Three months!
This time is passing quickly. At 14lbs 13oz, my new baby isn't as new as she once was since her 9 pound entrance. She's wearing 6-9 Month clothing, takes 5oz at every feeding, and is growing like a weed at 25 inches long.
She started Daycare this month, and she loves it. We are so blessed to have gotten into a facility that truly loves their babies. Each encounter I have with the employees is a joy.
Sawyer has been out of daycare the last week and a half with a pretty hearty chest cold. They have called multiple times to check on her - how sweet! They've said that they miss her and can't wait to see her in next week.
I'll admit this week at home with her has been nice. The 10 weeks I got with her before going back to work after she was born were hard. But I didn't realize how much I'd miss them until they were over. I get it now. Just to be with her every hour, to catch all the smiles and coos - I've missed this. But next week we'll get back to normal and the daycare routine can continue. Maybe then Mommy will actually get to sleep in her own bed! SJ and I have been sharing the couch or recliner all week - laying down has been tough with that cough.
We've spent a lot of time with Mimi, GMan, Miss Kerry, and Papa. Her first Easter was full of family fun - she and Ava had matching Jean Jackets and Dresses! Pictures below aren't the most smiley but I swear she's a happy kid! Sawyer also got to finally meet the rest of her Sanchez family. Aunt Kammer she met on day 5 of being alive but we wait to introduce her to E & E until after she had her first round of shots. They both loved her. It was surreal to see my Eva holding my Sawyer. Eva was kinda my first "baby" and I can't even believe that now she's holding SAWYER. TIME FLIES.
Sawyer discovered TV this month. She sits in a lounger (see below) and just watches. I tried Baby Einstein but she prefers The Flash! haha! She watched the Wiggles at Mimi's and danced along with it! Pretty stoked my kid is a TV watcher - will make traveling and other things easier one day. She'll be athletic so I'm not worried about her being a couch potato - but in the meantime it's nice to not have to be in her face entertaining her all the time. (Though I know the day will come where I'll miss that too.)
She loves sitting in her bouncy seat in the kitchen while we cook dinner. Or laying on the floor under the mobile watching the dogs walk back and forth.
Her sister is still infatuated with her and is sure to help whenever she can.
Sawyer discovered her fist and chews on it regularly. She also pulls her blanket or burp rag up to her mouth to chew on as well.
I know this next month will bring even more growth and discovery.
We're just soaking her in day by day.
Sawyer,
I hope you always feel how much you're adored. You never go long without kisses or squeezes. Everyone who meets you melts. You're more than a joy.
We love you so big!!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Ava & Errrrrybody else!
