three months

AUSTIN, YOU ARE THREE MONTHS OLD!!

• you weigh 11 lbs. and 2 oz.
  
• you are around 24 inches long.
• you are in a size 1 diaper.
• you are in size 0-3 months clothes, and some 3 months.
• you have started really smiling a lot.  still no laughs out loud.  i'm sure it will come soon!

• you are happy through the day as long as you are held.  sometimes i can put you in your swing or on your play mat for a few minutes.  for the most part, you want to be in my lap.

• you are definitely a girl after your momma's heart.  we sleep in pretty late in the mornings!
• you have started going to bed much earlier, and are comfortable with your pack-n-play.  i've tried to get you to nap in your crib some, but you don't care for it too much.
• you are still nursing, and as much as i have complained about it before, i'm starting to really love that time with you.  you eat every 3-4 hours.  sometimes during the night you will go a little longer.

• you will pull yourself up to a standing position if we hold on to your hands.  you get so proud of yourself and smile really big!
• you have baby-fine hair, and i've tried and tried to get bows to stay in.  so far i haven't been successful.  so, we are now stocked with headbands of all colors.  =)
• you had your first visit with santa clause.  he thought you were so precious.  of course.  you even got a kiss from him!

• you have a lot of your daddy in you, but i firmly believe that you look like me.  maybe it's just wishful thinking.
• you have gotten more and more on a routine.  you take a morning nap and an afternoon nap.  you don't sleep very good in the afternoons though.

• you actually really like and enjoy bath time now, instead of just tolerating it.
• you are starting to really drool and stick your tongue out all of the time, which means... yes, teething!  i feel of your gums every day but so far, nothing is there.
  

i love you more than i could have imagined!
