You turned 3 months old on November 29th. Each day with you is such a gift, because I realize how quickly time passes. There is nothing more important to me than making you feel loved and secure, protecting you, and giving you everything you need to thrive and grow. Speaking of growth...
- You weighed 12 lbs 15oz at your 2 month appointment! You were 5lbs 13 oz at birth.We aren't sure what you weigh now but I'm guessing around 14 lbs.
- You are 23.5 inches long (you were 19" long at birth)
- You seem to have gone straight from newborn clothes to 3-6 or 6-9 month clothes!
- You're are now in size 2 diapers.
- You love to talk to us! You found your voice around 6 weeks old and you've gotten louder and more vocal every day. Daddy and I could sit and talk to you forever. It's the sweetest thing!
- You love the bath. I think it's your favorite place right now. If you're ever having a tough day, we just put you in the bath and you instantly splash and smile. We bathe you every night before bedtime in the kitchen sink.
- You still aren't loving the car. While I'm driving, you're either sleeping or screaming...no in-between! I think this is getting better because you seem to sleep more than you scream nowadays.
- Another thing you're not loving is nap time. You nap well in the car/stroller or in my lap, but you don't like napping alone in your room. I keep trying to tell you that when you're a grown up you'll WANT to nap and you'll MISS napping, but you're still not a nap-lover. At your age you should be getting 4-5 long naps in each day, and we're lucky to get 2 or 3!
- You're sprouting all new super blonde hair! We have no doubts that you'll be a white-headed blue-eyed little thing just like Mama and Daddy were when we were little.
- You absolutely light up when your Daddy comes home. You are always so happy to see him! As your Mama I love seeing you two love each other. Today we did FaceTime with Daddy and you were smiling and talking to him - you knew who you were talking to, even if it was on a computer screen. This also tells me your eyesight is getting sharper.
- You are starting to swat at things like my phone and grab your toys and pacifier. You don't really have your grip down yet, but you are so close! I gave you a wet wash cloth last night and you were wiping your head with it and putting it in your mouth - you loved it. You have also started clasping your hands together.
- You're still a great eater! You haven't had anything but breast milk, but I know when you get a hold of solid foods you're going to be in heaven. Right now you're eating every 2.5-3 hours during the day. You usually go to bed around 8:00pm and you're waking up at 1:00am and 4:00am to eat at night.
- You are such a chubby little thing! We love your sweet rolls and Mama will be so sad when they're gone. We never thought our little bird baby would be such a big girl so fast but we are so happy you're thriving and growing!
We can't get enough of you, sweet baby!
Love,
Mama
