I can not believe my baby girl is 3 months old today. Our journey with Hailey has been different than it was with Kyle. Hailey is so dainty, such a little princess girl. I think some of her daintiness is due to the fact she is a girl, but the other contribution is her eating. She is still not eating as much as she should be. We have her on "zantac" for babies, it is believed she has acid reflux. Though we are BLESSED to have an overall strong and healthy baby girl, there is still the concern of her eating enough.
Hailey is a little easier than Kyle was. For the first 6 months of Kyle's life he would NOT let me put him down. He was literally on me 24/7. Hailey will go down for short naps and for the most part if I put her in a seat, or recently the walker (not to walk just to hang) she will stay for a bit. A newer development is that she is sleeping in the crib more at night...she was cuddling with us every night, it was the only way she would sleep.
I also feel like I am still getting to know her. With Kyle before he would shout a sound I knew his need, she is more difficult. I blame this on some postpartum depression. A difficult subject to discuss, and to admit but strangely not so difficult to write about. I also in my defense need to say she never really was a crier. Just recently she will now fuss when she is hungry which is a huge and welcome cry in my world.
She is a little low in weight but super strong and growing. She can roll both ways, she holds her neck on her own and recently she shared with us her first giggles. She is ticklish, and though still learning the laughing bit will curl up and smile at you with a smile that could light up the universe.
I am so blessed to have the children I have. As is any mother! I still look at my babies in amazement. I can't believe I brought these two little people into the world and the connection I have with them.
