I am so far behind on her monthly updates, but am going to try to get caught up this week. On March 28th, our girl turned THREE months old! I cannot believe how fast time is flying.
Hollis had a lot of "firsts" this month. She started attending her new school! She seems to be loving it and is having so much fun. I have complete confidence that we are leaving her in good hands each morning and that she will learn so much. We also have gotten several "arts and crafts" projects! During spring break, she dressed up for theme week at school and is settling in nicely.

As far as sleeping is going, she switched to an "arms up" swaddle instead of the tight swaddles with her arms to her side. She seems to love it and can get her hands in her mouth to help self soothe when needed. She is still in her bassinet by our side, but we will switch her soon to her crib. She is a TERRIBLE napper. She only takes short cat naps at school and doesn't nap well for us on the weekends unless you are holding her or she is in her car seat. However, she still continues to sleep all night, so I really can't complain. Her pediatrician was not concerned since she was getting 12 hours at night. We are still battling the witching hour before bedtime, but I have a feeling we are at the end of that.

She is still eating like a champ as well, but has definitely started spitting up a lot more. She has moved up to 5 oz bottles and almost always finishes them. As far as the spitting up is concerned, she is still gaining weight and is not in pain so the doctor has coined her "a happy spitter" and has told us this is more of a laundry problem at this point in time,
We have discovered that she LOVES being outside. She would sit outside all day if we would let her. We will go out on the back porch and rock in the chairs and one Saturday we sat outside and watched Daddy do yard work.

Hollis has also started the early stages of teething. I think we are far from a tooth actually breaking through, however, there is SO MUCH DROOL! And she sticks EVERYTHING in her mouth.

She has been working on her head control by doing tummy time and sitting in her bumbo for short periods of time. But her favorite place to be is the bouncer at school.

We took our first out of town trip this month and went to visit DeDe and Paw at their house in Rockdale. Hollis had a ton of her grandparent's friends come to meet her while we were down and had so much fun!

This little girl continues to amaze us everyday. She is the light of our life!
