Month 3



Kaitlyn,

You are getting so big! We love you. You still seem pretty calm and laid-back. You smile easily, especially at your dad. I'm secretly (or not so secretly) jealous. Your dad's certain that you're the easiest baby to smile.
Once while getting your diaper changed, Skylie came up to you and squealed right in your ear, "The baby!" The noise startled you--your arms and legs flailed, your eyes got big, and you gave me a look as if to say, "What the heck is going on around here?!" You tolerate all the craziness around here like a champ. Thank you.
Sleep is still your middle name. Once you slept without waking from 10:30 at night until 8:20 a.m.. Wow, that was wonderful. Most nights, though, you sleep 6-7 hours then eat and go right back to bed. You snooze quite a lot during the day, too. If only we could all have your life!

You've had an eventful month. This month you:
  • Took your first trip out of state, to Louisville, Kentucky when your dad and I attended the temple.
  • Visited apple orchards, parks, and a children's haunted house. Whenever we go out we receive lots of compliments on how cute you are--your pretty eyes, long eyelashes, and dark hair. Once at the grocery store, an elderly couple came by me three times to look at you. They oowed and awwed over how beautiful you looked with the cute headband and big flower in your hair. Sometimes people mention how much you look like me, but really, you're a cuter, girly version of your dad's baby pictures.
I love you more than ever, Baby Girl.

Love,
Mom

Oh my goodness Erin...it's only been a few weeks and I swear she suddenly looks much older. I think it is her big beautiful eyes and the fact that she's holding them open so wide!
