! (ha ha... "the flow"... get it?)

She is putting weight on her legs all the time right now. She likes to arch her back so that I will stand her up... I wish she'd slow down. She's soooo strong for her age. I'm definitely proud of her... you wouldn't know she was a preemie. I just wish she'd stop advancing so quickly, haha. She is pretty closing to rolling over in both directions... belly-to-back and back-to-belly... she can get on her sides pretty well in both directions, she just can't figure out how to move her arm out of the way. Right now, she just loves to stand and look around at everyone. She's adorable and I love her.
