Noah is 3 months old.

I just love his smiles! He is such a calm and happy baby when he is awake. He will sit on my lap and just look around. He definitely knows his mommy and gets a little bit cranky when other people hold him that he is not used to. If I can reset him, he is ok after that.

We had a follow up with our GI specialist on Wednesday. Since we have seen a small improvement, but not a 100% improvement, she has him on a special formula to rule out any milk/soy allergy. He is on Elecare, it is a prescription formula that is amino based. The proteins are completely broken down and easy to digest. He has to be on it for a week to see if there is any change. He still wakes up quite frequently at night and that is really all we have to go on at this point, although, the night of the wedding, he slept 8 hours before he woke up at 5 am and I just gave him his paci and he fell asleep until 6 am. The only reason he slept is because I put him in the swing. (At least that is what I am going with). I had vowed to not use the swing, but at this point, I have to do what is going to make our family sane and get us the most amount of sleep. Last night he actually slept 6 hours in his crib and around 4 am, I put him in his swing and he slept until 6am. Maybe the formula is working or maybe he is just coming around. Anything is better then him waking up EVERY. SINGLE. HOUR! We have been busy the past couple of days, so maybe he is exhausted. We will have to see how this week goes with sleep. His daytime sleep hasn't changed, but I heard that nighttime sleep comes first. He still only sleeps about 35 minutes. I will spend about 15 mins trying to get him to go back down and when he doesn't, I put him in the swing and he will sleep until I wake him or else he would sleep forever. I am hoping that one day, I will look at the clock and realize that he has slept an hour and then two hours. I don't want him to get used to the swing, but we need some sanity here and as long as I can get some good stretches of sleep at night with him in the crib, I will let him nap in the swing.

He weighs 14 lbs 9.2 oz and is 25" long. He is a growing boy. He is still in 6 months clothes and size 2 diapers. He has discovered his hands and will lock them together and look at them. He has started to bat at the toys on his play mat too. He doesn't really enjoy tummy time anymore, but we do it often anyway. He has rolled over a couple of times, but I know it is by accident, so I am not really counting it.He generally wakes up happy. I have to really listen into the monitor, because he will sit there just sucking on his hands for a while before he starts to fuss. I can't wait to see more of his personality as he seems to be the complete opposite of Ava.
