Three months: A Letter

Dear Morgan,

Three months! You are three months old. Where has time gone! It feels like yesterday we brought you home. Here are some highlights of your third month with us!

Growth      
- You are still wearing your three month clothes but have moved into your six month PJ's. You are very long, well your torso is long, you however have the shortest legs! You are growing so fast.

- You have officially moved into size 2 diapers, the one day I squeezed you into a 1 we had a blow out! Lesson learned.
- You still have lots and lots of crazy hair. And I am not really sure what to do with it! It sticks straight out on the back of your head, and today I noticed your brothers does the exact same thing! Yikes!

- The SMILES, goodness you are cute. And you love to smile. You smile at everything. You are also laughing. It is possibly the sweetest thing I have ever heard! You love to lay on my legs and just laugh.

 

- You have started to realize you have arms and legs and flail around when you are laying on your back. You have started to grab for the toys on your play gym and are really good at hitting the piano with your feet and playing music.
- You have found your hands, that's for sure. You love to suck and chew on them. Then you ball them up while you sleep and they kind of stink when you wake up!

Eating -
- You are still eating every 3 hours, sometimes we get a little off and you may go longer, but you eat 6 times a day. If we miss a time, or run out of time, you wake up in the middle of the night. So I pretty much force you to eat that last time!
- You are still taking the bottle like a champ, and mommy should probably be putting more then 4oz in them, because the other day you were not happy when it was all gone!

Sleeping
- You are still following the eat/play/sleep routine and take about 4 naps a day.
- You go to bed around 10 and sleep until at least 7 every day. This has been the pattern for about a month now. Bless you child, sleep is amazing. Now we just need to teach your brother and sister this and we will be golden!
- You take most of your naps in your swing. We moved it into your room so that when your brother and sister are home you can have some peace and quiet. You also sleep better because when they are home you want to be in on the action and you don't sleep.
- You aren't as much of a fan of allowing us to hold you during your naps, you prefer to nap in your swing. But I try and gent some snuggling in when I can.

Activities -
- We celebrated your first Valentines day with of course matching shirts :)

- Gaga and Papa babysat all three of you little angels so Mommy and Daddy could have a date night. - We had our first big snow with you being as part of our family. Maddy and Landon got to stay home for most of a week so lots of playing went on. We made snow ice cream and watched movies.

- We celebrated your sisters 5th birthday, you came as princess Aura. You were adorable. But this was the first time you had been around a lot of people and you picked up a little cold.

- We went out to dinner for Maddy's birthday and you of course were the perfect angel.

- You still love bath time, and your brother and sister love to help

- Maddy is constantly making you art projects, at school and at home.

I can't believe how quickly you are growing.

You are getting such a personality and are growing way to fast. If I could stop time I would! Since I can't I am going to soak up as much of you as I can. You are the best little baby in the entire world and I could not love you more. I love you to the moon and back!

Love you always,
Mommy
