3 Months...

Dear Lainey,

  

Today you are 3 months old. Wow, where has the time gone?! Each and every day I feel more blessed to have you in my life. I promise that I will hold you and love on you as long as you will let me. And even then, I may fight you for a big squeeze.

You are incredible and an obvious reminder that we serve an increible and loving God.

You have recently discovered your hands and they are always in your mouth! You have also started reaching for toys and you are so much fun to watch.

 You are very, very ticklish and I love hearing your big belly laughs! Everyday before bathtime mommy tickles the heck out of you because your laugh is the sweetest sound I have every heard.

You look just like me, to me. And you look just like daddy, to daddy.

Sometimes I am amazed at how much love you have brought out in me. I didn't know I could love this much.

You are growing quickly, stretching out your 0-3 mths clothes and fitting snugly in 3 mths. Soon we will have to 3-6! Right now you are getting over a tummy bug (and heaven help them if I find out who gave it to you!) and at your doctor's appointment, we found out you now weigh 11 pounds 10 ounces. You are currently in the 40th percentile for height and weight. In other words, you are perfect.

You are sleeping great through the night, usually from 9:30 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. You are only a somewhat decent napper but hey, I'll take whatever sleep you want to give me!

You are currently eating 5 ounces every 3 hours. Mommy tried her hardest to breastfeed but it just didn't work out.

 

You, my child, are absolutely incredible and so, so loved. You are my entire world.

Love,

Mommy
