{Emmett's First Night In His Crib}



This little man slept in his own crib last night & he did awesome! We put him down around 8:15....He woke up around 3:30 and was a little scared I think. I went in there and he was looking around getting familiar with the place so I grabbed him and fed him since he hadn't finished his night bottle before dozing off. Then he put himself back to sleep at slept until 8 this morning! Our baby is growing much too quickly!

{Emmett Jeffrey: 3 Months}

Emmett has been growing by leaps and bounds this month!

He might be the perfect baby. I would like to think it's from my parenting skills but I know it's more his personality!

Emmett this month:

- Emmett NEEDS bath time and bedtime routines to function. Weird but true. We learned the hard way one time with skipping bath....

- After bath, bottle, book... we put him in his bassinet and he will lay there silent for 20 minutes and then fall asleep.

- He also sleeps for 10-11 hours at night now. Yes, you read correctly. Perfect baby, I'm telling ya. 8:30 pm- 7:30 am. It gives mom and dad much needed together time!

- He is officially teething. It might still be a while until we see any teeth actually break but he is loving gnawing on his fingers, his Sophie giraffe sometimes, and E's fave: mommy's fingers!

-He constantly squirms when he is awake. Arms and legs fly everywhere & he kicks his blanket and socks off constantly!

- He loves sleeping on his tummy-- now before any mommy's comment on how that is a no-no. He can lift his head enough to not suffocate and I only allow it for naps.

- He is recognizing mommy and daddy more and more and even smiles at other people now too. One of the happiest baby boys!
