Our little love is 3 months old and we are soaking up every ounce of this wonderful baby stage.
The wonderful thing about being baby #2 my girl, we spend so much more time just snuggling with you, making you giggle and smile as much as possible, squishing your juicy cheeks and thighs and smelling your sweet baby smell. Because we know how quickly time goes by and how fast you will grow.
Our incredibly sweet little Andie you are...
You are such a happy girl.
You love to smile and laugh, and right now you are doing a lot of trying to make mommy laugh. It's just mommy right now because it's when you are nursing and you put on a show sometimes that I can tell is purely for my entertainment. I love every single second of it. If you want to make mommy smile and giggle at 2 in the morning, I am game my silly girl.
You are ALL about your HANDS these days.
Can't get enough of them, boy they must be delicious! :)
You don't take a paci, so this takes it's place. Fine with me!, you can always find them yourself.
Mommy just wipes those little juicy hands down about 6 times a day.
Andie, you have the sweetest little round Gerber baby face. Every little feature is the most beautiful thing in the world to me. Mommy and Daddy just melt over you.
A good little sleeper you are. At night you are like clockwork and are so ready to get ready for bed by 6:30 at the latest. After jammies, nursing and songs you are usually down and out in minutes.
You sleep for 10 hours typically, wake to nurse for 5 minutes and go back down for another 2-3 hours.
While at night you sleep so well in your crib, you don't as well during the day for little naps. Many of your naps are still in our Rock N' Play that we LOVE so much. It is our favorite baby item. Who wouldn't love a cozy little inclined bed that soothingly vibrates?
A few more random tidbits about our sweet girl:
- At 3 months you weighed 14 pounds - you now weigh 15 pounds.
- You had your first little baby illness - pink eye, and it has come back twice (which is why this post is so delayed).
- This past month your hair has thinned quite a bit and seems to be getting lighter.
- You are wearing 3-6 and 6 month clothes now. You are such a deliciously juicy baby, we love it!
- You are wearing size 2 diapers. I can see 3's in the not too far future though.
- You are 100% breastfed and don't take a bottle. This is something we need to work on. But mommy is really okay with always having a little sidekick attached to her. :)
- You eat about every 3 hours during the day, anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes.
- When you smile you now have a little dimple in your cheek.
- You giggle and laugh so adorably.
- What makes you laugh so far? making funny noises with you, dancing with you to Coldplay's "Sky full of stars", and giving your little legs a shake and tickle.
- What makes you smile? just watching your sister, singing to you, changing your clothes, smiling and talking to you, laying on your changing table in your room, telling you that you are a pretty girl. :)
- You are a little talker. Your favorite sounds are G, M, U and O.
- Your favorite place to be when awake (other than in our arms) is laying on a blanket on the floor.
- You are grabbing and playing with toys.
- You are rolling over all the time. (You started rolling over regularly at 2 months about a week or two before you turned 3 months.)
You are the sweetest girl.
Even your cry is so sweet.
We love every little bit of you.
