Happy 3 months!! Wow, this has been a big month! You are way more alert and expressive than last month - perhaps you can even read this post :). Here's the scoop on you, Miss Lucy (you are soooo cute!).
1. We use the swing only as a crutch now for your fussiest times only! You're so alert and interested in what's going around you, we think you're better off learning than sleeping (which is what happens when you're swinging).
2. You started grabbing toys this month! Your dad really worked with you all month on developing this skill and now you're (almost) a master! It has been so exciting to watch.
3. This month the doctor gave you permission to go into public more often. We went to Northbrook Court a couple times, to FedEx, to Cleveland, to Eggsperience/Meli/Once Upon a Bagel, to my office and even to the grocery store.
4. You slept through the night for the very first time on the 26th (one day after your 3rd month was complete). Daddy and I were THRILLED! (Secretly I know I will miss you in the middle of the night.)
5. You really enjoy colorful books and we love reading them to you!
6. You can find me across the room. Easily.
7. You won't take your eyes off the television. Consequently, we're watching a lot less!
8. You still HATE tummy time, but are clearly making progress. You also LOVE standing up!
9. You smile most often in the mornings. You LOVE when we change your diapers.
10. I think you're a righty while Dad thinks you're a lefty. Time will tell!!
11. You still have greyish/blueish eyes.
12. You are transitioning out of your 0-3 month clothing. I packed it up for your little sister or brother. I'm not going to lie, I cried. You're already getting so big and so fast!!
13. At 3 months you weigh in at 10 lbs and 13.5 ounces...you are trending perfectly and continue to be in the 10th percentile.
14. You drink 4.5 oz. - 5 oz. 6-8 times a day. You still get a little frozen breast milk in your bottles. It was so emotional for me to stop pumping, but the supply did not meet the demand. If you ever breastfeed any of your babies, you'll know why giving it up was so hard. Words really can't explain it.
15. YOU SMILE A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16. You sort of tried to laugh with your father a week ago. We have it on video! Ask us to see it.
17. Your favorite outfit is a simple pair of jeans, white tee shirt and your grey headband.
18. You had your first babysitter and overnight baby sitter (non family) ever. Christine babysat on a Monday night so that Daddy and I could have some quality time together and Cari babysat overnight while we had a little get-away! You were "perfect" for both.
19. Adam still loves you a lot and wakes up in the middle of the night to feed you with me.
20, I start your days with "It's a Beautiful Day" by U2 and play you the Will I Am song from Sesame Street at least once a day.
21. Most people say you look EXACTLY like Daddy (but prettier).
22. You try to hold your own bottle!
23. You are wearing size 2 diapers now!
I'm sure I'm forgetting so many new events, but as I remember them, I'll add them on!
I love you more today than yesterday,
Mommy
PS - Check out the photo below. You've been trying to stand since your first month. I hope you always want to stand up for yourself, baby girl.
