Lennon 3 months

Dear Lennon,

Here we are almost a week past your three month mark, and I'm just getting around to this! Life as a mom of three has totally thrown our groove off, but I wouldn't have it any other way. You make me so amazingly happy. You are seriously like a ray of sunshine every single day. So content and cheerful, and always happy to see me. (Unlike your siblings, now that they're growing up that's not always the case! ;)) We all adore you and are so thankful for you every day. This month you have really become alert and noticing your surroundings. You "talk" all day long, trying to compete with your always-talking siblings. You are holding your head up like a champ and LOVE tummy time. You love sleeping on your tummy too and have great naps that way. I always make sure I'm watching close by, but when you're more comfortable, I am too. You have gone 8-10 hours at night most nights, but we're still trying to get it set in stone. When you do wake up, it's just to eat a little and you're right back to bed, so I don't mind it too much. I've always loved breast feeding with each baby, and that love continues with you too. You're a champ eater and I'm sure when we introduce solids in a few months you'll love them too. You finally take a binky but you don't have to have it so it's kinda a win win! It soothes you but you can self soothe too ;) You squeal and shriek with happiness every time we put you in a bath. You're a water baby for sure. I can't wait to start swimming with you this summer!

This month you had a lot of excitement. We went to Disneyland, and you were so good. You had allergies and clogged tear ducts so you weren't feeling great but you were still so content and happy just to be looking around. We are making a big move to Utah in a few weeks for daddy's new job, and we are really excited to start a new adventure there. I know you'll adjust and not know anything is different, but as your siblings are sure going to notice, I hope we can keep the chaos to a minimum. I will have to start working once we move, so I'm really hoping to find something that accommodates me being a mother first. It will be so hard to leave you, and Luke and Ali.

Thank you for being you, Lennon girl! You really are the sweetest baby and I can't get enough of you.

Love,

Mom
