Letters to Finley: Three Months








Sometimes I think if I stare at you long enough I will actually see you grow.  You are getting bigger and stronger everyday. You have chunky little legs and a chubby little chin we call your "gully gully." You love to try to sit up and if your legs would carry you, I'm pretty sure you would be running all over the place.  You seem to think you are a much bigger baby than you are, you want to do big girl things.  We prop you up on the couch and it's funny to see such a little girl sitting up like a big kid.  You have discovered you have feet, but still don't know what they are for. You talk to them and grab them with your hands, and if you were coordinated enough, you would put them in your mouth.  You put everything in your mouth!  You have started to play with toys, you love to hold onto them, drool on them, and bite them. When  you are tired you rub your eyes. You love fuzzy blankets and want them up by your face when you sleep. You tried so hard to roll over and finally did it, but just once (with a little help from me). You haven't attempted to do it again, to your surprise, you ended up on your tummy, and you DO NOT like to be on your tummy. Smart girl. You are on the verge of laughing and every once in a while we get you to giggle, but we are still patiently waiting for the BIG belly one. You can be pretty ornery.  You know exactly what to do to get your way. For someone who is only three months old you can be pretty bossy, but what can we say we love you, so we let you think you are incharge. You are a wild one and we love your free spirit.  It's hard to believe that we only met you three months ago and now you consume our whole world.
