Three months. How did that happen? In one of the books we read, it said to think about the first three months of life as the fourth, and final trimester of fetal development. Well, now it's done, and Abigail welcomes the world again with new engagement.Our lady is now sleeping basically through the night--the big change is she is slumbering unswaddled. That's a big deal. One night she was squirming too much in her swaddle and we decided to give it shot; the shot being sleeping, simply, in her footsie pjs and that's it. She seemed to love the idea. She wiggled her legs up and down, she flapped her arms, she cooed to herself and then...she fell asleep! All on her own. The first night she woke up once in the night but then the second night, she slept for a nice long stretch, woke up after that long stretch to eat and then...a nice long nap on her papa and THEN she even slept more in her crib. That's our girl!
So, she's a good sleeper at night and early mornings. However, sleeping in the carseat, in a car (as opposed to when she's in the carseat strolling in her City Mini), is another story. She wails in cars, except when she doesn't, which has happened too. Just when we think we know her likes and dislikes, she changes them. Just when we think we have a pattern in anything she does, she switches it on us. This constant fluctuation reminds us we just need to live moment to moment with her and enjoy her for who she is right at that very second. And we certainly are revelling in her.
She met lots of her cousins, aunts and uncles in Long Island; along with visiting her Grandma Roxy in NJ this past weekend. Though we have no photographic proof of any of this encounters, we do have other pictures. Enjoy!
