Dear Sophia: 3 Months Old

Dear Sophia,

This week you turned 3 months old! This month has been a busy one with lots of changes. We moved out of our flat this month and you were such a good girl, you have managed to adapt well to being in a new place and around new people.

We’ve been in Ludlow for a week now and I can tell you are missing your Daddy. We will have lots of fun together at the weekends though!

This month you have been…

Eating

Eating is pretty much the same this month. You are eating around 6 times a day, every 3-4 hours and having around 6 ounces each time. We noticed that you have been getting hungrier earlier so have moved onto hungry baby milk to see if that satisfies you a bit better.

Sleeping

For the last three weeks you’ve been sleeping through the night which is wonderful! After your bath you go into your moses basket and tend to sleep through until around 6am or 7am. When we go to bed we usually give you a dream feed to keep you going until morning.

You are sleeping a bit less during the day but usually have two or three good naps.

Developing

• Teething. You are teething at the moment and have a tiny white tooth poking through. It’s obvious your gums are bothering you as you spend most of your time chomping on your fist but you haven’t made a fuss at all.
• Mini push ups. You have been spending more time on your playmat and on your tummy. You can now push yourself up with your arms and look around. We put toys just out of your grasp and you desperately try to reach them by kicking your legs and trying to pull yourself along. Your not quite moving yet but I don’t think it’ll be long!
• Half rolling. You can roll from your side to your back and nearly from your side to your tummy. Your also very close to rolling over from your back to your tummy.
• Grasping. You can now fully grasp your toys and pull them towards your mouth. Your hand-eye coordination has improved lots this month.
• Talking. You are still a chatterbox! You love to chatter away to anyone you see with lots of expression.
• Growing. You have nearly outgrown your 0-3 month trousers and babygrows now as you are so tall! Your 0-3 month tops still fit just fine for now.

You are such a happy little girl and a little ray of sunshine. We can’t imagine life without you anymore and wouldn’t want to. You bring so much joy to our little family, the missing piece of the puzzle. You are growing more amazing and adorable everyday. We love you to pieces!

Happy 3 month birthday beautiful girl!

Lots of love from Mummy and Daddy.xxx
