3 months with sister girl

3 months.
1/4 of a year.
what!?!?
Kirby Jane is just sweet as pie.

She has been laid back from the beginning and that continues to be the case. 
I think that's part of her sweet disposition and one of the millions of reasons that we continue to fall for her daily.


her brothers ADORE her
every single time she sees Judson, she smiles. every time. a guaranteed smile


she is definitely not short on attention and love

and hair accessories




Townesy, literally, can not get enough of her.
he is in her face constantly

she tolerates him
kind of
she is easy to get to sleep for the most part and sleeps all night!
she starting to break out of the swaddle, so perhaps we'll switch to just a sleep sack soon.
she still sleeps in our room, as we haven't completed her nursery just yet since the remodel
she is a great, efficient eater and stays pretty much on a 3 hour schedule during the day
she is "talking" like crazy.
she can be sensitive when surprised and will throw that bottom lip out in a heartbeat.

if she's fussy, she is typically either sleepy, hungry or gassy. 
or wants me to hold her.
She is already very aware of who is holding her and prefers her mother (not complaining one bit as i know this only lasts for a short while).
Her smile transforms her entire face and you can not help but feel joy from your head to your toes in return. 
She likes to sit up, almost on my hip, so she can see what is going on.
Already, if i'm cradling her "like a baby" she is doing a sit-up trying to look around. 

when she is really sleepy, she will press her face right up next to mine and rub her nose back and forth. 

i really can't seem to get enough of her.
neither can her dad or brothers.
or the rest of the family.
we simply adore her.
the other day GT said, "Kate, you're just smitten, aren't you?"
yep. unashamedly.
he also asks which headband she will wear when i'm dressing her.
it kind of makes me melt watching him with a daughter and care that she has matching accessories. 

what did we do without this little dose of sweet in our family???

she has the BEST big brothers.
they are always wondering where she is if she isn't right beside them.
when they see her, they reach up to give her a kiss and a hug. even if they did 3 minutes before. 

we rarely call her Kirby Jane, but have fallen into the habit of saying "baby girl" or "sister"
Townesy calls her snuggle bug, sugar bean, pretty princess or kooky. 
when he addresses her it's with a breathy, "heeeyyyy sister. how's my snuggle bug. heyyyyy" 
it's quite hilarious.
Judson looks at her and just says over and over, "i love my sister. i love my sister..."
 
my cousin, Korie, said it best, "she's quick to give a smile"
and she is!
we love our sweet girl and thank God daily for this gift of sugar in our family
