They say after 3rd month baby's routine becomes more predictable. They are less cranky and it becomes easier to differentiate their cry for hunger or sleep or dirty diaper. I should add that parents become more patient, energetic and smart.Finally no more baby blues!
Dear Kyra,
What a splendid journey through first quarter :) You look so big and grown up now and of course, you are getting rounder day by day. You have been very active and smart from day one. But now you can make steady eye contact. You can turn your head in direction of our voice even though you can not see us.
When you are on your tummy you can flip back although just on one side.
You can maintain perfect balance in upright position. You love standing and walking on daddy's tummy.
You love seeing our faces. When I feed you or carry you over the shoulder, you tilt and position your head so we can face each other. You start scratching whatever comes in your hand. You literally hurt daddy by scratching his neck, arm and shoulder when he carries you.
You scream and giggle at top of your voice but never get tired! So we tease you that by the time you will start talking we will be deaf. But at the same time, you become very quiet when you hear any third person's voice. When we meet families online or over the phone, all their efforts to hear you are in vein.
At times you sound very stubborn. The other day we tried to feed you using a glass (You were giving very hard time taking milk through bottle). You got upset and did not talk/smile/eat/sleep for about an hour. During doctor's appointment, she put you on your tummy and you screamed at her like anything!
The most important achievement of this month is that I can recognize your sleepy mood. And then if I gently pat you or caress your hair, you fall asleep. I can actually put you to sleep. What a relief! So far it never happened. Even when you were feeling sleepy you would cry but never considered our efforts to help you :)
You sleep less and less during day time and wake up more often during night time. We are going in reverse direction :(. You do not like the taste of breast milk anymore and we are having very hard time feeding you.
During Navratri, we were doing Pooja everyday. You liked that except we had to sing looking right at you instead of at God :)
Our book reading/story telling sessions have become more frequent and you simply love them. If I talk to somebody else in middle of the session, you literally start crying. You even tried to hold the book and turn the pages.
We took you to Vraj Mandir for the first time. Except eating part, you enjoyed the trip.
Bye for now.
