"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Sadie Three Months

I am really struggling with each milestone with this girl.  I mean, I want her to grow and develop as she is supposed to, but it's just so crazy how fast it goes!  I should be used to this by now, but apparently you don't get used to this!  She is such a fun baby though, and such a lovely addition to our family.  I can't get over how much she loves her siblings and how much they love her... still even!  Three months later!  She is a little princess.  I know I've said this before, but she is super sensitive!  Things that hurt hurt really bad.  Things that are sad, are really sad!  She does not let an uncomfortable feeling go announced :).  It's actually kind of cute.  But I have never seen this before.  So I'm trying to know how best to care for her.  She is still not making ton of eye contact up close.  I have joked that maybe she's just far-sighted, but maybe it's not a joke?  She is so loved though!  She still spends almost no time NOT in someone's arms.  She gets passed around nonstop.  Still got a bald spot though.  She is mostly happy.  She spends most of her time sleeping or eating, but when we get a moment with her awake, she is smiling!  She is pretty easy to get to smile now and when she smiles it makes her so happy she can't contain the happiness!  I love her little hands and how she holds them in front of her.  She has started trying to suck on them too, which we're anxious to see where that goes.  She LOVES her baths!  She just lays there and soaks it all up.  She likes to look at herself and me in the mirror.  She really loves it.  Probably could stay in there forever.  She is a good sleeper- even at night- she's only getting up once in the night right now, and usually not til the very end.  She is pretty good to go just about anywhere with us- sports games, concerts, plays, church, school stuff, even pinewood derbies :).  She does really well.  I've been pleasantly surprised with all that we've been able to do with her!  Which is such a blessing.  She often sleeps through whole events, such as Music Makers and Playgroup every week.  She's been a lot of fun to get to know.  I really can't get enough of her patience with Molly.  Molly just adores her and is actually pretty calm and soft with her, but sweet little Sadie just eats it up!  Never gets upset with her at all. I've never seen that either.  She has a very calm spirit, very gentle, she makes you want to be very gentle back.  She's a sweet heart.  Super sensitive, but very calm.  She loves to look around.  She is very busy mentally it seems.  Just taking it all in!  I love how alert she is when she's awake.  She likes a clean bumb and plenty of Mommy juice!  It's going to be fun to see what this little girl does with her life.  And the role her sibs play.  They sure love her.  I hope she can always feel that from them.
