Grace: Three Months

Happy three months my sweet little nugget!

I can't even believe where the time has gone ... every day things get better and better, and I am so lucky to be your mama!

You smile, you giggle, you coo and babble .... you are the most adorable little thing we've ever seen.

This month you rolled from front to back for the first time ... and had your first deep belly laugh. 

This month, you were baptized at St Patrick's, by Deacon Frank. 

You love going to church, and staring at all the lights and listening to the music. You are quite the distraction too! Families are always coming up to us and telling us how cute and well-behaved you are. 

You love your daddy, and already a daddy's girl. You save your best smiles for him :) And you love when daddy holds you and dances around the kitchen with you. You're already a little country fan!

Your schedule goes something like this:

Monday and Tuesday morning you go to Grandma's. The rest of the week you go to daycare, and you love it there! Your teachers adore you, as do the other kids.

You get up around 4:30 or 5am, and I bring you into bed, and we nurse and nap until 6am when I have to get up for work. 

I hand you over to daddy and you either nap some more, or hang out with him. You are always in a happy, good mood! 

I miss you so much during the day! Grandma calls, and your daycare sends me photos. I rush out of work every day at 5pm on the dot, and race to pick you up. Seeing your big gummy grin when I walk in the door, is my favorite part of the day.

When we get home from work, we snuggle all evening. I make dinner, wash and prep bottles, do some laundry and snuggle you some more! 

Your nighttime routine is pretty much the same every night ... bath (which you LOVE), a bubba, some more snuggles and you are out like a light. 

Now that we are a month into our new routine, you are sleeping much, much better! 

thank you very much for that 

This month, you had your first sleepover away from us. I think you had a blast, and I was just a little worried leaving you but you did great!! You stayed up late, and played with your Auntie and were spoiled by your Pops. You are so lucky to have so much love in your life!!

At your 11 week appointment you weighed 12lbs1oz and were 23" long. 47% and 52%, but your head! Your head is in the 82%!! You know what that means?? Time to buy some more headbands! 

We just moved you into 3-6 month pants and onesies, since you are so long! Tops and dresses you can still fit into 0-3 months.

Having you in our life has been the most wonderful and amazing blessing. You truly are a gift, and we are so grateful to have been chosen to be your parents.

We love you to the moon and back, our sweet girl.
