Talitha Joy {3 months}

October 12, 2015

*Since Talitha is FOUR months old today, I thought I’d finally get her three month post up. Hashtags that apply: #secondchildproblems #movingproblems #missingmemorycard. I actually wrote this post and took Talitha’s pictures right on schedule, but then in the midst of moving I never had time to upload her 3 month pictures to my computer. None of the facts below are relevant anymore, but I want the stats for her baby book {that I’ll probably finish when she’s five…}


baby turns three months old

Growing // I weighed T-Bean on our home scale a week or so ago and she came in at 15 pounds, 2 ounces. She is so tall though that she is popping out of her pajamas, so we’ll have to move to 6-9 month clothing soon.

Doing // Always wanting to gnaw on her own hand or someone else’s. Has now rolled over twice. Is starting to giggle, especially when I lift her up over my head and make her fly. Smiling at everyone. Trying to sit up. Breaking out of her swaddle nightly.
Loving // Being held, “chasing” sissy around the room, hanging out on the play mat.
Loathing // Going to bed after 8:30 pm.

 

Mishaps // So far Talitha has escaped {mostly} unscathed from Zianne’s aggressive sharing {aka throwing} of toys, but we are forever reminding Z to be “gentle” with the baby, so she doesn’t get any sibling-inflicted wounds.

Milestones // This was the month of achieving full nighttime sleep! Talitha is consistently sleeping from about 8/8:30pm to 7:30/8am. It’s amazing how different you feel {and look… I have pictures to prove it} once your baby is sleeping through the night. To those mamas with non-sleepers, I am sincerely so sorry and pray for you often!

    Yay for her sleeping through the night! I do know what a huge difference it can make! I love how her sister "shares" her toys – sounds all too familiar! Love that you keep sharing these updates- even if her stats won't be written in her baby book for a while [again, sounds all too familiar :].

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
