Hello 3-6!

I can't believe my lo will be three months tomorrow!  Sometimes i thing he should be older but other times i feel i just had him!  He has grown into a great baby!  we had a rough start with reflux and him being on the small side (5lbs. 14 oz).  Now he's getting the hang of the world...lifts his head for long stretches of time, signs that he may roll over soon!!, cooing, and smiling for everyone he sees!

 The only trouble i am having is his sleep.  we have a bedtime routine and he goes down between 8-9 most nights.  he did go 6 hour stretches for about a month but this last week he has been waking up at 12 to eat and also he will fuss in between these times as well.  i wait for him to really cry before i go in and feed him (ff) and he goes right back down after eating.  we do swaddle him because he will grab his face and ears while sleeping.  last night was really hard because he wouldn't lay back down in his crib...he only wanted held...yikes!  i don't want to start that routine at this point.  has anyone else gone through this and what did you do to help lo get back on track?  he is also a catnapper by day and those have remained pretty much the same too.  thanks for the help!
