3 months/13 weeks old

3 months marks big changes for babies in our house. They've moved into their own bedroom now and are sharing a crib for the time being. We will see how this crib divider works and how well we sleep the next few nights.
Ella turned 3 months old yesterday and is getting to be such a big girl already. She is holding her head up great now and really close to rolling over from her tummy to her back. She likes sitting in the bumbo chair and still needs to be swaddled up to sleep for naps and at night. Her colic is so much better with the formula switch and probiotic she is taking. She eats 3 1/2 ounces every three hours and at night sleeps from 9-2, 2:30-5, 5:30-8 roughly. She is still a little peanut wearing size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes. She is wearing a couple of 3-6 month outfits, but 0-3 fit her very comfortably yet. She still isn't a great napper during the day but we are working on that.
Ella smiles and talks to us all the time now. She is definitely a mommy's girl at this point but we will see if that sticks or not as she grows up. She is an active baby always looking around and wanting to know what is going on.
We are blessed to have such a beautiful baby girl!
Logan turned 3 months old yesterday and is our little ham. He has the best personality for a little baby that I've ever seen. He smiles, coos and talks constantly to anyone and anything. He had a great conversation just the other day with the elephant on the bouncy chair. Logan is much less active than Ella. He is very comfortable just sitting around be it in a bouncy chair, the swing, laying on the floor mat, etc. His laid-back, happy personality carries over to his lack of movement. He eats 4 ounces every three hours and is sleeping the same schedule at night as Ella now for the last week. Previous to that we were still getting up every three hours at night because he's a hungry boy. He is wearing size 2 diapers and leaping out of 3-6 month clothing and into 6-9 month this week. He still naps pretty well during the day and we hope the night sleep stretches continue to get longer and longer.
Logan is also a mommy's boy at this point and I think both are partial to me since I'm staying at home now. I can't get enough of his smiles.
We are blessed to have such a beautiful little boy!
