Katelyn @ 3 Months

Our sweet little sister is growing and growing (and sleeping! and smiling!) We are having tons of fun with her. At 3 months, Katelyn:

• Wears 3-6 month onesies she's long!) and 3 month clothes. I can't believe I've put away newborn clothes once again!
• Still sleeps in her carseat at night… in her room. BUT she fairly consistently sleeps 7-8 hours for her first stretch! I have been able to sleep until 6:45 a couple nights before she wakes up to eat-- that is amazing for this age.
• Is cuddly and snuggly, wants to be held and talked to, and wants to make eye contact. Is very happy with the people close to her.
• Takes 3 decent naps during the day - her evening one is short. But this is super normal
• Holds her head up well but still isn't quite as strong for tummy time/rolling over. She hates tummy time.
• Loves baths with Mommy
• Likes the swing okay, but prefers being upright in the Bumbo
• LOVES the trees - could stare at them all day! 
• Is the most content little girl I have met. She seriously doesn't make a peep unless she needs something, except she is the biggest conversationalist ever! I can't believe how much she coos and talks to you, back and forth like a real conversation too. It's the sweetest thing.
• Smiles with her entire face. She scrunches her nose up and gives the biggest smile - so humbling and sweet.
• Likes car rides for the most part
• Loves her big sister and curly mop in her face (most of the time)

We LOVE you so much, Baby Kate!!

Katelyn at 2 Months

I'm definitely still behind on writing these! But not on documenting the amazing things that our little Katelyn is doing. We had the best month during her second month, and she even slept 7 hours one night followed by 8 hours the next! This is something her big sister didn't do for almost a year. She also smiles at us as you can see in the picture below :)

At 2 months, Katelyn:

• Just switched to size 1 diapers, wears newborn clothes and 0-3 month onesies, but also some 3 month outfits.
• Sleeps well at night, waking once or twice (and then moving to bed with me which is so sweet!)
• Started smiling and loves conversing with us - "talks" up a storm with her eyes very focused on us and speaks with a little "birdie voice"
• Gets over-stimulated easily by loud noises and bright light. She is a calmer girl and needs her quiet time, especially to fall asleep. She's super alert and doesn't sleep just anywhere like Kennedy or most newborns do.
• Stretches her body so much in the morning, this cute little body stretch from the tops of her fingers to the bottoms of her toes. So sweet!
• Loves looking at the light, the patterns the blinds make, etc.
• Doesn't like the bouncer or swing or boppy as much as Kennedy. Prefers to be held almost all of the time! 
• Sleeps 9pm-9am with average 2 wake-ups
• Measured 60th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height. Long and lean!
• Gets wavy hair with tiny beginnings of a curl when she bathes - and she loves the bath!

We are just loving up on our little sister sooo much!!!
