Anna : 3 Months

Here we are, our little girl is three months old! These first three months of her life have been the most life-changing months of our lives. From the moment Anna was born, Ryan and I both had this immediate rush of love and protection for her. Holding her and looking at her and all her little features felt very surreal.

After bringing her home from the hospital, we worked through some ups and downs. We had some struggles with breastfeeding and the expected sleep deprivation, but that was overshadowed by the snuggles and sweetness of our baby Anna. She had many visitors and the days truly flew by. Before we knew it, she was past the newborn stage and beginning to interact with us more and more. We have now witnessed smiles, cooing, diaper blow-outs, tummy time, many hiccups, sneezes, bubble blowing, startled cries, thumb/fist sucking and big burps. We really enjoying this new, playful stage.
