Ella is 3 months old!

Today Ella Jade is 3 months old! These are photos of her first 3 months. She is the sweetest little thing and about 12lbs! 🩷 Her little coos and smiles bring us to tears, absolutely adorable! 🥹 Everyone who meets her says, "She's like a doll". Sometimes it feels like this isn't real. Ella is always looking around the room, especially at whatever James is doing, just taking it all in. She is so strong, trying to stand, and holding up her head on her own. James continues to be such a sweet and gentle big brother. He is so excited about teaching her things, mainly about the difference between an oboe and a clarinet, or a mandolin and a banjo, but he's also really into circles and pentagons. 😂 Ya know normal toddler things.

Time is going by too fast! These first three months have been a little crazy with the newborn stage, exclusively breastfeeding around the clock, and cluster feedings in the middle of the night. Although there were definitely days of no sleep, it has been such an amazing experience! James has had a lot going on as well between starting school, being sick regularly, new toddler tantrums 😵‍💫 (send help!), and going to five different therapies around school. Needless to say, it has been a little overwhelming at times, but Mike is right there with me. We are so thankful that he is in a position to be available! 💕

Hopefully, I will post more updates more often, but realistically that's not going to happen. 🤣 This month alone, besides all of our regular scheduled appointments, James has a pediatrician appointment, as well as seeing his new GI doctor in Orlando. While we are there, we're meeting up with friends and doing a Disney character breakfast 🥞. He'll complete another sleep study with pulmonology to find out why he still requires oxygen at night. James is also going to his first concert 🎫 (Mike and I are taking him to Fall Out Boy), Daniel Tiger Live, and wrapping up the month with Disney on Ice. ⛸️ Hey, life is short!
