Dear Adelaide: Month Three
Dear Crazy Monkey Addy,
You have been amazing this month. You notice new things every day and your disposition still continues to be charming ... that is unless you are in a car for 15 hours straight or if I had onions on a chili dog the previous day and you completely refused to eat and we had to pass you around for five hours while you screamed until I got the bright idea to pump my breasts and start over. So basically, as long as I don't torture you, you are a darling baby.
You noticed your hands this month and sucked on your thumb two days in a row. This was encouraging as you won't take a pacifier and sometimes I'd like you comfort you without disrobing. You also noticed your feet when I sat you in a chair to take your photo.
Your hands go into your mouth frequently and somehow make their way into mine while I am holding you. You gaze at patterns and have started to enjoy your toys. You love your rocking chair and the toy pig and cow that suspend from it. A toy lamb also suspends from the chair but you HATE the lamb. You yell at the lamb and then return to wooing the other two plastic animals. You are very strange. I am able to sneak in some tummy time by using your floor mat but for the most part, you disdain being left on your stomach.
My favorite things about you at this age are your coos and your smiles which you dole out without discretion. You still scream when you are hungry and leaving you with your father for long periods is not possible. We are working on getting you to take a bottle but it's an uphill battle.
Although you have been sleeping more frequently in your co-sleeper, I still pull you into bed with us in the early morning. There is nothing better than waking up to your smiles and wiggling body next to mine.
In the first three months of your life you have stayed in Louisiana, South Carolina, Arizona (twice) and traveled through many states. You have spent more time outside of the city you were born in than in it. We are unsure about your status as a United States citizen as the hospital that you were born in has flooded as well as City Hall. As a result, your birth certificate and Social Security card are M.I.A. This could also be attributed to our wonky mail system.
With all of the craziness over the past three months you remain a constant joy.
Love,
Mommy
