Eleanor {3 months}

My babydoll,

How is possible you are 3 months old? It feels like yesterday I was sitting in your nursery with you, crying my eyes out, begging God for time to inch by so I could soak in every ounce of your squishy newborn body. You continue to amaze me everyday and I continue to fall deeper in love with you.  I had to start working again this month and it's been so difficult at times. You grow so much everyday that I feel like I'm missing out on so much. However, it's only for 3 weeks and you've gotten quality time with your Dada and Grandma. I felt so good knowing they were with you.

10lbs. 14oz. + ?? Haven't gone to the doctor yet.

0-3 clothing, Mama is trying to push off the transition to 3-6 as long as possible

Size 1 diaper, soon Size 2

Nicknames: Sissy, Honey pot, my baby, babes, peanut, baby doll, Eleanor Rosie Poe

Things you Love:

- Still smiling constantly
- Drinking lots of Mama's milk
- waking up promptly at 5:30pm

- eating your hands or Mama/Dada's hands

- Standing in your jumper

- Yelling/cooing/talking loudly

- watching your cousin Lou play
- Reaching for toys, trying to get them in your mouth

- yelling at the fan with Dada
- pulling Mama's hair
- SIT UPS! All day long you are trying to sit up from the laying position
- Standing like a big girl

Things you Dislike:

- Paci, you haven't taken it for a few weeks now

- Still don't like being held super close by most people. You like to look out and move!

- the car :( unless Mama sits in the back with you.

Events:

- Still EBF through Mama's exclusive pumping! I'm at 6ppd, about 45ozpd, trying so hard to keep up with you!

- You spent one week with your Dada and two weeks with your Grandma while Mama worked. You did so well and even got some quality time with your Auntie and Lou.

- You will roll to your back from belly, but you don't love it. You've attempted back to belly on your own but you aren't quite there yet.

- Still sleeping 7:30/8pm - 5:30am on the dot.

- You attended your first wedding! You were so well behaved and looked beautiful.

- We went to Chicago with Auntie and Lou, and had so much fun!

- You don't really use your swing too much anymore, but thats mostly because I've wanted to hold you ever second I can when I got home from work.  Hopefully you'll use it more this summer so Mama can get a few things done around the house :)

- You finally 'play' with toys! You like to grab them, swat at them, and throw them!

- We went to the Lakehouse as a family and you did very well! Vacationing with babies is very different but we wouldn't have it any other way!

Love you more than life baby doll!
