Today I’m sharing a letter to my daughter Annabelle. From 3 month milestones to your baby favorites, enjoy reading about our daughter at three months old.
Dear Annabelle
Your three month birthday is here! Hooray! It has become quite evident to your Daddy and me that every month you are going to be growing and changing by leaps and bounds. This past month has been especially exciting. You learned to roll over, started talking to your toys, and LAUGHED! You laughed a big beautiful belly laugh and it brought tears to your Mommy’s eyes. Tears of joy of course!
We’ve learned that you are a lover of mornings. Must be something about getting to start a new day that makes you smile so big! On the weekends, you like to stay in bed, leaning against your Daddy’s knees while grinning away. During the week, you enjoy playing on your toy mat or kicking your feet while sitting in your rocking chair. You love to hold your bunny while you kick your blanket off your legs! Oh … that bunny.
You have officially decided that your Bunny is your FIRST favorite toy. You like to rub her on your face, suck on her poor head, and hold her close when you are sleepy. When you get sleepy at night though, you often throw a little fit. It’s okay – we still love you when you cry. We think that you hate that the day is coming to an end – and you also have to find a way to use up the rest of your energy, so screaming it is! The only thing that calms you down is the fan in the bathroom. You love the sound of that fan. You sleep great when you’re snuggled in your birdie sleeper. Sometimes you stay asleep for 5 hours at night.
Three Months Old
You like to suck on your fists, Mommy’s shoulder, or anything you can get in your mouth. You love your binky – especially now that it is attached to Bunny! When Daddy comes home in the evenings, sometimes you pretend you are shy and hide behind Bunny’s face. Other times, you smile that big smile of yours and melt his heart.
You are still wearing size 1 diapers, mostly all 3 month clothing, and lots of hair bows. You prefer to sit or stand when someone holds you and have a very strong neck. You weighed around 12 lbs 5 oz last time Mommy put you on a scale. You have new friends – Piper and Grayson – that you met at Mommy and Me group! Someday soon you will be crawling after them…but for now you just like to look at them. This weekend you are having your Easter pictures taken with a real live bunny! You have a beautiful pastel tutu, as well as an adorable Easter dress, to wear from your Noni. She came to visit you on your three month birthday and you showed her how you can laugh. It was pretty amazing.
We love you to the moon and back sweet Annabelle. You make us oh-so-happy.
Love, Mommy and Daddy
She’s so beautiful! How fun that she loves her bunny so much and will be able to take pictures with a real one!
Thank you! We have been searching for another bunny in case something happens to hers and it seems they do not exist anywhere!
How is it even possible that she’s this old already/!?!??! Just nuts!!!
