My sweet B. I can’t believe it’s already been THREE months since you arrived at our house. You’ve already changed and grown so much (you were just weighed last week and are topping the scales at exactly 12 pounds). You are just so sweet.
Once I figured out that dairy and gluten weren’t good for your yummy, you’ve been the happiest baby. You only cry when you are hungry or tired (and occasionally when a burp is stuck). You have the sweetest smile. When daddy is holding you on his lap while we eat dinner, you just stare at me and give me the biggest smile. And, I’m a total puddle of mush.
While you are happy most of the time, you don’t relax very well. You don’t snuggle up on mommy’s chest and just relax your little head in the nook of my neck. I guess it’s because you don’t want to miss anything. Hopefully soon you’ll realize you aren’t missing much and you’ll go back to being my snuggly sweetness.
We had your partial tongue-tie snipped at just a couple days old, but you still have a high palate. Because of this, (I think) you don’t take a paci. And, the idea of your hands is super alluring to you, but you only chomp/suck on your knuckles and don’t successfully get any fingers in your mouth. You want to, but it just doesn’t happen. It does however, result in very slobbery fingers.
You love to sit in the bouncy seat and watch the monkey and frog move up and down. You giggle and coo at them. You aren’t a fan of tummy time, or really playing on your playtime mat for any period of time. But you sure love your swing. And your sisters. They get some of your best smiles, too.
And just so it’s on record, I just took these pictures two days after your official three month birthday! I have since, at the suggestion of your aunt, put a reminder in my phone. I really, truly don’t think it’s because you are numero quatro. Honestly, it’s because your birthday is like a total different time of the month then I’m used to. Your sisters are the 14th, 13th and 15th. And then you are the 29th. It throws mommy for a loop. But, I’ll do better!
We love you sweet Baby B! We know you are going to keep growing and changing more and more every month, so we have to stop and recognize everything as it happens.
PS. I did get one picture of you on your actual three month birthday doing what you do best. Eating. And falling asleep on mommy while doing so.
PPS. We did go to the aquarium for your three month birthday and got a very cool behind the scenes tour. So, you can’t ever say we didn’t celebrate it in style!

She is SUCH a doll! I love that red hair!
Thank you! These red heads constantly puzzle us. I don’t know the odds of a recessive gene being that strong. It’s sort of crazy that we have three redheads!
she’s so cute – can’t wait to see her and all of you in a few weeks
Happy 3 months cutie pie! I like how your mommy documents all your doing at specific ages. I think I will try that for your cousins 8 months. You’ll find your fingers…Logan is sending finger soothing juju your way.
She is absolutely beautiful. It’s funny how each baby we have is different from the other (s). My second was nothing like his big brother. He still isn’t.
i can’t even stand how cute that baby is. she is darling. and it’s like she totally knows you want to eat her up!
It’s so true that siblings can get the biggest smiles ever out of them. I’m glad you figured out her tummy issues!
What a sweetheart! I remember those early days of getting to know each other. They grow so very quickly, don’t they?
Aww this is the cutest ode to Baby B’s birthday. What precious memories and photos to capture forever! I just adore this idea 😉
She is adorable and yay for redheads. Redheads rock!! 🙂
She is precious…
LOVE that face
OMG she is sooo adorable!!! My daughter has a small tongue tie also but we didn’t snip it yet. I probably should have when she was an infant. Happy 3 months!
No way she is already 3 months, no way! She is just the sweetest!
She is adorable! how funny that your other three kids birthdays are three days in a row!
She’s beautiful! That is an amazing time, so glad to see you’re enjoying it!
What a sweetie! I remember when my son was that little. He is almost two.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that forgets to take all the monthly pictures. And most of my pictures are of my little one, asleep…. while nursing.
Oh my goodness she is getting so big!! I love that sly little smile she is giving in the 2nd picture!!
Love these pictures. She is a cutie!
Baby B is such a doll. I can’t wait to see all you beautiful girls in person. Hugs, Grammy Lura
What a beautiful little girl! Her hair is so perfect!
oooh on I want to nom on those fingers. It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve seen ya’ll. I need a fix!
She is just way too precious! And I just love her red hair!
Oh I miss my babies being babies! She is so adorable, enjoy her while you can!
Aww, she is super sweet and such a cutie! We used to go and celebrate the kidlets first milestones when they were babes…such big developments and growth at that age!
She is just the absolute cutest! I could look at pictures of her all day, I think. :O) Happy 3 months!
Time does go fast when the kids are little! She is beautiful- enjoy all of those precious moments!

Hey B! Your gorgeous! I love the new baby feel
Happy 3 months to her! It’s nice that your capturing and enjoying the moments. Kids grow so quickly.
How adorable! And when she is older, you can share this with her! Gotta love the internet!
what a great smile you got from her. i used to do monthly pics, now I’m lucky if I get yearly pics done LOL
I enjoyed reading this post because it reminded me of when my children were that young and sweet smelling.
She is just so precious! That red hair is going to give you trouble when she’s older!
What a cute baby! Your making me miss those days of brand new life.
Soooo cute! Happy 3 months!!
She is such a cutie. That smile just melts my heart!!
what a sweet girl! I love how she’s afraid to miss anything. Sounds like my youngest.
My son is just a little younger than B (16 days) and is a lot like B in that he loves to smile and look at dangly toys. I wonder if he has a high palate as well, because he likes a paci but cannot keep it in his mouth!
She is so cute!
Oh, what an absolute sweetheart! She is precious!
She is so precious, enjoy each and every second because as you know, they grow up so quickly. Beautiful baby girl
She is beautiful! Love the faces she makes 🙂 Thank you for sharing this.
She is Beautiful! Love her hair!
Oh she is so precious! I love her red hair! Such a sweetie… 🙂
