Dear Hazel,
Today you are 3 months old. You are no longer in the "4th trimester" and are now an infant instead of a newborn. You're growing so well that we've had to pack away a bunch of your clothes already and even though it's sad that you won't fit into those tiny onesies anymore you just get cuter each day.
Your favorite activity is staring at your left hand. Usually it's in a fist, but once in a while you examine how your thumb and index finger open and close.
This month has been one of lots of development for you. You consistently sleep for two 5-hour shifts during the night. What's not consistent is what time you go to sleep, but we'll figure that out someday.
A couple of weeks ago, you learned how to suck your thumb and even though you don't always find that thumb again, I know you'll get it down eventually. You also learned how to roll from your back to your tummy! Everytime I put you to sleep on your back now, you eventually roll onto your tummy and sleep that way. Your parents and grandparents never tire of seeing you roll back and forth to get your momentum going and then heave yourself over to that tummy. You can even lift your head all the way up to see your surroundings.
I'm so proud to be your mama and can't wait to see all the things you learn this coming month.
