Kaymin: 3 months

My little baby isn't looking like my squishy newborn anymore and it is so bittersweet to see her grow and change everyday!  Everyday Joe and I look at her and comment on how different she looks; this girl is always changing and growing way too fast! 

At three months: 

You smile and coo at everything. It pretty much melts my heart. You "talk" and babble all day long and I love it!


You are definitely a morning person. You are so happy and smiley when I come and get you in the mornings. You get that from your dad. 

You laughed for the first time and my heart just about exploded. You were watching Nollie play with her baby and you must have thought it was hilarious. It was one big belly laugh after another! 

You've still got a little bit of a bobble head, but you're able to hold your head up like a champ! All that torturous tummy time is paying off! ;) 

You usually sleep 8:30-3:30/4:30 and then you'll wake around 7:30 to eat again and sleep in until 10-10:30. Mom loves your morning nap! 

You refuse to nap during the day which is hard. 


You get so much attention whenever we go out. Everyone always stops to stare and coo at you. You eat it up. 

You are constantly chewing on your fists. Anything you can get your hands on goes straight to your mouth. Including moms hair...

My favorite moments are after your nighttime feed when you nuzzle your head into my shoulder. I will look down at you and you look exactly like you did on the day you were born. I usually hold you until I can't keep my eyes open because I never want that moment to end. You're definitely my favorite reason to lose sleep.

You're obsessed with the Kardashian's. That concerns me haha

Bath time is hit or miss. Somedays you love it, most days you scream the whole time. 

Once 6pm rolls around you are a little monster child. Colic? The witching hour? Who knows... But like clockwork you freak out.

You're ticklish on your neck and will squeal if we tickle it.

You're great at running errands with me only if I have you uncovered so you can see what's going on.

You love music and when mom sings to you.

You love dad and get the biggest grin when he comes home from work.

We moved you to the crib and you love it! My heart broke a little the first night we put you there.

You're obsessed with food! You love watching me eat. Your doctor said we can start you on solids next month, we will see. 

You are starting to enjoy your playmat. The other day you kicked so hard you knocked down the little foam rails! 


Oh Kaymin, we love you so incredibly much! I often wonder how I went through life without you and what I did with all my time. I think I napped a lot haha. I honestly can't picture life without you. Even on our hardest days I feel so lucky to be your mom; I have the best job in the entire world!

Kaymin: 2 Months

I mean, where has the time gone? I'm sure I'll say that for every post I make, but I can't believe this little munchkin has been around for 8 whole weeks! Ahhh we just love her so much!


You're consistently sleeping 6 hours at 
night! What a world of difference that has made for mom and dad! Hopefully, you keep it up…please keep it up.


You smile and coo all the time now and it's the most adorable thing ever. Sometimes when I'm frustrated at midnight and can't get you to sleep you'll flash a gummy grin and all my frustrations melt away. Little stinker ;)


You still hate tummy time, but have since discovered that you love napping on your tummy. We will do our usual afternoon tummy time session and you scream and cry for about 3 minutes and then fall asleep, sneaky girl.

Your farts are huge and resemble that of a truck driver. I'm usually woken up in the middle of the night, not by crying, but by your loud toots haha.

Nollie is fiercely protective of you. If grandma's dogs get too close to you she chases them away and will stand guard next to you until they leave the room.



If I'm in the kitchen cleaning bottles and can't hear you crying, Nollie will run downstairs and scratch at my legs letting me know you're awake.

You love your baths.


We've been going for walks outside lately and you love it! You love being outside and looking at all the trees.


You still give dad fits in the middle of the night, but not as bad as you used to. You think any time with dad is party time, I can't blame you.

You've almost outgrown your newborn clothes! Your newborn leggings are all shorts and your onesies have turned into muscle shirts haha

I've discovered that loud music and dancing soothes you. Perhaps it was me working at Hollister my entire pregnancy that has lead to this? Whatever works!

You love sleeping in your bassinet now, hopefully this will make our transition to the crib an easy one.


You like to be swaddled, but only with your hands out.

You sleep with your hands either up over your head, or your right hand by your cheek. It's so cute


You've got the cutest pouty face ever. I can already tell that you're going to be a lot of drama!

If someone else is holding you and you hear me talking, you immediately start looking for me. I love that you know I'm your mama.

I bought one of those mirrors that goes oh the back of the headrest in my car so I can see you when we're out and about. You absolutely hate it. You scream and cry whenever you're uncovered in the car.  Maybe you'll like it in a couple weeks? 

We were out shopping and a lady thought you had to be at least 6 months old... You're definitely a big baby! We're so curious to find out how much you weigh at next weeks appointment. 

You like taking a really long nap in the mornings which has been sooo nice! I can get ready and get so much done around the house! 

I can't believe you've been with us for two whole months! Everyday gets better and better. I love being your mom and seeing you grow and change everyday. I miss my little newborn, but I am loving all these fun changes that are happening!
