Petting the kitty

Let us pray

Or, “a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest” (Proverbs 6:10).

Sigh

Amy seems to be back to her usual self since she had a nice poop yesterday afternoon.

Ahhhhh.

Wouldn’t it be nice if she continues to be like this, instead of the exhaustingly loud and sudden fussiness of the first half of the week?

Wouldn’t it be nice if a nice poop could make such a difference in everyone’s lives?

Slump

Guess what…

…Amy is doing lately?

• Starting to laugh — two or three chuckles yesterday
• Holding onto a toy and getting it into tasting position — and today she passed a spoon from one hand to the other
• Starting to develop sitting up and rolling over muscles and movements
• Growing — she weighed 13 lbs 9 oz yesterday, and the 0-3 month clothes have been put away, and the newborn head guard has been removed from her car seat
• Recognizing her bottle and pacifier — her cry changes when she sees them and she reaches
• Considering enjoying her bath — she isn’t having fun yet, but last time she didn’t cry
• Vocalizing — she makes a variety of sounds and cries — differing in vowel and volume and tone — not much in the way of consonants yet
• Blowing bubbles and trying to suck on the front of her shirt or the edge of the sling or whatever else is in sight
• Waking up too often during the night the last two days; the public health nurse who visited yesterday said she could be starting to work on a tooth already, or she may be responding to weather changes
• Napping during the day a little less often but for a little longer time

Three months old!

Amy is three months old today!

And ain’t she dainty?

This month’s close-ups:

Our Amy has THE sweetest face:
