My dearest
Alythia,
You my
child are the joy of your mommy and daddy’s world. I cannot believe how much you seem to grow
and change every single day! At 3 months
old now you are so interactive and engaged in what is going on around you! You love to laugh and smile and every time
you see mommy or daddy you get the biggest smile on your face, doesn’t matter
if you just saw us 3 minutes before or 3 hours before. You are one of the happiest little girls I
have ever known. You only cry when you
are hurt, tired or hungry and sometimes fuss when playing because you get
frustrated that you are not quite able to do some things yet. You really would like to be able to crawl and
are having such a hard time accepting that you aren’t ready for that yet. When you wake up in the morning, or any time
really, you instantly have a smile on your face and are ready for whatever
adventure lies before you. You have
grown so much from your newborn self.
You are now 24 inches long and 12.9 lbs!
I cannot believe you have already almost doubled your weight and are
right on track with your growth. Mommy
could not be more proud of her average child.
During this past month you have been getting settled into our new home
and your new room that has been specially designed for you. It has all of the things that I love most in
it. You have really begun to enjoy your
tummy time and are lasting much longer before you get frustrated. We began using an exersaucer last month and
you are so enjoying it. You never fuss
for your toys but when mommy is holding you, you will often look longingly at
whatever toy you would like to play on next.
Right now we are on a rotation of playmat, exersaucer and tummy
time. We have begun watching a little
cartoon every few days called “Shawn the sheep”. Mostly we decided on that one because there
are no words in it and it entertains mommy and daddy since you aren’t really
intent on watching much yet, it does seem to calm you down though and we have
caught you laughing at it a few times.
You are very intent on standing and really don’t like it when mommy
tries to make you sit down. I am working
on helping you build up your upper body strength and core muscles with some
pull-to-sit motions and sitting with little support. Your getting more ok with it but any time I
hold your hands you immediately try to stand up. I keep telling you, we have to sit before we
stand and crawl before we walk!! Your not
sure that’s true though. My precious
girl, your mommy cannot imagine life without you and I am so happy to be
spending my days with you. I wouldn’t
have it any other way!
Happy 3
months,
Mommy
Becky
