Happy Three Months!!


 With other babies the there has been a very real count down to three months when the 'happy baby stage' is alleged to start. Not with Gumdrop. This little child is such a kind wonderful presence. Very calm, very happy. Sleep trained herself. When she starts to get tired we swaddle her and lay her down. Her eyes close and she's out. She naps 3-4 longer naps during the day and wakes up either not at all, or once at night. She loves her baths, isnt much of a spitter upper, and is super cuddly. She likes cheek to cheek. This little person is just the right person to keep home warm and lively this winter. Its going to be fun for all of us to teach her about Christmas this year. I can't believe that three months has already passed without me noticing. Ive had a cold and was home from church today so I took advantage of the precious moments to do a little three month photo shoot. Im sure no one will enjoy looking at all twenty of these little portraits as much as I did as I was taking them, but even so, here they ALL are. The next post is all the selfies I took with M and I after we finished. I hate using the word selfie. Trust me. But when Im always the one holding the camera, I never get a picture of just M and I, so with extra time, I just couldn't resist.

Other things about our gumdrop are that she is taking "dance" from her sister Miss CC.  That class lasts the duration of my makeup application in the morning. CC sits on my bed and hold Gumdrop upright, moving her little feet to the different positions, saying the names of them as they go. Both love this.

... and what else... This is the first baby Ive had who has never used a bottle once. Or a pacifier. She's that sweet and calm.

... and... she does love lavender lotion. She smiles when she sees us get it out, or when we squirt it into our hands and rub them together to warm it up before putting it on her little arms and legs at night.

She is one of the true plump comforts of my life, and we all adore her. Happy three months little M!
