| 3 Months/13 Weeks |
 |
| 9 Weeks |
 |
| 10 Weeks - I can't believe the difference between the 9 week and 10 week pictures! She changed so much! |
 |
| 11 Weeks |
 |
| 12 Weeks |
- We had a doctor's appointment on August 24th and Sadie was up to 14 pounds, 12.5 ounces!
- She is wearing 0-3 month, 3 month, and a few 3-6 month clothes. All of her jammies are 3 month and she'll probably be in 6 month ones soon since she's on the tall side. Emery was the same way with PJs, always a size ahead. She's wearing size one diapers and will probably move up to size two before too long.
- A couple of days after she was 2 months, she started getting really fussy and squirmy for feedings and spitting up a lot more often. We thought maybe she was ready for a level 2 nipple, but that didn't help. Thankfully, we had a doctor's appointment two days later and found out she probably had acid reflux. The doctor prescribed Zantac and a different formula and she is so much better now!
- We moved her up to 5 ounces on July 22nd and up to 6 ounces on August 5th. This is around the time she started sleeping through the night more often which is why I think she started eating more during the day. She eats about every 3 hours, and just recently has started to go 4 hours between feedings every now and then, not consistently yet, though.
 |
| Her little hands are almost always in fists when she eats! |
 |
| Emery is quick to help! She loves to help feed Sadie! |
- We moved Sadie to her room on July 28th and she slept from 8pm-3am that night! That was the first time she didn't wake up to eat around 10:00. She hasn't woken up for that 10:00 feeding since we moved her to her room. She has continued to do so well in her room! She slept from 8pm-6:15am on July 31st, then from 8pm-7am on August 8th! She has slept from 8pm until 6-7:30am every night since then. Every now and then she'll wake up in the middle of the night for her paci, but we haven't had to feed her in the middle of the night for the last few weeks. Those first couple of months of her not sleeping through the night seemed long, but I also can't believe that we're already back to the schedule of Daniel and I having our evenings to ourselves. She was always so content, though, that we didn't mind her hanging out with us while we watched TV in the evenings. 💕
- Sadie has started to be on a relatively predictable schedule which is nice because I love a routine! She wakes up between 6:30-7:30 and is usually very smiley and happy! 💕 She eats, stays awake for a little over an hour and will take a nap anywhere from 45 minutes-2 hours {a shorter nap is more common}. She'll eat around 10:00-10:30, stay awake for about an hour and a half and take another pretty short nap, maybe 45 minutes to an hour. On a perfect day, I'll feed her around 12:30 and put her in her swing for another nap around 1:00. She's usually pretty tired by this time because most days she's only taken two short naps. This is also the same time Emery takes her nap, so when it works out, both girls will nap at the same time. Sadie will usually sleep until 3:30-4:00, eat again, stay up for about an hour and a half, then go to sleep for a 30-45 minute nap. We feed her her last bottle around 7:00, do her nighttime routine {diaper change, lotion, jammies, songs, rock, sound machine, lay her down with her paci}, and she's usually asleep by 8:00.

| Happy baby after sleeping for 11 hours straight! |
 |
| I love these morning smiles! |
 |
| She takes a long nap in her swing almost every afternoon! So glad she finally started liking her swing! |
- She really is a dream baby and really only gets fussy if she's hungry or tired!
- We got her a kick and play piano a few weeks ago and she loves it! She kicks like crazy and loves to look up at the mirror and toys. She's even started to grab at some of the toys. Emery loves the kick and play, too! 😂
- She has become the smiliest little thing! It is so easy to get her to smile and we all just love it! She's even started to do those smiles where she opens her mouth as wide as she can. So, so cute!
- Sadie has also started talking a lot! They are the sweetest little baby noises! She absolutely loves it when people talk to her, and she talks back a lot now. It's precious!
- She seemed to have a blocked tear duct a few weeks ago. Her eye was always watery and sometimes a little crusty in the mornings. I asked her doctor and she told me to massage the inner corner of her eye a few times a day and it seemed to work itself out.
- Bath time has become a little more messy...especially when Emery is involved. 😂 I still bathe her in her tub at the kitchen sink and she kicks so much that it gets water everywhere! She likes her baths, though! And Emery *loves* to help give Sadie a bath!
- She has started putting her hands in her mouth more and more. I'm hoping that doesn't mean she's going to be teething soon!
- She is doing great at tummy time! She doesn't last too long, but she can get her head up really high now! She doesn't roll over from her tummy to her back yet, which is just fine with me! I'm not ready for any of those milestones yet!
- Sadie looks just like her big sister. I went back and ready Emery's three month post and so many of the pictures look exactly like Sadie!
- She is still a big fan of her pacifier! She doesn't have it all the time, but it definitely helps soothe her to sleep or keep her happy while she waits for her bottle!
- She scoots! Emery would scoot all the way down to the end of her crib when she was this age, but Sadie scoots and rotates herself around! Usually she rotates 45 degrees, but last night she turned herself all the way around and her head was at the opposite end of the crib. Sometimes it wakes her up because she bumps her head or her feet on her crib while she's scooting.
- She likes to look at the TV! Sometimes when Emery is watching Mickey Mouse or Daniel Tiger, Sadie will watch it, too! She also seems to like Fox News. 😀
- She is still our little snuggle bug and I love to hold her for naps whenever I can! She also still loves to be swaddled!
- Emery is still an amazing big sister and gets so excited when Sadie looks at her, smiles, or talks! She loves to help with anything and everything and it is so sweet to see.

| She put down Stella for a nap...usually she swaddles her, too! 😂 |
