My dear little peach,
Today, you are 3 months old.
You have brought us such joy in our lives ever since your arrival (announced with your signature loud wail ;) I never knew I could love a semi-bald little person as much as I love you! From playing with you to checking and changing your diapers (yes, even that!) - these are all happy moments that I would not trade anything for.
You have grown to be such a cheerful, happy baby. I have to admit, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief when you started smiling more post 6-month mark. Now, every morning you wake up in a super good mood and shower us with your generous smiles. You have started to babble and we have our pretend conversations which seem to delight you to no end, often sending you into peals and squeals of laughter. You seem to have a knack for smiling and responding at the right moments, which amuses mummy to no end. Remember the day when I asked you "What is your name? Is your name Christine?" and you replied with "Hai, ah!"? I have tried to capture as many of these precious moments as possible on camera, but you seem to be on your guard, wary even, of the camera. No worries, mummy is undeterred ;)
My little drool monster - you have always loved to play with your saliva. Lately, your new preoccupation is stuffing your hand (mittens and all, if they happen to be in your way) into your mouth. My delicious little sleeping companion - you have become quite the noisy sleeper. The past week have I awoken to your thrashing and kicking around. One day, you even managed to turn 90 degrees counterclockwise over the course of the night!
My dear Christine, I am so grateful for each day that I am able to spend with you (yes, even when, like yesterday, you decided to throw an all-night (non-)slumber party keeping mummy up till 5am!). You are still our precious little thing - even though way ahead of the curve for your age-group in weight and length, you are still so tiny that mummy can carry you with one arm. And I will savor that, just as I savor the feeling of contentedness as you feed and sometimes fall asleep in my arms, because I know you will not be small forever.
My dear little munchkin, mummy and daddy love you more than you will ever know. Happy 3-month old!
Showering you with kisses,
Mummy and daddy
