Three months! Time is truly a thief. It's like I blinked and here you are, literally growing before my eyes. I'm so happy I have six more weeks until I go back to work, because I don't think I could give you up to daycare just yet!

Stranger danger: You're seriously the squishiest, sweetest little girl when we're at home! When we leave the house, though, it can get pretty scary. In fact, when we went in for your weight check, Dr. Gaffney asked if you always hysterically cried. I explained that you kind of freak out whenever anyone but me holds you, and that you hate unfamiliar places and loud noises. (All of that was said while she examined you, and you screamed as though you were being tortured.) But truth be told, I'll take all of your baby snuggles as long as I can (although I do have nightmares about taking you to daycare in August...).
Sleep: You are such a good little sleeper! Here's a quick rundown as of late:
Wake up at 9am
Nap from 10:15-12:30
Nap again from 1:45-3:30
Last nap from 5:30-6:15
Bed at 8pm
Wake up at 1am to eat
Wake up at 5:30 to eat
I've noticed sleep is kind of a trade off for you; if you take short naps, you don't wake up to eat during the night. If you take two long naps during the day, you wake up a few times to eat. And that makes sense, when I think about it. I'm definitely not complaining, though, because I have a pretty good idea of what to expect throughout the night when you go to sleep. You definitely have your Daddy's sleep gene!
Hair: You're starting to lose all of your newborn hair, as you can kind of see in the pictures below. It makes me sad because at this rate, you will be bald soon, but I'm excited to see how it grows back! I'm thinking it'll be a little bit darker that Pemberley's, but straight like mine. We will see!
Here are a few pictures I managed to take this past month. (That smile, though!)
I can't tell you how much I love that last picture of you and your Daddy. You're getting better every day with letting him hold you, and seeing the two of you bonding just melts my heart!
Three months, little Wavie Bug. And so many more to come! I can't wait.
With so much love,
She is just so pretty!!
