Dear Reese:
At three months you are pure joy. You are getting easier and easier (sleeping better & not wanting to constantly be held) - pretty much just the best baby we could ever hope for.
I am obsessed with your happy smile. You give the BEST big smiles and laughs. Every morning when you first wake up I get greeted with your gummy grin and it makes my morning.
You still do not enjoy a pacifier. Occasionally you will take it, but it generally gets spit out after a minute or two. Your brother just doesn't get it - he keeps trying to (pretty much cram) it into your mouth, and you smile and spit it back out. ha! You have found your fingers, however. You LOVE them. We predict that you will be a thumb sucker.
You have turned into a great little sleeper (thank in part to finding those fingers). About halfway through the month you dropped your late night 10:30 pm feeding. So now I feed you at 7:00 pm and you go down for the night. You usually wake up about 4:00 am to eat again and then go back to sleep. Slowly you are getting a bit of a nap routine but it's hard with our schedule.
You adore your brother and he adores you right back. He's always giving you blankets, toys to play with, and little stuffed animals. He's also very protective. If there are other kids around looking at you he stays right by your side. One day we were at a birthday party and a little girl a little younger than Beckett kept touching you. Beckett walked up as soon as he saw and repeatedly moved the little girl's hand each time and didn't say a word. When she left, so did he. It was pretty cute how he handled it and made sure you were left alone.
Your Dada is just as smitten. Every day he says, "Man, she is such a beautiful baby. Seriously, like a REALLY beautiful baby." He's right. :)
By the way, while I was taking these pictures your brother was in the background playing his "drums." Funny boy.
I adore this picture of you two.
Your sweet cheeks get lots of kissing.
We love you so much sweet girl.
Love,
Momma
