{Three} Months

Evelyn Anne,

 You are three months old... Wow!  While some days it feels like you have been a part of our family forever, other days it doesn't seem at all possible you have been here for 95 whole days!

Your personality is starting to shine.  While you are the sweetest little thing around, you have a tendency to be a little high maintenance.  Your colic is gradually getting better with some days being better than others.  You are all smiles these days and some coo's.  Well, when you want to be.  When you are not smiling you have the best pouty lip around.  You have started to show a preference for momma.  While it melts my heart, I am quite sure it does the opposite for your daddy and Nana when they watch you.  You may have been crying the whole time I am gone but, as soon as you hear my voice, all is right with the world.  

Your sleep has taken a few steps back to what we should expect for you at 3 months.  You go to bed usually around 8-9 after nursing and a nice tight swaddle.  You are back to waking up in the middle of the night, around 4.  You nurse and go right back to sleep until 7.  Daytime napping is what it is... or isn't.  With 3 brothers you are on the go most of the day.  Some days you sleep  while on the go and some days you don't.  You are definitely not that newborn that sleeps all the time anymore.  Your best naps are usually in the swing in the morning.

You have a love affair with your hands.  They are always in you mouth.  Heaven forbid you make use of them and suck your thumb since the binky was a complete FAIL.

You are now, officially, into 3 month clothes.  Momma has kept a select few of the newborns and still shoves you into them on occasion.  You are weighing in at just over 10 pounds these days.  Almost double your birth weight.  Crazy!  You are still my little peanut though.
Evelyn, you are the light of our lives these days.  Your brothers love you so much and momma just can't get enough of you.
