I am three months old today! Wahoo!
We are currently in NM celebrating Christmas with daddy’s family. It’s been fun meeting my cousins and aunts and uncles!
I had started sleeping all the way through the night for a few days. Then we got here, and it kinda messed everything up. 🙂
As you can see, I sure do love to smile and coo! Especially when someone’s talking sweet to me.
I eat 4 times a day, 7 oz each time. Mommy says I’m on the upper scale of what I should be eating. Thank goodness I seem to be rather long, so I’m not just chunking out!

One day, mommy decided to try letting me sleep in the bassinet in the closet. She set me down on my tummy (because I love sleeping on my tummy) and closed the door. For whatever reason, I wasn’t super happy. So I cried. After crying for a few minutes, mommy came to get me. And when she turned me over onto my back, she noticed that my face was noticeably red. She thought maybe it was a heat rash, but my skin just got more and more red and bumpy. Then it started oozing a little bit of clear liquid. Mommy did some quick research and concluded that I must have developed eczema. We quickly ran to the store and picked some of this up:
She applied that and coconut oil on my skin several times a day, and my skin gradually returned to normal after about a week. Mommy said when it was at its worst, my skin looked “angry.”
My bassinet doesn’t have a soft, breathable mattress like my crib, just a hard, waterproof mat. So she figured that since I was rubbing my cheek in my tears and drool and sweat, it must have irritated my skin. She bought a new mat and some cotton sheets, and it doesn’t irritate my skin as much. It still gets a little red if I’ve been sleeping in the bassinet for a while, but it goes back to normal after a few hours.
