On Monday we had Everly’s 3 month checkup and learned just how advanced she really is. Here is an update:

First, she’s still gaining weight like a champ. Exclusive breastfeeding is doing her just fine! She’s 12.4 pounds now, both her head and overall length have increased by an inch too! She’s outgrown the 0-3 month clothes and is wearing the 3-6 month stuff now.

She’s also super strong! She is grabbing for things and enjoys propped sitting time over all else. She’ll sit on my lap and just look all around. She is also quite the chatter box these days, we are enjoying her baby talk. It’s so darn cute.

Now that she’s able to roll over getting her tummy time in is a struggle, she protests it and even rolls her self over to cut it short. Hopefully this doesn’t delay her crawling. She’s got some good core muscles though, her neck, back and tummy are very strong. Soon she’ll be sitting up on her own!

We also learned that her first tooth is coming in! She’s been a bit more fussy than normal and we got some ambisol to help her with the gum pain. All in all she’s been fairly easy and happy these days. She’s doing amazing, see:

We’ve been on the go so much that I am resorting to using my phone to snap photos of her from day to day. These were taken on Friday, right before our weekend in Murray, KY (that I am blogging about tomorrow).

We are also pretty jazzed to have a photography session booked for next weekend with this photographer. We are trying to capture Everly’s newborn stage in portraits before she’s outgrown it all together. Having my photo taken isn’t my favorite thing though, I always look bad.

Shameless self promotion:
I have until the end of the month to get as many comments on this post as possible, I am trying to win another contest. If you have time head over and share your two cents.
