Lucy 3 Months Old

This post is really late, the 4 month post will be up soon!

Dear Lucy, 

These months just keep flying by! So much has happened this month that I can't keep up with you! I'm sure that as you get bigger that trend will continue more and more! 

Since you turned 3 months old you have done a lot of traveling. You went to Florida to see family and for your baptism. You went to North Carolina for a conference for Daddy's work and then to Murphy to see Nana and Gpa. You have been on the go all month!

You continue to grow and grow. Your appointments are always good and you always have grown and continue to be in a very healthy range for height and weight. 

This month you started waking and wanting to check out the world more and that means much less sleep. This month has been a little crazy because of your lack of sleep but I know that you are just too excited to check out the world to be bothered with sleeping. 

Your first big holiday came this month, we celebrated Thanksgiving with your Mimi and Papa who came to visit. Maybe next year you can actually have a little bit of turkey! 

You are such a happy girl and have such a wonderful smile that even on the rough days you can always make it better with your wonderful little giggle. We love you so much little girl and look forward to every new discovery and day with you!

Love, 

Mommy

Lucy - 2 Months Old

Dear Lucy,

2 months old! It’s crazy for me to think that you are only 2 months old because it seems like you have been with us for such a long time already and sometimes I feel like you act so much older then your age.

You are such a big girl! You gained 3lbs since your last check up and are 12lbs 8oz now! You are still wearing 0-3 month old clothes and size 1 diapers. That is going to be changing soon. You are ready for size 2 diapers now which means it is time for cloth diapers for you! I imagine that your clothing size is going to go up now also.

In the past month we have discovered the Miracle Blanket (courtesy of Auntie Holly!) which has been a huge help with naps and sleeping. You are such an active alert child that you need a little help when it comes to relaxing. Speaking of sleep, we moved you out of the newborn napper this month and you are now sleeping in the Pack N Play. It won’t be long now till you move into your crib.

You have also moved up in your bathtub. No longer sitting in the newborn sling and no longer taking baths up on the counter! You fit in the tub and that tub is in the big tub now since you have discovered how much fun it is to splash in your bath. You really like bath time and are a little water baby.

You have started talking and smiling so much more this month. Every morning your dad and I look forward to seeing your face and the little happy dance that you do each morning. Well, you are happy most mornings :) We love “talking” to you and seeing how happy you are.

You do well at tummy time but don’t like laying on your belly for a long period of time. You will travel to Florida and North Carolina in the next month along with being baptized in front of many friends and family.  So many exciting things coming up for you!

You have such a big personality and are the sunshine of my life. We can't wait to see what the next month brings!
