Three months sixteen days

If I was a good blogging mum I'd have posted this on the 11th when she turned three months and officially stepped out of infanthood, but because life keeps getting in the way of internet time, I am a little late.

The days just seem to go faster than ever before, and the lack of internet time might have something to do with a certain little princess who spends all day by my side but who won't sleep for very long at a time when we are at home (thankfully this only applies to daytime sleep...!), so the few windows I have during the day I have to get the main chores done. I have also become good at going to bed when I feel tired, rather than pushing through for the sake of a few extra minutes of me-time. As precious and rare as me-time is, after more than two years of early mornings and unpredictable nights, I know better than to stay up late and sacrifice the sleep I need to keep me somewhat productive throughout the next day. But I do look forward to staying up later as I have always been a bit of a night owl. I find my mind is most focused without the tempo and distractions of the daytime.

But late or not late, the fact is our little girl is now three months old and I wanted to share a little bit about her.

As much as it feels like only yesterday I met my little girl for the first time, three months is a long time in her life. So much happens, she grows so fast and suddenly the little munchkin went from sleeping the day away to now taking an active part of family life, interacting with everyone, trying to grab toys, likes listening to music, outgrows her first baby clothes, beams when she sees her big sister, gets the cutest kissable cheeks and a little double chin, smiles the biggest smiles and melts mummy's and daddy's hearts over and over. And over.

Before I had her, I did not know how I could possibly love someone as much as I love my big girl. I just hoped it would happen so my little girl would share that love with her sister. But she didn't have to share. My heart grew bigger and I learnt the amount of love you can feel for your children is endless. What a beautiful thing. I look into her face and ask her how I got so lucky to be her mummy. She really is such an amazing baby.
