Quinn is 3 Months Old!

I can't believe it but Quinn is already 3 months old. We are having SO much fun with her and we thank God every single day for the gift that is our Quinny Quinn. I honestly have never met a more calm, content, and joyful baby. Intellectually I know she's not perfect, but right now she just seems like the most perfect little person in the whole world!

At 3 months old Quinn is:

Looking more and more like her Daddy. She has his hairline and when he is holding her I can really see the resemblance. Her eyes seem to be changing from the deep blue she was born with to more of a greenish blue, which also makes her look more like Chris. They are so cute together!

Seriously the happiest baby. She wakes up smiling every morning, even when she's hungry. She goes to bed smiling and smiles in her sleep. She smiles all the time and has begun to add little squeaky laughs to her smiles which are just delightful. Lily loves to talk about the "cute baby sounds" that Quinny makes.

Such a sweet-tempered baby that when she does cry to be picked up, she stops crying as soon as she sees us walking towards her. It's like she doesn't want to cry a second longer than she needs to. What a darling.

Is doing great at breast feeding! I am officially done pumping and she has been breastfeeding like a champ for the entire last month. I've only pumped twice with a hand pump (we returned our hospital grade rental pump) and that was only because it was super hot and I thought she was getting a little dehydrated so I wanted to give her just a little extra milk by bottle. We are so so so thankful for this development in our lives! Quinn seems to be a bit of a snacker, eating for 5-10 minutes at a time every 2-3 hours during the day and sleeping for one 5-6 hour stretch at night. It seems as though my milk comes out pretty quickly so that is a little bit of an issue because she ends up swallowing quite a bit of air while she is eating and then barfing a good bit of milk back up. However, she doesn't seem overly bothered by it and is gaining weight and growing well, so it isn't too much of a concern right now.

Has the cutest little dimple on her left cheek which is only visible when she's smiling really big. Adorable.

Still pooping about once every 7-8 days. I'm telling you, she's perfect.

Seemingly completely healed from the plugged duct in her eye. Yet another thing to be thankful for!

Starting to roll. She has rolled from her back to her belly once but she was on a bed with a slight incline so I don't think that totally counts. However, she frequently rolls from her back to her side so I think she'll be rolling for reals any day now. We honestly don't give her much time to practice because we are either holding her or she is in her swing most of the time.

A girl who loves to stand up. I am just betting she is going to be an early stander/walker because she loves when we stand her up. She gets such a surprised look on her face and then she gets a wide, toothless smile on her face.

I know time moved quickly when Lily was a baby, but time is just absolutely speeding by with Quinn. I am taking lots of pictures and videos, of course, to try and capture this precious time. But I find myself really trying to make memories of how it feels to be with her right now - the way it feels when I brush my cheek against her silky hair, the way her warm little body feels when she's sleeping on my chest, the way it feels when her tiny hand wraps itself around my finger, the way her entire foot can fit in the palm of my hand, the way her tiny belly is so amazingly soft and kissable. Those are the fleeting feelings that can't be captured on any piece of technology instead must be impressed upon my heart.

Quinn - my love for you knows no bounds. You are the exact right fit for our family and we never even knew that we were missing anything until you came along and filled the hole we didn't know existed. If I could freeze you right at this age, I would. Thankfully, I am not in charge of these things. I hope and pray daily that you will continue growing into the person you are meant to be and that you will find God's plan for your life. You truly are something special, my darling. Thanks for letting me be your Mommy and I am so thankful I get to share this journey with you. I love you, baby girl.
