Dear Alice,
Today you are 3 months old, or should I say Happy Quarter Birthday!
You were weighed last week and you now weigh 12lb 8oz, and were spot on for your age. You are completely in your 3 – 6 month clothes, and some of the trousers are actually a little short for you!
Over the last week you have found your thumb, and you are now loving a good thumb suck to comfort yourself – which gives me a little more time to do things without having to carry you round / put my fingers in your mouth all the time.
You are becoming more aware of your arms and legs, although you still have no co-ordination. However if you want something you flail around wildly until you eventually get it, when you look very pleased with yourself!
We now get many many smiles, and we almost get giggles – although they're more like little squeaks at the moment. You also talk to us, and coo and purr at us to express your amusement, generally at daddy because he's much better. Little baby noises are amazing!
You are feeding less often, and when you're awake you want to spend some time playing and cuddling without feeding. Unfortunately you are still waking up at night, and you've actually got a bit worse this month, having a few bad nights where you've been up 5 / 6 times. Most of the time it's 3 times a night, but you generally don't fuss too much and just want to feed.
You are trying to sit up and enjoy standing with support, where you are definitely trying to balance yourself! You don't really like being held like a baby anymore, and would much rather be propped up and looking around. You like looking at lights, faces, and the TV. I'm a bit torn – do I let you watch the TV already?! But you just seem to enjoy the lights and the colours.
You love listening to music and dancing with daddy, and you seem to prefer daddy's singing to mine unfortunately! Daddy would also say your favourite music is Fatboy Slim, and you do seem to enjoy that more than anything I play to you.
You're favourite thing in the world is being naked, and you spend hours of your day just kicking around being naked.
Your granddad and nanny bought you a play gym this month, which you LOVE. You spend lots of time kicking around on your mat, trying to reach the toy and scrunching the flower up.
We've moved house this week so you'll have plenty of room to grow and explore, and I'm already planning where we can put a paddling pool and a sandpit one day! You are also having a big space to play in the house, and I'm excited to get a big comfy rug for you to crawl round on.
This month was also both your great grandmas birthdays, with one being 70 and one being 80, so we've been to lots of parties and you've been admired and adored by lots of family! You are so lucky to have so many people around you who love you so much.
Talking of people who love you, mummy and daddy love you more than anything in the world. You are amazing.
With love and light xo
