New thread so it doesn't get lost for those who love to hear about our fierce little one
She had her 3 month well visit. Basically she's awesome (slight exaggeration).
She's now 10lbs 14oz!! And 21.25 inches. And has a 38cm head. I always joke that she has a huge head which is funny bc when she was born they said it was so tiny. All the more room for that beautiful brain of hers.
The doctor is really pleased with her weight gain over the last month. And we got the go ahead to let her go longer at night for feedings. HALLELUJAH!!! Sleep, glorious sleep for us all!
She does have a slightly flat spot and torticollis so we have some stretches we need to do with her.
Because of the torticollis she has a mean side eye that even the doctor laughed at. (Secretly I love it because it cracks me up. But I know she needs to move her head.)
Fantastic update!!! It always warms my heart to hear how well she's doing (heart)
And, yes, that is one mighty fine side-eye. LOL. Sassy girl.
I can't tell you how often I laugh at the faces she makes. And it has no effect on her which further cracks me up.
That particular side was was after she wouldn't go back to bed in the morning. It was like she was saying "muhaha my nefarious plan to wake momma up worked. Let's play!"
Also I was telling MH today that it's so strange that she's my baby. Like how is she 50% Indian and looks nothing like it? His genes are strong! I look like her nanny!

Maybe her features will change as she gets older? I've known newborns who were nearby unrecognizable once they reached toddlerhood.
My (white) cousin lives across the country and I've never met her kids. She posted pics to FB when she and her (white) husband had their first baby ... for a moment I wondered if he was adopted, because he looked NOTHING like either of them. Now he's 5 and looks just like my cousin.

You do not look like the nanny! I bet as her hair gets longer it will be more obvious (at least that has been true for all of my other friends with mixed ethnicity babies).
Yea she may get a bit more brown as she grows but MH is super pale, so we will see. And I'm not a dark brown either. I'm sure her hair will be awesome though

SO CUTE!!! (The both of you!) DS was pretty white at first, which was hilarious because I'm Indian and DH is black, including half Ethiopian which is like *very* dark-skinned.

You and BB are adorable!
FWIW, both of my kids are fair, though they turn a little more golden in the summer. DS barely resembles me, but DD looks like me... just whiter lol. I'm guessing BB will look like you more as she grows out of babyhood.
jerseyjaybird thank you! Especially for the eyebrow comment! I haven't been able to get them threaded since before she was born. But I've been using one of those precision trimmers to keep things in check. Up close its not the greatest but they're passable
