tessa joy,
happy three months baby! you are growing so fast. i can tell you are getting heavier because carrying you in your carseat is getting pretty hard for me these days. you are also starting to get fuller cheeks and some rolls on your upper legs. i love to squeeze your perfectly squishy thighs. you started napping on your tummy this month. you love sleeping on your tummy, but i only let you during the day when i can monitor you. you usually take 3 hour naps in the afternoon lately. you've also been sleeping 7 hour stretches at night, except on july 6th when you slept 9.5 hours straight. you're becoming such a good sleeper baby. sometimes at night i rock you extra long so i can snuggle you. your motor skills are continuing to develop as you bat at your toys. you love your play mat and staring at yourself in the mirror. you still aren't a fan of tummy time, but i think that's motivating you to roll over. every time we put you on your tummy you turn to your side. you're getting so close to rolling over! it is such a joy to watch you continuing to develop and learn new skills. you've experienced a lot of firsts this month and we can't wait to see you experience more. we love you so much baby!
love,
mom and dad
