Three Months

Dear Haley,

Happy three months, my sweet girl! I can't believe it's been three months already! Honestly though, I'm a little glad! You are a much better baby than a newborn, my dear. You are so happy all the time! It seems like ever since you learned to smile you haven't stopped. You even stop right in the middle of nursing just to look up at me and give me a big smile. I absolutely love it!

Let's pause for a few stats:
-You are 9 ish pounds. Probably closer to 10
-No idea how long you are.. (sorry)
-You can officially hold your head up with no problems!
-You can roll from side to side
-You love to stand and don't mind tummy time all that much.
-You are sleeping through the night pretty consistently, which I LOVE!

Also, Miss Haley, you are finally healthy again! You finished your 2nd round of antibiotics at the beginning of this month and we are praying that this is the end of your illnesses at least until the end of the year. We are being very cautious of taking you places now and bundle you up like a mini Eskimo whenever we go outside, even though the weather has been amazingly warm for November in UTAH!

I feel like since you have gotten over your second sinus infection that your personality has finally come to life. As I said before, you love to smile, you are such a happy baby. You love being around people. You absolutely love watching your big sister Kinley. I love the way you look at her with such awe and amazement. And let me tell you, Kinley absolutely loves you! Maybe a little too much sometimes.  A lot of times I need to pry her off of you because she likes to lay on you and hug and kiss you.

You had your baby blessing this month, which was so fun! It was extra special because we were granted permission to bless you at home due to all your illnesses. The circumstances that lead to this were less than ideal, but I will say it was so special to have such a sweet and small celebration of you! We had it at your Gigi and Grandpa's house in Heber City. We kept it small, just had both sets of your grandparents there and your aunts and uncles. It was the perfect celebration!

Haley, we love you so very  much! Life is so much better with you in it!

Love,

Mom.
