We did it! Ellie is finally three months old! Since everyone says the first three months are the hardest, I assume we have this parenting thing down pat. From now on it'll be sunshine, roses, and full nights sleep, right? At least until she learns how to drive?
Seriously though, the three-month-milestone feels like a big deal. Ellie's smiling and cute and interacting with us in a way that was unheard of even a month ago. She's reliably sleeping 6-8 hours in a row, and she feels like a BABY, not a newborn. The difference is hard to pinpoint, but she's so much more fun.
Ellie's fourth month is my bonus month, the extra month my office was generous enough to let me take before I go back March 1st. We have three more weeks to hang out in Brooklyn, a week in Vermont, and then one final week before daycare and work begins. According to this article in the New York Times, we're going to spend it all in our neighborhood bars.
For all you stat-conscious people, here are her three month numbers:
Weight: 11 pounds, 3 ounces (up to the 21% percentile, from the 15%)
Height: 22.1 inches (up to the 7% percentile from -1%. Yay! She's on the chart!)
