3 Months

Still playing catch up here...

These are some pictures and thoughts from the Little One's 3rd month of life.

• This was really a fun month!  She started becoming a lot more playful and a lot more aware of the world around her. 
• Bath time with Daddy before bed is one of her favorite times.  She started splashing in the water, and I'll frequently hear her giggling and squealing away with him.
• She loves playing with her orange oball from her Aunt K.  She can grab it herself and frequently brings it to her mouth to chew on.
• She's constantly sucking on her fingers now and will put most everything in her mouth at some point.

• She can sit up better and is able to reach and grab her toes.
• She's trying really hard to roll over and is getting much stronger.
• She can lift her whole back up and arch it when laying on the floor.
• She can also scoot around at 45 degree angles.

• She's laughing a lot and smiling (except not whenever a camera is present).
• She has lots of sounds she makes: ha, hi, uh huh, mmm, bbb, high-pitched squeals and screetches and more.
• I went back to work this month and she has done ok taking a bottle from Daddy.  We had to re-teach her how to take it from him since we let so much time go by from when we 1st taught her, but it seems like she will at least take one from him-even if she doesn't love it.

• Her guests this month were: Grandma B, Aunt K, and J and A from Siberia/Finland.
• She watched Daddy run a race this month.
• We're guessing her weight is about 12 pounds and height is about 25 inches.

• She goes crazy making the bouncy seat and animal friends bar move all over the place.  She knows kicking her legs make those things hanging down go crazy, and she loves it.
• She loves "reading" her crinkly books.

We love watching you grow, Little One!  We can already tell you are so intelligent as you observe the world around you, realize what you are capable of doing, and remember those things you learned the previous day.
