Blankenship Family!: Dylan is 3 Months Old!

Happy Three Month Birthday Dylan!

Wearing his "Mommy's Little Turkey" outfit!

Thug face.

C'mon Mom, I'm tired of these pictures!

Sleep: Dylan goes to bed at about 9pm and wakes up around 4-5am. He will sleep 7-8 hours each night. When he wakes up at 4-5am he will drink his bottle and go right back to sleep. He then sleeps until 7-8am. If he isn't up by 8am, I wake him up so he stays on schedule. It is really helpful to red this blog from a month ago... it's much easier to tell he is making good progress towards sleeping for longer periods at night when I am reading it verses trying to remember.

It is a long road to getting a baby to sleep through the night... Right now, I'm going to bed after I put him down, so 9:30ish and then wake up to feed him around 4:30ish. That's 7 hours of sleep, if I'm lucky. Usually it takes me at least a half hour to fall asleep... For some reason, I cannot fall asleep after I put Dylan back down around 5. It's like my body says 6 hours was enough sleep! 6 hours of sleep is not enough for me... I'm exhausted some days but still can't manage to fall asleep any earlier! Jimmy says it's a mom thing... I'm always on alert! So hard to turn it off... I never used to drink coffee, but now it has become my best friend!

Size: He is starting to outgrow his 3 month outfits. Some are too small and some are fitting him just right. I broke out a few 3-6 month outfits that fit him pretty well. So in the next few weeks, I'll probably put away all his 3 month clothes. On Thanksgiving he wore 6 month outfits because that's what Owen was wearing on Thanksgiving last year! I didn't see the need to buy another outfit for just one days wear... They actually fit him just fine and didn't look too big.

Special Visits: As I stated in Owen's blog post, we hosted Thanksgiving this year! Jimmy's family came up and enjoyed loving on Dylan for the day! It was fun to see Jimmy's brothers interact with little D!

Oh, hey bro!

Firsts: Dylan is rolling from front to back and from back to front! He did this for the first time a week or so ago. We found him in his crib on his tummy. Now he is doing it on his play mat too!

Mid-role.

Dylan had his first Thanksgiving!

Likes: Dylan loves to play on his play mat! He will chill on there for an hour and coo and ooo. It is so cute! He loves to bat at the toys hanging from the mat. He also likes to have dis diaper changed, or rather likes to lay on the changing mat. Every time we change his diaper he is all smiles and laughs!
