My sweet girl is THREE months old today! There is a part of me that feels like February 17 was FOREVER ago, I feel like Collins has always been a part of this family...I can't imagine it without her now. BUT, of course...at the same time, time flies!! What's that saying...the years are short but the days are long. That's fitting.
These past three months have honestly been the BEST months of my life. Hands down. Collins has brought so much joy to her daddy's and my life, we are absolutely beyond blessed to be able to be her parents. I thank God every single day for allowing us the opportunity to love on this little girl. Mikey and I always joke that our next child just has to be a terror because Collins is so good:) Does she fuss? Of course...ALL babies fuss some. But, generally she can be soothed pretty quickly one way or another. She has the SWEETEST smile first thing in the morning, she is always happy as a lark when she is woken up in the mornings. She has started to laugh so much more now...she loves to look at the mirror on her carseat toy and loves any kind of toy that we attach to her bouncy seat/car seat/wherever. She could stare at them for hours! I can definitely tell she recognizes her daddy and me now, melts my heart. She is still sleeping like a champ, she will go down by 9 and sleep until 7:30...when I have to wake her up to get ready for the day. She is still eating every three hours during the day...about 4.5 oz when she gets a bottle. I still think white noise is the BEST invention ever. We are still swaddling her at night and for naps...going to have to get rid of that sooner rather than later. *I dread that, I know it will take several nights to get used to and she will probably NOT sleep good those nights* I bought a sleep sack for the transition, hopefully it will help. She is in size 1 diapers, wearing 0-3 mo/3 month clothes...some 3 mo outfits swallow her though. She's definitely compact:) Getting chubbier by the day and I just love it! Chubby little legs are MY favorite thing ever on a baby! She's rolled over a couple of times from her stomach to her back, but not from back to tummy yet. She is still really enjoying her tummy time and we have put her in the bumpo a few times to test it out.
I haven't taken my "official" three month pictures yet, but here are some from the past two weeks.
We love you so much Collins!
