3 months

Hayley,
This has been a really good month. Your screaming time has gone down considerably and now you really smile. Real smiles. You know me and sometimes I'm the only one who can calm you down and get you to sleep. Of course some nights only Daddy can do that, but mostly it's me. You're starting to sleep for longer periods of time at night. Almost through the whole night depending on when you ate. It's blissful to wake up and it's 5 am instead of 2 am.
Your hair is growing but not very fast and I'm still unable to get that ponytail elastic into your hair.
You spend lots of time with your grandparents. They take turns like good grandparents and each get you once a week while I'm at work.
You really don't like your car seat, you made me carry you through the store yesterday and boy, you're a heavy little snot.
At your 2 month appointment you were 11 1/2 pounds and I'm sure you are much heavier now, although it doesn't seem like you eat very well, you must be doing something right. Although maybe the milk just has so much chocolate running through it, maybe you only need a sip.
You are bigger then the other girls your age and I'm starting to have to box up some of your newborn outfits. You love taking a bath and spend the time staring at your beautiful reflection in the mirror.
We're liking the cloth diaper thing still and even Grandpa Larry will put them on you.
Aunt Summer babysits you often and you aren't very good for her most of the time, but for some reason she still thinks that you're cute.
You sit in your little chair and bat at the little animal rattles and love it, your coordination is getting much better and you almost always hit one if you wack at them. You're getting so close to giggling, it's like it's just on the tip of your tongue but you can't figure it out yet. You're also a TV junkie, you really love that happy picture box of people always talking to you and bright colors. There goes our resolution to not let you watch too much TV.
This month has been great and it's only getting better.
love you,
Mom
