Pearl at 3 months old weighs 13 pounds and 8 ounces. She is 61 cm long (24 inches). She got two immunization shots at her 3 month appointment. The nurse did a more thorough check-up and said she is strong for her age as she is able to hold her head at 45 degrees. She is also capable to holding her head in place without support when she sits upright.
In other development, Pearl is interested in exploring her hands and feet. When wearing the garden bug rattles, Pearl loves to kick her feet and swipe at her hands. She giggles out-loud and coos to it. She is also capable of grabbing her pacifiers or other objects that is close-by and put them in her mouth. She can also hold her bottle for a few seconds on her own as she does this when she tries to correct our holding of the bottle during feeding.
Overall, she is growing on her growth chart between the 50 % and 85% percentiles, and appears to be happy too.
In this series are images of Pearl and her sister spending time together; enjoying Valentine's day.
