Claire is 3 months old!

wow.

three months.

at this time 3 months ago I was just getting the epidural process started and would meet my baby girl a few hours later. now I sit here while Claire is enjoying her toys, my  husband is napping and I am reading over my long list of how to be ready for my first day back at work tomorrow and I am proud. I am proud at everything we accomplished, I am proud of all the days we did nothing but sit, breastfeed and enjoy each other, I am proud of how our newborn has grown into her own little baby self. I might be biased but I never saw her as a blob as I sometimes see other babies, she always had personality but now she is starting to really come into her own. she loves to laugh and play and respond to us. she is fascinating.

I am so excited for all of her milestones that might happen in her 3rd month and I am sad that I might miss a few while I am back at work. But my hope for her is that she will continue to grow, to be healthy and that she won't forget me while I am away haha.

I love you Claire Olive ZumMallen

Happy 3rd month birthday!!
