Three Months Old

November 29, 2009

Dear Angel,

You are 3 months old today. You will be 3.5months on Christmas. As you can imagine we are exceptionally thrilled for the Holidays this year as you are going to be here. Last year on December 23rd I found out that I was pregnant. On Christmas Day we told our families we had a gift for them they could only see in 9 months. I cannot believe its been almost a year since you started to grow in my belly and 3 months since you are in the outside world.

You are learning new things with each passing day. You can also roll over one way, reach for toys, and you can bring your hands together. Ever since you found your voice you love to make new sounds and entertain yourself and us with "talking" and "singing". You are quite a chatterbox and you can get pretty loud too! You also giggle and laugh, which is the most amazing sound in the world. Daddy can make you laugh the most...apparently mommy is not as funny. You are always smiling as you are such a happy and content baby. Others always comment on how beautiful and happy you are. You have beautiful complexion, sweet smile, dark blue eyes and a lot of dark hair. You melt everyone's heart and even random people in the supermarket stop to talk to you.

You are fitting perfectly into 0-3m old clothing and sometimes even into 6month old clothing. You weight at around 14 pounds. You are now double your birth weight! Where did my tiny baby go? You are such an excellent sleeper that we have decided to put you in your crib to see how you would like it. Since you are getting bigger and sleep longer we want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. You love your crib and you go to sleep at around 10pm and wake up at 9am. You feed and stay up for a bit and then go back to sleep for another hour or two. At night we swaddle you and rock you to sleep. Its amazing to watch you fall asleep in my or daddy's arms every night. In the morning when you wake up you greet us with the most amazing smiles...what a sight to wake up to!

You do very well at play dates and continue to enjoy Mom and Baby yoga. You love hanging out with other babies. Currently you love to hang out with baby Amatiel and baby Nathan who are your closest friends. Your other friends that you like are baby Rowan, baby Sophia, baby Avery, baby Aaoki and baby Toby. You also really enjoy spending time with grandma Eva who spoils you with attention and affection. She is just on cloud 9 to have you as granddaughter. She baby sits you every second Saturday for a couple of hours when I go to teach Prenatal Yoga. Grandma Sharon also baby sits you from time to time and also loves to spend time with you.

My heart is filled with love for you and I will always be grateful for my precious baby girl.
Thank you for being you and for choosing me to be your mommy.

Love,
Mom
