Miriam Elayne, you are three months old!  What an exciting month for you!  On Sept 10th, you discovered you had hands.  Momma was in the kitchen making you a bottle, and when I came back to you on your play mat, you were looking at your left hand like it was an alien – ha ha!

Speaking of your play mat, you are really good at playing on your own already.  Your favorite toy this month became Froggy – you coo and coo with him and have also learned to grasp him by bringing your hands together.  You and he hug a lot each day! This lead us to wonder if your favorite color could be green.  We think so because when you are out for runs/walks/at FitMom with Mommy, you love staring at the green trees too.

At your 2-month check on 9.9.14, you weighed in at 11 lbs and measured 22.5″ long.  The doctor checked all your reflexes, vitals, and developmental milestones – you are above average to advanced in all areas!  Great job, sweet girl!!

Your first set of (five) immunizations was also on Sept 9th.  You did great but you were definitely sad and scared.  Mommy held you tight and we cuddled for the rest of the day as you recovered.  We discovered this month that your tummy prefers soy formula over any other; this was a very helpful discovery and has definitely lowered the amount of laundry you go through each day 🙂

In a developmentally appropriate way, you have your hands in your mouth much of the day … this has lead to you putting everything in your mouth and even beginning to hold your bottle on your own.  That hand-eye coordination is coming along very nicely!

You took your first flight this month too! We spent Oct 2 – 5 in the Loveland, CO area; Mommy was on business there with The GO Exchange, and we celebrated Daddy’s 38th birthday with a visit to Estes Park and with Momma’s sister and her family that live in the area. You were an awesome flyer – you nursed and slept nearly the whole flights 🙂 #mommyanddaddyweregrateful

Miriam Elayne, you become a greater joy with each passing day! You still sleep through the night except for one feeding and you are so close to rolling over already. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of who you are becoming and can’t wait to see how each month shows us more of who God designed you to uniquely be!!

You are our sweet, beautiful, smart, and brave Miriam!
You are our beloved sunshine!
