Happy 3 Months Baby-Girl!


McNugget,

You are three months old today. You and I have spent the last 93 days together - learning about each other, smiling and sqealing when we see each other, and just getting to know our future 'partner in crime'. While your daddy is busy taking care of us, we snuggle on the couch and watch TV (including shows that I will never let you watch when you're old enough to view the tv as more than just flashing lights and sounds). At night I read you a story or two, and get you ready for bed, watching you - while you're taking in everything around you.

My favorite things are listening to you on the monitor as you wake up in the morning. It seriously is the best way to wake up, knowing that you're in the room next to me getting ready for another beautiful day. You are the most pleasant and beautiful baby - everyone says so. Even your horrible colds haven't gotten you down.

You're always ready to give us a smile when we talk to you and you realize that you recognize us. You're starting to expand your reach beyond just your tiny clenched fists, and are just now learning to grab on to things (like my hair and earrings and your blankets), and that physical interaction puts me over the moon. Your daddy helps you do your 'tummy time' nearly everyday, and we can see you getting stronger each week. I love giving you kisses which you open your mouth to feel. Your favorite things right now are 'naked time' after your diaper changes, sucking on your hand, and waking up after a good long nap. Taking photos of you is getting harder as you kick and move all over, but that challenge makes me laugh.

We are so very lucky to have you as a daughter; everyday you give us a gift by just being you. I am dreaming about our next three months together which will include a full new wardrobe for you - and many more adventures of Mommy & McNugget.

Love you always baby-girl. Hugs and open-mouth baby kisses from me to you.

Your Mama
