// three months //
crazy. three months already. your papa and i were just talking last night. that things with you are starting to feel normal. that looking after you is getting easier. and that is all good. we still all have a lot of adjusting and learning to do. but i am thankful that things are starting to feel comfortable. phew. i love watching you grow. and develop. and love that you are becoming more interactive. i can't wait to see what this next month will hold, my little lovebug.
// you are my honey bear // your hair is growing over your ears // you like going for walks in the park // you don't like sharp loud noises // you don't wake up slowly // you don't wake up slowly // you react to dairy and wheat when your mama eats it // you are full of smiles // you sometimes gag on your soother // you are eating much better // you are super strong // you are my baby doll // you grasp my fingers // you blow bubbles with your spit // you had your first two trips to the children's hospital // you have chubby knees // you are getting a bald spot on the back of your head // you don't scratch your face so much anymore // you adore your papa // your thighs are getting chubbier // you sometimes fall asleep after i do // your finger nails grow so fast // you have the best hairline // you sleep longer if we snuggle and sleep together // you like talking with me and answering my many questions // you hated your puffer when you were sick // you love floating in the bath tub // you don't like load chaotic places // you sometimes get a rash on your face // you smile a lot // you discovered how to suck on your hand // you fart a lot // you have a stork bite on each eyelid // you recognize our voices and smile when you hear us // you love us reading books to you // you giggle // you like it when your pap makes animal noises // you have cute little hiccups // you got the flap under your tongue snipped // you are noticing your toys more // you like to hold onto the rings on your toys // you react to my silly antics // you have stylish hair // you often suck on your right fist when you are hungry // you have conversations with us // you love looking at lights // you met a new little friend // you experienced your first valentine's day // you sometimes dive for your soother // your arms and legs are constantly moving // when you sleep you turn your head to the left // your eye hand coordination is improving // you pop your soother out to get your hand in there instead // you have started to suck on toys // you love looking at the ceiling // you have the most adorable little voice // you like looking in mirrors // your bangs are growing longer // you are my lovebug // you have the cutest little nostrils // you already love your mama's iphone // you don't need to eat right away after you wake up for the day anymore but instead will lounge in bed with me for a bit // you like to push against things with your feet // you like holding your giraffe's tail // you love your mr. jangles toy and try to get his foot in your mouth // you like your singing japanese book // some of your three month sleepers are still a little big on you // you mimicked your dad waving at you // you can roll over from your tummy to your back and are so pleased with yourself // you often curl your toes // your cry doesn't sound like a newborn one anymore // you slept in your crib for the first time // you get dirty fingernails // you prefer napping with your mama or papa instead of on your own // you love staring at and talkking to the pictures in your books // your mama bought you your first swimming suit // your cousin joelle calls you "my ani!" // you have started sleeping longer at night // you are loved so much //

Proud to call her my niece and you my sister... you are doing an amazing job...

Oh my gosh, such a sweetie. I can't stand it! Can't stand that I haven't met her yet! I'm catching the next plane to Cowtown! OK, well maybe not the next, but next month, for sure! You guys around at Easter?
