3 Months

My Sweet Rivers Simone

You are three months old.

You are so lovely.

Everyone says what an easy baby you are and your momma agrees.

You hardly fuss as long as you are allowed to be a part of the party - I think the concern I had when I was pregnant with you about worrying about you and your college years because I could already tell you  really like to party, is valid.

You are a very curious baby.

You are able to focus on objects for a very long time like you are dissecting them.

You are a healthy and big baby.

Your dad stepped on the scale with you today and you were 14.8 lbs, I can't wait to see how long you are next month at the doctor's office.

You are really talking a lot and you really like girl talk because your momma is your favorite person to talk to.

You really like watching tv with your dad and he is happy because he finally found a girl who would watch a movie with him since your momma always gets up and wanders around during movies.

You get really excited after you get out of the bath tub but you always get very quiet and still when I massage your feet with baby lotion right afterwards.

You found your hands a few weeks ago and make the cutest slurping sound when you suck on them.

You are very stingy with your smiles and make us work really hard to get one out of you -

but when you do.......oh it melts us.

You cry everytime we put you in your carseat but as soon as we give you a pacifier you are happy.

You REALLY love your pacifiers.

You are really strong and can pretty much stand up as long as we hold your little waist.

You are the BEST sleeper and have been since you were born - it is pretty common for you to sleep from 10 until 7 am........thank you.

I need to clarify, you are the BEST sleeper at night. During the day you hardly sleep at all and I attribute this to your need to party. But you sleep when it counts so thank you.

You love your Mondays with Oma and your Thursdays with Grandma Mogg. I know they treasure that time too.

You have made motherhood so easy and natural for me. It is such a joy to be your momma and to spend the precious moments of your beginning life with you.
