Our newborn in the blink of an eye is now a cooing, smiling, infant with more on her mind than we know. She continues to change daily and it is hard to believe that 3 months ago we were waiting to meet her. She had a big month with her first plane ride, meeting all her aunties and uncles, Baptism and bunch of other adventures.
She loves watching Thomas and Stella and all their activity. Thomas has quickly become her new favorite and every time he is around she is staring and smiling at him. He is loving all her new attention and ability to play with him. In fact today they played the drums and piano together and he was thrilled. He will also be quick to get her a toy and help her grab for it, getting just as excited as Mike and I when she is successful.
Elin is loving her new found ability to sit and stand up with help. She is also getting good at grabbing things and loves to chew on her fingers and anything she can get into her mouth. She still loves bath time and splashing her feet around in the water. We have also taken her in the shower a few times without complaint.
Her schedule has not changed too much since I last posted about it at 2 months. She still eats every 2-3 hours, cluster feeds at night and then sleeps well through the night waking a few times. She loves to snuggle, but has also been sleeping more on her side alone too.
Elin loves to talk with coos, squeals and “purrs.” It is so much fun talking with her and wondering exactly what she is thinking and telling us. She also loves laying in her crib and talking to her mobile and holding her stuffed animals.
I know that I am her mother but I can’t get over her deep blue eyes, long lashes, gummy smile and dark reddish brown hair. She sure has quickly found a place in our hearts and wrapped us around her tiny fingers. Can’t wait to see what the next month brings!
