Dear Violet,
Happy 3 Months! You continue to be a wonderful & happy baby. Always sharing your smiles with anyone around. You love to study & watch your sisters, and they love to study & watch you. They are just thrilled when you catch your fingers in their hair, or reach out to touch their ears. You have started to try to reach out and grasp things, and closely observe the tiniest bits of lint on my shirt. You haven't quite gotten good enough to purposefully grab those things yet, just your basic batting & accidentally getting things caught in your fingers.
You are now 15lbs 4oz, and have finally fallen behind Lincoln in weight (who was already 17lbs 5oz at this age). You look just as chubby if not chubbier than all of them though. Your cheeks really are amazing & you are just so squeezable! Needless to say, you continue to eat well. You also are an awesome sleeper, waking only once per night typically, sometimes you have even slept all night long. It is rare that you wake more than once, and if you do it is usually because we went to bed earlier than usual.
You are also quite the talker. You practice with your voice all of the time when people are talking back to you. Otherwise you are typically quiet, observing everything around you.
Unfortunately, I have failed at putting you down very often for tummy time or even flat on your back time. You spend most of your time in the swing, on the couch, or in your parent's arms. Therefore you are really no where close to rolling, and are a bit behind practicing lifting your chest/head up off the ground and perfecting your head stability and control. I am fully confident that you will learn these things in time. And I am really in no rush for you to grow up. :)
Love,
Your Mommy
