Three months of knowing heaven on earth. - Mallie Lynn

The best is yet to come and baby that's no lie.  Let that be our theme song for your third month of life.  We finally feel like we are getting to know you and my mind is once again blown by the abundant blessings God has bestowed upon us.  You are feeling much better and it shows.  We see you awake with a smile on your face, observing the world around you, as you

listen // watch // smell // touch // your way around.

 It all just makes you want to put on your dancin' pants! 

Your spirit is calm and your soul is gentle, of this I am sure.  You can be content and at peace on your own with eyes wide open upon wakening or falling asleep.  You don't need us to be there to assure you the world is alright; though when you see our faces pop over the crib your body can't hide it's excitement.  Every single time, we are met with a wide mouth grin and gitty arms and legs as you bounce around in the happiest of greetings. You have found your hands and with them a new enjoyment of sitting in your swing or lying on your play mat.  You love to bat at your animals and grab a hold of fingers or play rings.  You are a bookworm like your brother and are completely content sitting on our laps listening to a story when feeling well.    
You are experiencing far less discomfort than before, though we still have a rough period of digestion that finds us at least once every day.   There is still no such thing as a schedule for your life.  Some days you sleep like a teenager, but most you are awake and fully standing at attention 85% of the time.  We have made such progress and are so thankful to see your happier side but are anxious to figure out the entire puzzle.  In this next month we hope to find out what other food(s) could be triggering your intolerance issues.

You adore listening to books, watching your brother dance and sing, seeing mommy or daddy after a little snooze, bath time, miracle blanket. 

Dislikes: gassy belly, being cold. having your hands touched, being tired
