3 Months!

I am such a proud Mommy ~ Sophie is absolutely perfect in every way (at least in my eyes anyway)!  She has brought a new level of joy and happiness into my life...one that I never even knew existed until she came along.  This has been the most amazing three months of my entire life and I can't wait to see what the next month holds for our precious girl!

At three months, Sophie, you are:

• In love with Sesame Street
• Adore your Aunt Jaime and Uncle James (I'm sure it helps that she rescues you the moment you start to fuss!)
• Seem to be a little timid around the dogs for some reason ~ they love you so, so much I can't imagine why it would be overwhelming :)
• Eat about 5 oz every fourish hours.
• Have outgrown a lot of the spit-up and gas issues.  Now we just seem to have a random bad day as opposed to what used to be a random good day!
• Sleep in your big girl crib :)
• Go to sleep sometime between 8:30 and 9:00 and wake up around 5:00 to eat.  Go back down around 5:45 or 6:00 and sleep until around 8:30.  For this, I thank you very, very much!!!
• Take a morning nap and an afternoon nap (most days if I'm lucky).  They may be short but they are naps nonetheless.
• Recognize voices and faces.
• Do very well with the playmat and tummy time.
• CAN ROLL OVER FROM TUMMY TO BACK ~ this is a new development as of Monday (7/12) :)
• Have great head control.  
• Love to stand.
• Talk and coo all the time.
• Are infatuated with your hands and often have them in your mouth.
• Seem to be getting more interested in toys and are reaching for them more often.
• Smile and laugh often :)  This is one of my very favorites!
• Learned to make a razzy sound with your spit bubbles and voice.  This makes you laugh which in turn makes me laugh :)  
• Weigh approximately 10.5 lbs.  (Best estimate using the weigh myself, then hold you and weigh myself again method.)
• Still wear Size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes.  I'm not sure for how much longer the 3 month onesies are going to fit just given the whole length issue but the bottoms we can use for a while longer for sure!
• I'm sure there are a million other things I could write but the most important is this...you are amazingly perfect, absolutely gorgeous, the joy of my life, and will always be my baby girl!

I love you more than anything!  

Always and forever,

Mommy
