Thirteen Weeks

Dear Alice,

Happy three month birthday! About this time I really want to remember how laid back you are. I'm sure I'll need to be reminded that there was a time when you were very calm and chill. I'll look back on this and be so grateful at what an easy baby you were. Your brother wasn't a difficult baby, but he certainly wasn't as relaxed as you are. I also want to remember how happy you get when you see me. Your eyes light up, and you get the biggest, sweetest grin on your face. You're going to be just as much of a heart breaker as Aidan, and I love it!

Love, Mama

Twelve Weeks

Dear Alice,

Can it really already be twelve weeks since you were first placed in my arms? It's been such a whirlwind that I feel like I haven't been able to devote nearly as much time to you as I got to with your brother when he was as little as you are now. I try not to feel guilty about it since it's beyond my control, but I still sometimes feel bad that you don't get the undivided attention that you deserve.

Last week, you showed me how well you've learned to hold your head up. You're still not a big fan of tummy time, but every day we get a few more minutes out of you. Soon enough you'll be rolling around. Just don't grow up too quickly, ok?

Love, Mama

Eleven Weeks

Dear Alice,

Smiling must be your favorite because you spent all weekend doing nothing but smiling at me. I can't believe how quickly you seem to picking up on things! You were trying to copy faces I was making at you along with all of those smiles you were giving me. It made me laugh so much! You're growing so fast and beginning to have such a wonderful personality. Don't grow too quickly though, baby. We've got all the time in the world!

Love, Mama

Ten Weeks Plus three

Dear Alice,

Daddy and I finally heard you laugh! It was so sweet and a little raspy. I just couldn't believe how wonderful it would sound when we finally heard it. I can't wait for you to laugh as much and as often as Aidan does. I want our home to always be filled with the sound of laughter.

You've now officially missed your two month check up twice. There have been some issues with getting you adding to our insurance that we thought was finally cleared up, but when Daddy took you this morning for your appointment, you still hadn't been added. Hopefully after today, it'll all be sorted out, and we can finally see how much you've grown since your two week check up.

Love, Mama
