Caroline is 3 months old today

Seriously, Caroline is 3 months old today! Wow. Her infancy has gone way too fast. Today, Caroline weighs probably around 14 pounds I would think, she is going through a nursing frenzy. I have my top up to feed her very often. She is having her 3 month growth spurt! My chest feels it that is for sure. Wow. Her extra feedings are increasing my milk supply. I think that is so awesome. She is a great little feeder that is for sure. She takes after her brother in more than just her looks. We call her our little butterball because she is bursting out of 6 month sleepers already. The arms look 3/4 length, and her toes curl under the tightness of her footed sleepers! I cannot believe it! Wow.

She has been rolling like crazy. From her back to her tummy. I actually put her down for a "nap" of sorts and I came back to check on her and she rolled completely over and onto her tummy. She smiles very big at me and I love that. She is really noticing her hands, and I wonder when she will notice her feet...if she can get them up to her face/mouth with her chub may be hard to do! I know Cameron layed down more because he was so middle heavy he could hardly sit when his little friends were sitting up.

Caroline is being loved up by her doting siblings! They all want to hold her, but they end up picking her up and walking with her. Carly heard her crying and picked her up and walked her all the way downstairs to find me in the laundry room! Yikes. Thankfully we have been practising and working on proper holding techniques! I ask them to hold her lightly, but they really hold her too tightly sometimes. That is why she has to be strong! To fend off her siblings that love her so.

This month we will head to the BC Childrens' Hospital to take her for an ultrasound and a check up with the specialist to see what is going on with her kidney/s. I don't feel worried at all. She is very healthy and expect her appointment to run rather smooth.
