Sam & Amelia

Sam,
I can’t believe you’re three months old! Your biggest milestone this month has been sleeping through the night. On our trip to New Orleans three weeks ago, you surprised us by sleeping 8-9 hours overnight. You’re also working on taking longer naps during the day. In the last week you’ve taken several 3-4 hour naps in the afternoon. You’re smiling a lot more these days and love to be held and talked to. I can tell you’re using your hands more to discover your world – you grab at your blanket, put your hand over your face and feel around, and squeeze our fingers tighter. Sucking on your thumb, or trying to put your whole fist in your mouth, is one of your favorite things to do now. While lying on your playmat, you can swing your arms at the toys hanging above your head and on the mat next to you. You kick your feet and swing your arms when you get excited – it’s so cute! Another cute thing you’ve been doing is sticking out your bottom lip when you are unhappy. Sometimes you follow through with a cry and sometimes not. It’s hard not to laugh because you’re little face is so cute! Your hair is growing longer and is still light brown. Who knows what color it will turn out to be – mom and dad both had blonde hair when we were little.
Love,
Mom
