3 Months- February 13, 2014
Dear Henry,
I’m a little late with this month’s letter. You were 3 months old on February 6. No longer a newborn, you are officially an infant. Your third month was an eventful one for our family! I went back to work and you started staying with a sitter who was your sister’s old teacher. You had a great time with Miss Danielle. The toddlers she also keeps greeted you with smiles and a big “Henny!” every time they saw you.
But, I missed you Henry. I missed you and Charlotte. I decided to come home and spend more time with you. It’s the only time I will have with you as a baby. Every day that we snuggle on the couch and you smile at me as we doze off is amazing. You are soft and warm. We giggle at your cute baby chub. You are a whopping 13 lbs. 10 oz. Daddy and I love kissing your cheeks and making you smile.
Charlotte loves being with you and making you laugh too. She loves you so much, she’s even willing to share her germs. Yep. You got sick for the first time at 2.5 months old. It started with a cough and runny nose before a fever and ear infection. One day we even went to the doctor twice. You took it all in stride. You smiled the whole way through it. You laughed at us as you spit out the pink medicine we desperately tried to get you to swallow. Rascal.
Your cousin was born. You and he are 2.5 months, or 11 weeks and one day apart. Our family is so excited to see you grow together.
Your most fabulous feat? At 12 weeks you found your circadian rhythm! Oh, son! It was so wonderful to have you sleep for 6 hours. Your sickness set you back a bit, and you’ve been waking up again. I’m hoping the irresistible beat of the circadian rhythm will lure you back to sleep for longer stretches soon.
You’re such a sweet baby We can’t believe you’re 3 months old, yet it feels like you’ve been part of our family for so much longer than 90 days.
I love you, my sweet, sweet boy.
Love,
Mama

Awww Amy, you make my heart smile! It was such a joy and pleasure caring for him. He is so sweet, happy, and always smiling. I just want you to know that I am so thankful for your loyalty in allowing me to continue be a part of your family.
I am so glad you are able to stay home and enjoy your babies. I felt so bad you were having such a hard time. I truly understood your pain. As a fellow “stay at home Mom” I couldn’t imagine it any other way. This month is the first month since Blake was 8 weeks old that it is just him and I. I have to say, although teaching, caring for and loving other children is my purpose and passion, I have been enjoying my one on one time with him and so has he! I know you have too! I pray everything works out in your favor and that you enjoy this experience.
Give them a big kiss for me!
Thanks Danielle. You’re the best. ::hugs::
Oh Amy, reading this made me tear up. It brings me back to when Lilly was a newborn. I can’t wait to have my son here in a few weeks and to go through it all over again:)
Henry is just absolutely adorable. He is a lucky little man to have you as his mama!
Thanks! It’s so funny the second time. You just know to appreciate it a little more.
