You were born on the 31st. Not all months have that day, so we are calling today, March 2nd, close enough ;). You have grown so much in this past month, my sweet girl!
The most exciting news is that you have figured out sleep (at least, once you fall asleep... But that's a detail for later.). Once you fall asleep at night, you sleep a minimum of 5 1/2 hours, but usually it's 7 1/2. And you've even done 8 1/2!!! Mommy is a really big fan of this.
But, as I mentioned in that paragraph, we sometimes have a bear of a time getting you to go to sleep. Which has been the case tonight :/... You fight sleep like you wouldn't believe. Much like your big sister, I have to take you in to a dark, quiet room to drink your last bottle for you to go to sleep. And sometimes it's still a struggle. This means you never go to bed before your older siblings, because one thing you will probably never know is a quiet house (except after they are in bed).
You are awake a lot more these days. You love looking around and noticing your world. I've gotten several comments on how alert you are. Also comments about how well you hold up your head and how much you look like both Lynnaea and Corbin. Most people say you look like Corbin, but there are some people who say Lynnaea. Either way, you are clearly their sibling and they can't deny you!
Not that they would want to. They love you. Lynnaea loves to hold you and will squeal happily (and loudly) when she sees you every day. Corbin loves you in his own way, which often includes getting right in your face and then getting in trouble for not being gentle enough. But he also likes to hold you for about 30 seconds ;).
You love your baths and are always very calm during them. You just stare at me while I bathe you. Your sweet little squishy face is so adorable
And let me say this: you may be our 3rd baby, but you've given us plenty of firsts. Including what can only be called "squirt gun poop." Yeah, it's as fun as it sounds. You are frequently surprising us mid-diaper change with extra poops. And sometimes it squirts far enough to hit the edge of the diaper changing table :/. Yuck. We've had some massive clean-up days!
You are starting to be more content to be put in your swing or on your play mat for a bit during the day. But overall you still want to be held.
You are precious and cute and I think you will be curious. As #3 kiddo, you certainly don't get the immediate attention that Lynnaea got all the time. But you do demand plenty of that attention and you certainly get it! You are the smallest and it seems the smallest member of the family rules the roost! We love you, sweet Katherine. Every day we are grateful you are ours.
Love Always,
Mommy
