My June baby is 3 months old and I can hardly believe it. Technically she's not a newborn anymore, right?! Oh how sad but HOW GLAD I am to be out of that stage. It was good while it lasted, but now we're on to better days of a better schedule, more sleep, more snuggle, bigger smiles, and hoping to a giggle and rolling over here in the next few weeks.
She weighs 13 lbs 9 oz and it feels like she's taller every day!
She's got the cutest little grin, and sometimes she raises her shoulders up when she smiles. We feel like its her cute way of flirting with us.
She loves to snuggle, and sleeps great when she's in bed with us but thankfully sleeps great when she's in her rock n play too. She's even gotten better this last week of taking good naps in the rock n play!
She still likes to be worn in wraps and carriers, and usually falls asleep instantly when we put her in one.
She nurses to sleep, which is something I really enjoy and am so grateful we get to do.
In the mornings, she and I both love to lay on the outdoor blanket and play with the play mat, read books, or I just try to make her smile.
She doesn't *love* the stroller, but I'm going to keep trying with it so I can go on good walks (and maybe even runs one day lol) with her.
The sun really wears her out. When we're out in the sun in the mornings for a while, she loves to sleep the rest of the day.
Everyone says she's a TALL baby, and she is! I'm curious to see if she will continue to grow at such a a fast rate.
She's still easy to soothe, but has moments of rage like most babies do. When she does that, Jake and I like to call her the monster or say that she's the other person's baby, haha. But mostly we love her and are always taking her away from one another to get more snuggles.
Sometimes I think to myself, "Wow! I'm really a mom and Jake's really a dad and we're doing this thing!" Even though our baby has been here for 3 months, it still doesn't feel real sometimes (until it's 4 in the morning and I hear her making some noises because she's ready to eat again). We are blessed with such a mellow, happy bay and we are trying real hard to appreciate every second with her and never take her for granted. We love and adore you, June! We'll always be on your side!
