Happy 3 months old to our sweetest Remi girl! You are so much more alert these days. You have started reaching for things with purpose and when you get your fingers around something it goes straight for your mouth! Your smiles continue and you have added on some laughs. You only wear 3-6 month clothes now. Tummy time is a breeze for you and you continue to roll over on occasion. You also went on your first camping trip! How many 2-month-olds can say that!?!? We are very proud you survived it (literally, because I was slightly worried you might freeze to death.....). I have a feeling there will be a lot more camping in your future because you just happened to be a natural.
Our biggest struggle has been the bottle battles. Man, you hate it. Just the sight of a bottle can lead to full out screaming rages where you tense up every muscle in your body. We have started very slow by just trying to have you make some positive associates with the bottle by playing with it. A few times you will tolerate letting us put the nipple in your mouth but you absolutely refuse to suck on it. Chew on it? Yes. But no sucking allowed. Which is completely ridiculous because you suck on EVERYTHING else, including your own forearm. You gave yourself a hickey on your arm the other day! What the heck, child?!? The thing that you don't know yet is that you have two very stubborn parents. We do plan to win this battle because I cannot be around to nurse you 24/7...in fact, next month I have an all day conference that I absolutely cannot bring you to. I hope things are going more smoothly with our bottle friend by then.
Other than the bottle, you remain the best spirited little lady. You are just the sweetest. And thank you for sleeping through the night every night. Also, thank you for liking to sleep in until almost 9am. Now, if we can just get your big sister to understand how great sleeping in is.....
