Guess who turned 3 months old yesterday?! This little bundle of love…
Oh, I love her so! She’s smiling and cooing and basically being the cutest baby on the planet every day. Here’s her brothers at 3 months…
She’s still definitely looking much more like Maxwell in my opinion!
Samantha is a fantastic daytime sleeper. I’m following the Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child book and only keep her up about an hour and a half. If I get her down within that window, she’ll just happily lay in her bed and go right to sleep! She takes a morning nap for about 2 to 21/2 hours, an afternoon nap for about 2 to 2/12 hours and then usually a little 3rd nap that is only around 30 to 45 minutes. A dream of a napper for sure!
Nighttime is still a different story that we’re working on. There is something about the first half of the night that she just doesn’t want to sleep in her crib. I’ve tried putting her to bed early. I’ve tried feeding her. I’ve tried rocking her for 2 hours. No matter what I do, as soon as she gets in that crib, she starts crying and won’t stop until I pick her up. As a result, the past few weeks she’s slept either on me in the rocking chair or the bed or in between Robert and me in the bed until she eats around 2:00am. After that feeding, I can put her in her crib with no problem and she’ll snooze away until around 7:00am. It’s a work in progress and I’ve actually enlisted some professional help…more on that later if it helps! But, I really don’t mind the sleeping issues because…well, look at this face…
I am 100% obsessed with this little girl. Even when she doesn’t want to do the monthly photoshoots…
and starts to get fussy…
I can easily calm her down with a little paci time….
and then…Boom. The best little smile ever!
With our friend, Honey Bunny!
She’s starting to stare at toys a little and kind of wonder how to play with them. Her head control is getting really good…but that big ole head still gets heavy sometimes!
She’s got the most kissable cheeks…
and the sweetest dimples…
and yes, oh yes, I’m pretty darn sure she’s got some red in that hair! 🙂
Happy 3 months Baby Mantha!
We love you so much!

Oh – sweet baby Samantha! I’m needing to see that baby and kiss on those chubby cheeks! Love those little hands! Beautiful little girl – a wonderful combination of her two big brothers!
Happy 3 months baby girl, we love you!
She has already won our hearts with such a sweet smile.
I cannot even deal with how precious she is…these pics literally bring tears to my eyes! She is GORGEOUS and such a dream come true!
