There are no words to sum up how much I love this baby girl.
It is so bizarre how someone who was two distinct microscopic cells only a year ago could be such a huge part of our lives. A year ago we had no idea she’d even exist, and then BOOM… God surprised us with the biggest, most exciting surprise there she was. Now, three months after she was born, I can’t really remember how we ever survived without her. I just love how God blesses us way beyond what we could have ever asked for or imagined.
At three months, our precious Susie Joy is THE happiest, laughing-est baby in the WHOLE WORLD.
She greets us every morning with a HUGE cheesy grin that takes up the bottom half of her face. I think it’s the North Pole genes…
She gurgles and coos and squeals and blows bubbles all day long. Those are the sweetest sounds ever… those sweet little baby noises… but I can already tell we’re going to have quite a talker when she learns some real words. Though I’m pretty sure I’ve heard her say ‘mama’ a few times…
At three months:
- she’s trying her best to grab for things. I’ve learned the hard way to not wear a long necklace around her, and to keep my hair in a ponytail.
- she’s rolling from side to side. She hasn’t rolled over yet, but I feel sure we’re close.
- she’s a tiny little petite thing who weighs ten pounds, five ounces, and is in the FIFTH percentile for weight. {My other two were in the 50-75th}
- she’s 23 inches long, and is in the 25th percentile for height {My other two were 75-95th}
- Her head is 40 centimeters, and in the 60th percentile.
- She’s sleeping through most nights, from 8ish p.m. to 5-6ish a.m. Usually. Though there’s still the random 3 a.m. feeding now and then, at least she greets me with a big cheesy grin even in the middle of the night that make it
almost funsomewhat bearable to drag my weary self out of bed at that ungodly hour. - She loves her daddy, but she’s mostly a Mommy’s Girl. She likes to keep me in her line of sight at all times.
- She’s almost perfect and I thank God for her 172 times a day. What an amazing blessing she is.
