First 3 months of life

 1 week old

1 Month - Had his first bath, which he hated, screamed the whole time. My parents were here for 2 weeks and Taylor's mom came for a week. The help and company was so nice! The first month was a tough one, I was planning on exclusively breast feeding but my supply never came in and Emmett never really learned how to latch properly, he lost over a pound from his birth weight and didn't gain until 3 weeks old. We began supplementing with formula and at 5 weeks I decided to drop breast feeding and solely formula feed. It was a very hard decision and tough time for me as I was really wanting to only breast feed but for what ever reason it just didn't work out and I came to terms with it and was just happy to be able to feed my baby and watch him grow.

2 Month - We celebrated his first Easter, he smiled for the first time and found his hands. At 5 weeks we found out Emmett had a milk allergy and we had to switch to a hypoallergenic formula, we also found out he had acid reflux and needed to be put on medication. Because of these two unfortunate events we had a very fussy difficult baby on our hands, he didn't sleep well at all and was hardly ever not crying.

3 Month - He learned to grasp objects, roll from his stomach to his back and he laughs out loud when we sing to him. We will never know for sure but we may have had a colicy baby on our hands, needless to say he has grown out of it and is a much much happier baby. We decided at 10 weeks to start sleep training him and he does so good, sleeps in his crib and falls asleep all on his own (finally something easy! ;) He absolutely loves the bath now, splashes and smiles constantly. He loves to look at himself in the mirror, watch the tv and play with his toys and activity gym. He can also sit in his bumbo and be propped up on the couch. He enjoys sucking on his hands and playing with his tounge.

I have to say the newborn phase was a tough one for us, no sleep for anyone, basically living at the pediatricians office, and lots of stress. But we made it out alive and have reached the light at the end of the tunnel :) but I must say even though we always knew things would get better there were times where it seemed like it would take forever!
