last Sunday Sasha passed the 3 month threshold, and like most babies (so I'm told) she has now almost doubled her birth weight...that's right...she's over 14 lbs 5 oz at her last weigh in! She clearly goes through growth spurts where she totally gorges on food and plumps up...then she thins out and grows long. She has grown in length to 24 1/2 inches!
sometimes she seems so big...and yet sometimes she still seems so very very small :)
it has been a whirlwind and even the days that we do nothing much seem to fly by soooo fast! I still lose time snuggling with her everyday. It's a nice life and I really like it ;)
her happy and healthy demeanor every day (aside from those fussy moments of course!) make it kinda easy not to worry too much about infections or other problems as she tries to outgrow her reflux into the kidneys.
we'll see how happy she is when she finally gets her immunization shots in a couple of weeks!
this week we're on a road trip with Granma to her friends cottage. With her brother and cousin Sarah along it should be a great experience for Sasha, though it will be a while yet before she gets into any mischief with them (we'll see). we're lookin' forward to gettin' out of town for a bit.
We're happy to have Che with us for the next couple of weeks and will take advantage of great summer weather to do a few family outtings around town too. many more firsts for Sasha, and us too!
now I'm also counting down the days 'til my mom comes to town (Sept 1st) and Sasha finally gets to meet her Oma! yeah! And to top it off we will be bringing my family and the whole Whittam clan together for a gathering - so rare to have everyone in town at the same time! :)
pics below:
- quite a few with dad: posing with her brother and with her cousin Brettster; reading time; lunch on the back deck; and look at how long she is!
- two sleeping pics: one with me and another for the "comfy?" category (the funniest yet in my opinion!)
- sittin' up in the car seat and on the couch (is it just me or does it look like she's pretending to put the peddle to the metal?)
- feeding time shared by her cousins Elise and Sarah
- the cousins eat at the last Whittam clan gathering - Daniel, Kenton, Brett, Sarah, Elise and Sasha
