I can't believe Miss Anna is 3 months old! I remember this time with Madelyn, and feeling like I was just obsessed with her every move. The exact same is happening now. I remember feeling like I couldn't get enough of every look, every move, every expression. Now, as I get ready to go back to work, I'm soaking in every second with Anna and M these last few days before I go back.
The last month has been so.much.fun with Anna Banan. She's such a easy going baby but you can see she's starting to develop her own little personality. She's not a great napper, so figuring out how to make her comfortable enough to get some sleep during the day is a bit of a challenge. She doesn't really fuss, she just wiggles and squirms and is restless in her crib. Actually, motion is her middle name. She literally never.stops.moving. I swear shes going to be turning over soon. Anna's sleep at night is awesome. She started doing 12 hours right around 9/10 weeks, just like Madelyn did, and now as we approach 14 weeks, she's consistently doing those long stretches (knock on wood!)
One of the most fun developments over the last week has been, laughing! The person she smiles and laughs the most for - Madelyn! It is the neatest thing ever to watch Madelyn play with and talk sweetly to her, Anna just absolutely lights up :) Every now and then she'll light up the same for me or Brian, but it seems like M is her favorite right now!
Anna weighs approximately 13lbs 10 oz and she's definitely tall for her age. I think because of her height and hair, she looks a little older than 3 months. I met someone the other day who's 9 month old daughter just hit 15 lbs, and she couldn't believe Anna was only 3 months. Maybe because of her big(ger) birth weight, she's always had good neck strength and control, and she can hold herself up really well. Probably about 2 weeks ago, she found her hands, and she is mesmerized with them. When I put her down on her mat to play, she's way more interested in playing with her hands than the animals hanging above.
Newborns grow and change a little every day, it's just the most incredible thing. One day I noticed her eyelashes looked 3x longer, another day her hair seemed so much thicker, and looking back at pictures of her first days, she's changed SO much. Being home and spending this time with my munchkins has been such a blessing. I'll never forget all the fun we had and how special these first few months with Anna have been. I look forward to watching you continue to grow sweet girl, I love you so, so much!
I caught her laugh, on camera :)
it's impossible to tame her hair!
first bath together!
sisterly love
smiles for M
