3 months

Mia,

I'd wonder how 3 months could have gone by already, but your place in our family is so entirely natural that it seems as if you've always been here and 3 months worth of time isn't nearly enough to explain how we're all so very attached to you. At 3 months you:

giggle & chuckle heartily, especially for "pat a cake" and tickling
smile at almost anyone who smiles at you
spend most of your time just hanging out, cheerfully taking in the chaos around you
cry so seldom that when you do, I feel inept at figuring out what you need
still sleep through the night (mama thanks you for the 7 hours you averaged at ONE day old, and the 8-10 you've averaged since about 1 month)
will let anyone hold you, but will let them know when you're in need of the tummy hold
get schlept around town, but don't put up too much of a fuss
feel so happy when we smile at you that you turn your head cuz you just can't stand it
