Today our girl is three months old...actually Dan and I disagree on this point. He says she was three months old at 12 weeks. I say she is three months old today. She was born on the 31st of October and today is the 31st of January so there you go! At any rate we both agree that for these past 90 some days our lives have been full of FeLiCiTy...
Three months...or 13 weeks and one day:
Her ears are still fuzzy and her eyes are officially brown. She smiles for real and has laughed a few times, but I am not so sure it was quite on purpose. Instead of chirps we now hear little pieces of her voice calling us from the crib. Most people say she looks just like her daddy, and her crump face still makes appearance but isn't quite as constant. She will finally tolerate two minutes or so of tummy time and can hold herself up for about five in the BuMbO.
The word of the month is most definitely HaNdS. She's grabbing her stuffed animal friends and any object hanging above her. Felicity just stares in wonder at her dainty little hands even to the point of crossing her eyes. Hilarious. But seriously I hope she never loses this sense of wonder...I hope she always finds something that causes her to marvel at the work of her Maker. It is so beautiful to see, and it makes me smile.
This month she successfully made it through Dan's graduation service and reception without a meltdown and even let us go out for a late night celebration dinner with Dan's parents. She also did a fabulous job with her first babysitters, Auntie Rina and Uncle David. We are so grateful and are looking forward to fulfilling our resolution of one date a month without our little cutie... even though we ended up talking about her most of the time :)
And finally for her newest nicknames...we affectionately call her ThE GiRl, LiTtLe CuTiE and our little PiXie. How she will ever know her real name is beyond me, but she certainly continues to uphold its meaning filling our hearts with great joy each and every day.
So precious. I felt the tears start while reading your hope for her to never lose her sense of wonder---for her to continue to marvel at the work of her Maker. So happy for you and Dan. She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFelicity is so wonderful! You guys are wonderful parents fully enjoying every moment to the fullest. Babies just make us parents melt at just the simplist things. They make our heart skip beats, they put smiles on our faces when we think of our children, see them smile, laugh, coo, and even cry... To think someone so beautifully created was created in God's image. You have fallen for your little girl. She will tug at your hearts forever... Cherish these memories.. The small changes.. Enjoy a date night too.. She will reap the benefits that you cared enough for her to build a strong marriage so that the two of you can care for her. Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteShe is so darling! I just love her. I love to see and hear all about her and how she is changing and growing. I brings back wonderful memories of when Josh and Jonathon were little.
ReplyDeleteI love that Felicity is growing in your love and experiencing the Love of Christ first hand because of her mom and dad and all the rest of us who ohhh and ahhh over her darling little pixie self! Praying for you!
