You're Three Months Old!

Baby Girl,

Boy time is flying!!  I can't believe you are three months old!  I feel like just yesterday you were born...where is my baby going?  You have gained such a personality this month.

This month we started a new routine at night.  Every night we have started reading you a book and saying a prayer before laying you down to sleep.  This is such a sweet time with you and we look forward to it each night.  We turn off the TV or stop everything we are doing to enjoy this moment with you.  I hope it is something we can continue for many years to come.  You really enjoy when your Daddy read Barnyard Dance.  You think he is very silly.  After your story we put your hands together and all three of us (after we taught it to you're Daddy) say...

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

You are now sleeping in your pack-n-play next to our bed.  This was a wonderful transition.  We decided that since you were starting to move a little in your sleep it was time to take you out of your Nap Nanny.  We were afraid that you wouldn't do well, but we should have known you would.  You pretty much slept through the night from the first night.  If you wake up we just put you in the Nap Nanny back in the bed with us and don't fight with you about it.

Here are a few other things to know about you this month....
* You weigh 11 lbs. 10 oz.
* You wear a size 2 diaper
* You wear 0-3 month clothing, but if it is a one piece you have just about out grown it in length (I am afraid this is going to be a problem for you).  We have put you in some 6 month bubbles on warmer days.
* You drink 6 oz about 4-5 times a day, just depending.
* You sleep through the night in your pack-n-play.
* You still love you're play mat with the piano and your exer-saucer with the piano beneath your feet
* You are a cuddle bug.  At night you are typically a Mommy's girl, but the rest of the time you will typically go to anyone
* You think your Daddy is funny
* You still love bath time
* You really giggled for the first time this month.  Your daddy can really get you going most of the time
* You have started hating riding in the car when it is dark.  This has made for some very long car rides home.
* You love to watch TV.  You watch Mikey Mouse Clubhouse and Doc McStuffins while Mommy is getting dressed each day.
* You do not like tummy time, but you are starting to hold your head up when we put you on your tummy.  You will stay for a little longer now, but you get frustrated very easily.
* You love any toy that lights up or has a mirror (you love to look at yourself).





You are such a bundle of joy and the happiest baby ever ( I am not just saying that because I am your mommy).  You hardly ever cry and you are perfectly content with anyone as long as they are holding you.  You are such a blessing in Mommy and Daddy's lives and I can't remember what life was like before you.  You have made our family complete.



Love,
Mommy
