Gaby's three month letter

4/28/12

Dear Gabriela:

You are now three months old!! You are still sleeping on your sleep wedge, and you are still taking your medication, but it seems to be working. You are holding up your head on your own and have sat in your Bebe Pod chair a bunch of times now. You like to sit in it on the table with us when we have dinner together.

You love to be held. If we aren’t holding you then we aren’t engaging with you, you think. So we keep you happy by holding you as much as we can. You don’t care if you’re facing us, you just like to be in our arms.

We haven’t been able to get you to take a bottle very easily, so it’s hard for Mommy to leave you for an extended amount of time. We’ve been working on getting a routine down with you and you’ll nap in the afternoons now when your brother is napping.

Here are some more things that you’re doing:

• You have become a very happy baby. You love to smile and laugh at us, even though you don’t have any sound with your laughs yet!
• You are a good napper, especially in the morning. You will sleep for a couple of hours when we’re out and about and about the same amount in the afternoon.
• You’re very vocal and like to “talk” to us quite a bit.
• You’re now wearing 0-3 month clothes consistently and some 3 month sized clothes.
• Your little thighs have filled out and you have some great rolls on them!
• You definitely recognize us when you see us and if someone else is holding you, you’ll smile instantly when you see us!
• You sleep in your crib every night and most naps.
• You’re sleeping about 7 hours when we first put you down and wake 1-2 times a night.
• You are a water baby and love getting baths!

You have changed so much in such a short amount of time, but we also can’t believe it’s already been three months! You are such a fun, happy little girl and are really showing us your personality and we are excited to see what’s in store!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
