Where is time going, baby girl?! Today you are three months old, and we are officially through with what they like to call the "fourth trimester." Your personality continues to blossom, your body continues to grow, your smiles continue to get bigger and wider, and your eyes continue to make us swoon. I've thought it and said it so many times but God knew I needed you. I may still be tired, (although I think that's just from juggling life, in general), and we all continue to adjust to having a baby around with our crazy schedule, but I can't imagine life without my daughter by my side. :)
Everything about you at three months!
|| You are still in size 2 diapers, can still fit into some of your 0-3 month clothes but are mainly wearing 3-6 month sizes. Though I do wish someone would start making baby clothes in sizes 2-4 months because I think that range would fit you much better. :)
|| I am still nursing you, and I plan to do it for as long as you'll allow me to and and for as long as mama's milk can still fill you up! I think you are typically getting around four ounces per feeding right now.
|| We really can't complain as far as nights and sleep goes. Most of the time now, you go to bed between 7:30-8:30 with your last feeding of the evening coming within that hour. You then typically wake up once in the middle of the night to eat... and then go back to sleep until 7 or 7:30 in the morning. A couple of times a week, you might wake up to feed twice, although we've had three nights now where you have actually slept through the night! Two of them have happened this week! I know it's typical for babies to go through some sleep regression around four months so I'm anticipating a change in your schedule soon - especially with daylight savings also approaching around your four-month mark - but right now, we're doing pretty good!
|| When you're not being held, your favorite place to be is in your bouncer where you can easily look around and see everyone and everything.
|| Your first five weeks of daycare could NOT have gone any better. We are so blessed by Kathy and so thankful every single day for her. She loves you genuinely and takes such good care of you and always has a welcoming and warm greeting for us in the mornings. And she's really good at making you do tummy time. ;)
|| We just recently graduated from baths in the sink to baths in the big tub! It was just getting too hard to fit you in the sink even though you loved being able to be curled up in there, staring at yourself in the mirror. You seem to really enjoy baths in the tub, love watching the water come out of the faucet, and I've got some bath toys on your Christmas list that I can't wait to see you splash around with in a few months. ;)
|| You've recently started a habit of locking your own hands together frequently as if in prayer, and your daddy gets quite the kick out of it.
|| Your hair is growing and so far seems to be a lot like Jaden's! If that holds true, you will love it because it will be very thick. ;) The more it grows, the more it sticks up on the top, but it's adorable. It's also looking pretty dark in person!
|| You love looking at the purple monkey on your bouncy seat toy bar, and it's quite funny to see your eyes interact with it. Sometimes you look at it skeptically, other times you give it a big ol' grin, and I would just love to know what's going through your mind as you stare at your "friend." :)
|| I love to read to you, and you are actually starting to look at the pages now when I do.
|| You're a fist chomper and sometimes prefer your hands over your binky. You haven't' shown interest in your thumb yet - just your knuckles. :)
|| Your eyes are still blue but seem to have gained a bit more of a grayish tint to them. We're still very interested to see how they turn out, but as daddy likes to call them, they are "soul crushers." Your eyes are absolutely beautiful, and we just get lost in them quite frequently!
|| It's very easy to get you to smile - the minute you see one of us, you're happy. You love to be talked to, and we spend a lot of time just sitting face to face and making silly faces at you. Often times your smiles are so big and wide, that I can just envision a giggle coming out, and I can't wait for that!
|| You still love to nap during the day, and I'm totally okay with that!
|| You still have a way of "flirting" with your eye brows, and it is the cutest and funniest thing!
|| You love to stare at the flowery letter K hanging above your crib when you wake up in the morning. Good choice, Mommy!
|| Life is about to get even busier and we'll be spending a lot less time at home on the weekends with the start of basketball season. I'm a bit nervous for having you at tournaments all day but am also anxious to get you out and about a bit more.
We love you so much Kaitlyn Renee, and watching you grow is such a joy!
Some more pictures of you from the past month. :)
We call this her KISS impersonation. ;)
Look at how you've grown!
