Three Months Old.

Mirei officially graduates from newborn-hood today as she turns three months old! While the past three months have had their challenging moments, Mirei has really brought so much joy into our lives and we already cannot imagine life without her — our family now feels complete. ♥

(I’ll be taking photos of Mirei sitting in my white desk chair and wearing her monthly onesie every month until she’s one year old.)

The Rundown at Three Months…

Stats: At your doctor’s visit yesterday, you weighed 15 lbs 7.5 oz, approximately double your birth weight! You are now 24.5 inches tall, so you’ve grown a bit in height as well. Even though you are only three months old, Dan and I have been saying that you’re already getting quite heavy too hold! Your head size is 16.75 inches in circumference — you’ve got a big noggin!

Things You’re Doing Now: Since a couple weeks ago, you’ve started becoming much more alert and stay awake for much longer periods of time during the daytime, and there are some days that you are awake for 6 hours straight even! You continue to sleep through the night most nights, usually going to bed around midnight and waking up anywhere from 6 to 8am. We can tell that you can see a lot more clearly now, as your gaze follows us and Mio everywhere we go when we move around the room, and you stare into our eyes when we face you. Your cries sometimes sound more like whines and complaints, and you sometimes “talk” to us with your coos and babbles. The late-night colicky crying has settled down a bit, although you are still more irritable in the evenings than in the daytime. You like to blow bubbles with your lips and often furiously suck on your fist and fingers. You are smiling more and more now, which never fails to warm our hearts.
