3 Months Old


Dear Eleanor and Violet,

How are we already a quarter of the way through your first year already?!!? I wish I could magically slow things down! But at the same time, I'm relieved to be at 3 months now. This is when the real fun begins!

We've seen a lot of great development from you both this month! You both have gotten so strong! You both can lift your heads up fully on your tummy's now! You both will actually tolerate a few minutes of tummy time now because you can look around! You both still cry after about 15 minutes, but at least we can entertain you for a little while.

We haven't seen anyone roll over since Violet did last month. This leaves me wondering if Violet's roll was a complete accident. Both of you are trying really hard though. You'll both rock during tummy time like you are trying to roll, and even sometimes get on your side, but not quite all the way over yet! Keep working on it girls! I fully expect to see you both roll this next month! :)

Ella, you've gotten really strong legs this month. You love to stand on our laps! You also love to kick your legs. All month I've noticed you kicking at your toys on the floor mat! (Violet, you love to kick the toys on the mat too!)

Violet, you have started trying to sit up on your own! I put you down on your floor pillow, and you strain you neck out trying so hard to sit up! You smile so wide when I help you up! You really love sitting up, being about to look around the room! (Ella, you love to sit up too!)

We think you are both starting to teeth now. Both of you are munching on your hands like crazy, and starting to drool! You both love when we rub your gums too. I don't expect to see any teeth for another couple of months, but I'm pretty sure they are starting to work their way up!

The most exciting thing from this month is that you girls are starting to interact now!! You both love to be sitting up facing each other! You with make eye contact, then start "talking" to each other and smiling! Sometimes you will be on the nursing pillow, with one asleep, and the other will start talking, trying to get the others attention. You both just love interacting with each other! I can't wait to watch how you relationship grows!

The other extra special exciting thing from this month, you both JUST started laughing! In fact, I just heard Ella's laugh for the first time yesterday! I was tickling you Ella, and you chuckled a little! You did it twice! And Violet, I heard your laugh for the first time today! Same as with Ella, I was tickling you and you giggled! Both are just the most adorable things I've ever heard! I'm looking forward to this month being full of laughter!

It's amazing how fast you learn at this young age! The first two years are just so fun to watch, with you learning something new every day! You girls make me so proud with how much you've learned already! We all love you so much!

Love,
Mommy
