Baby Girl is 3 Months

My little darling is 3 months old and her eyes are as blue as ever still. High hopes there! She is battling infant eczema and I have now discovered through on line research that maybe I should bathe her every day rather than every 3 days. We are lotioning her up twice a day and her cradle cap is still there. I learned that cradle cap is also a form of eczema however the methods I have heard and used for it are not things I would do to normal skin eczema. Anyway, she still consistently sleeps at least 6 hours a night and then some after nursing. She also only takes about 30 min naps like 5-6 times a day. I wish  she would sleep longer. My efforts to extend her naps have been futile and NEVER work. So I give up. She will figure it out eventually and then once she is 6 months I will do more intense sleep training and she will be more developmentally able to fall asleep after the 30 minute wake up cycle during naps.  She should be able to sleep 1.5 to 2 hours per nap.  I really hope she figures it out soon. She is a joy in our home, smiling, cooing, almost laughing, focusing intently on her delightful toys. It is great fun.

 I recently reinjured my back so things are a bit more challenging and I don't have as much stamina with helping Carly fall asleep in her bed but I just need to figure out a good exercise that will strengthen and not strain my back. I strained it while running and I'm pretty sure the first time around I strained it while running too. Lame. Maybe yoga would be better. I will have to see what other people think.

But anyway, I have made it through the newborn phase and she is officially just a normal little infant lol. Love her!

Oh and a little tidbit about Grant, he is getting really good at taking pictures. It is really funny. He can point and shoot well and he takes pictures of everything. He got really excited and showed me all his pictures like of the refrigerator and stuff lol. Also its probably the only time there are going to be pictures of me ever doing my day to day life during my years of having kids, you know because I'm the only one who is usually taking pictures.

Just got a haircut!
