3 months

Tilly Rose is growing strong and fast. She is the most full of smiles baby I've known. As soon as she's awake she flashes huge grins like the sun breaking out from behind the clouds. It makes it worth it when I'm shuffling around at 2am to check on the boys, and peek in on her in the cosleeper and she's just full of joy at being alive and kicking her feet. She loves to wiggle and kick her feet, she's always dancing about, move move move. Even when she was inside she was a mover. She's getting better at her grip, starting to more frequently connect with things and hold on, but not purposeful yet. But she does have it down to hold her hands together and bring them to her mouth, which she really likes. She's good at self soothing, slobbering all over her hands she puts herself back to sleep often, or if she's hungry she can delay a good chunk of time with her hands and sleeves. Starting to figure out how to flip over from her tummy to her back, can't do it consistently yet, but it will be soon. And she's started laughing, really cute. She's a talker, often making little cooing sounds, not all the time, but frequently. She's just super sweet and full of light. I keep forgetting that I can put her down, I'll take her so Francesca can do something and find myself wandering around the house with her, instead of setting her down so I can help the boys with something. Finn has gotten a lot more into her lately, giving her endless hugs, and bouncing her in her bouncy chair (sometimes a little more than is advisable.) She likes looking at the people she knows. She's a pretty solid sleeper, going down same time as the boys, and staying in her cosleeper until around 2 or 3. Things are great, our lives are completely chaotic and frantic and full up with love and we're trying to appreciate all of it.

 this last one is our Rose in  a nutshell :)
