3 months old!
Quinn, today you are 3 months old! I can't believe you are growing up so fast! You are such a beautiful little girl. You've learned so much already and you love to look around and observe the world. You are getting pretty good at holding your head up, you like to try to stand while I am holding you, you love to kick, kick, kick. You now grab on to things like our shirts, hair, blankets, etc. You love to suck on your hands. Daddy and I love how you make eye contact and smile at us when we talk to you. Sometimes you just stare at us, so in love, just like we are with you.
When I nurse you you like to grab my shirt or touch my face or mouth, or just rest your hand against my chest. I am so proud that we have made it to 3 months with exclusive breastfeeding! You are doing such a good job now! I am so glad I can give you "liquid gold" to help you be strong and smart and healthy. We have worked very hard over these past 3 months to figure it out and I can't imagine not connecting with you in this way. Those moments are so precious to me. Everyone was right when they said it would be worth it. I know there will be bumps on the BF road but I am sure we can get past just about anything now!
You weighed 10 lbs, 4 oz on Monday. You are have been sleeping 5-6 hours a night and you are so good at going to sleep on your own!
I love you so much.

My baby is growing up.
Today Quinn stopped nursing and looked up at me and smiled and started talking to me with her cute little noises. Then when I latched her back on she still turned her head a little to lock eyes with me. It was so sweet. She has never done that before.
She is growing up so fast. Jeff says she seems like a little girl now, not an "infant". She is almost 3 months old which means she will no longer be considered a newborn! Quinn is so much more responsive now with her smiles and coos, squeaks and squeals. She loves talking to Daddy the best, they will go back and forth for several minutes. It is super sweet how well she responds to him.

Sweet Mornings
I could never find another love sweeter than you.
Quinn, my favorite time of day are the mornings that I bring you into bed with me and let you fall back asleep on my chest. I feel and hear your breath, heavy at first, and then slowly quieting until all I can feel is the slight rise and fall of your chest against mine.
I'm not sure how many of these mornings we have left, as you have begun to sleep longer at night, making our waking and feeding times a bit later. And then there's that laundry that needs to be folded and those dishes that need to be washed. . . but for now I will choose to savoir these precious moments while you will still fall asleep so soundly against my skin. I love you.
