Happy 3 Months!

Baby A,

You are (a little over) 3 months old! I love waking up each day and seeing how you have changed and what new things you will begin to experience.  You already have your daddy wrapped around all 10 of your sweet little fingers.  Your joy and smiles are contagious to anyone who encounters them!

We did not go to the doctor this month, so I am not sure what your measurements/stats are.  You are still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but the pants are now capris because you are a long baby.  We are starting to try out 3 month outfits.  We have also officially switched to cloth diapers and we are loving them. 

You are taking around 5 oz every 3-4 hours. Feedings and sleep times have become pretty clockwork.  You have also slept through the night (HALLELUJAH!) every night but 2 for the past 2 weeks! We are so thankful that you love to sleep!

Here are few things you are loving:

We borrowed a bouncy seat, and you get giggle as soon as we set you down in it.  You will kick just so that you can bounce more.

You have become a fan of any kind of sports on the tv. You will crane your neck so that you can see what is going on.

You have started to want to pick your head up/sit up.  You like to be able to see everything that is going on and want to be apart of the action! Your legs have also gotten a lot stronger.  You will stand up as long as we are holding onto your hands or you are leaning against us. 

You have also started to discover how your hands work.  You try to grab at things, and love holding onto our hands. 

You like to go for walks (most of the time!)

This month you celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day, your first Opening Day of baseball, and your first Easter!

A few things that haven't changed:

You still love to be swaddled. We are hoping your startle reflex will be gone in the next month or so.

You still love your playmat.  You are starting to lay for longer times.

Tummy time is becoming a favorite.  You will lay and look around or watch a short baby video.

You think your daddy is HILARIOUS.  He can get you to giggle and giggle with silly voices and faces.  

We love you more than we ever imagined we could love a tiny human.  Even Zeus has become your little protector.

You bring such joy into our lives, and the Lord is already using your sweet life to teach us more than we thought possible.  Our prayer is that the Lord will work in your life in mighty ways, and that your life will always bring Him glory! We cannot wait to see His plans for you.

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
