3 Months Old

Zoë Kayte, you are 3 months old today!

Here's what you've been up to: 

- You are smiling pretty regularly. You like when Zeke talks with you. You gave him some really big smiles last week!

- You are holding your head up better. You do get tired and bobble quite a bit, but you are getting strong. 

- You are wearing 0-3 and 3 month clothes! And size 1 diapers, although we are doing mostly cloth now. You weigh approximately 11 pounds. 

- You are starting to sleep a 4 hour stretch, from 11-3, pretty regularly. I think we are about to enter 3 naps a day because you are definitely more active and alert during parts of the day now. You'll sit in your bouncer and enjoy watching everyone. If you're in another room, you'll often cry if you're left alone; once we bring you in with us, you are ok. You seem to enjoy the company :) 

- You are looking around at your surroundings and have started kicking your legs quite a bit. 

 - You have begun talking to us. Such a sweet little coo. 

- I just wanted to take a picture of us snuggling and you suddenly smiled. Perfection! 

- Wearing one of Mommy's baby sweaters on a cool, Fall morning. 

-For your first Halloween you were a pumpkin! A very darling one! You rode around in Mommy's wrap and slept through most everything!  

- You mostly breastfeed now. Some days you take a bottle, but usually only 2-4 oz. at the most! Levi keeps trying to feed you food when you sit next to him at meals. Only one day have I found a veggie straw sticking out of your mouth. That was scary! 

Zoë Kayte, you are our darling, lovely baby girl. These first 3 months have gone quickly and have been enjoyable. You are a sweet-tempered baby and seem to love your brothers. Your main attention is focused on Mommy, but you do seem to have room in your heart for others :) We look forward to this holiday season celebrating your first Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and beyond!
