Aletta: 3 months

Our baby girl is three months old today! She is such a joy and a wonderful addition to our family. Aletta (also known as Lettie Lou Who, Letta Lou and Ayetta Douise (Ev's name for her) ) is a very happy and content baby. She is often satisfied to sit in her bouncy seat and watch her crazy siblings. It's hard to believe that before too long she will be running around with them.
Aletta is a great sleeper and is currently on a really good schedule. Most days she wakes up at 7:00/7:30 am and eats every three hours during the day and then goes to bed after she eats at around 7:30pm. She still sleeps in our room in the pack n play but I am considering moving her upstairs soon since she is sleeping so well. Aletta is close to rolling over. She probably could do it she just hasn't had the chance to yet (the floor can be a hazardous place for a baby to lay around at our house).
I'm really enjoying having a baby in the family again. It is fun to have children at various stages/ages. There are special things about each age and it is nice to be able to experience them all at once. I love having Evie to teach and have conversations with: she really is my little companion or as she would say she is my "big helper." Judah is all boy and it is great to begin to get a glimpse into what he is thinking as he starts to communicate a little more each day. And I LOVE having a cute little baby to snuggle with.
The Lord has blessed us richly with these little ones and I pray earnestly that we would be good stewards of these eternal souls under our care.
