It's amazing how time flies when you're home with a baby! Our baby girl is three months old and weighs twice as much as when she was born. She's growing like a weed and is already wearing six month clothing.
We have had some challenges this month. Bottles are still a challenge but after a "Bottle Stand Off" with her dad, Sadie is finally taking bottles again much to our relief. She's not always happy about it and really lets us know...but if she's hungry, she'll drink it. And this means that Grandma and Grandpa can watch her for longer than 2 hours!
Sadie also stopped sleeping through the night. It was an amazing feeling for almost two weeks she was sleeping from about 10pm to 6am. I had dreams. I felt like a normal person again. I hadn't slept through the night since I was seven months pregnant. And then, one night, she just stopped. She has been either getting up about 3 or 4 am to eat or she sleeps until about 5...neither of which we're crazy about. But we are just thankful that she sleeps in long stretches and that sometimes she is still sleeping through the night. We know that she can do it and that she'll get there again someday.
BUT, Sadie looks at us and smiles. And laughs. And turns to our voices. And snuggles into our necks when she's sleepy. And it makes it all worth it. She knows who we are and loves us.
