3 months


Wow! Miss T is already 3 months old...times flies when you're havin' fun! :) Here are a few things she is doing at 3 months...

~She is talking a TON! She loves talking to Kyle the most, and she's also very talkative in the morning. Kyle is SURE she gets this from me--hehe
~Rattles and toys have started being GRABBED, although she does not enjoy when she hits herself in the face. ;)
~We have enjoyed reading lots of books together. Her favorites lately are the peek-a-boo books with their bright colors and fun words.
~She loves being diaperless and kicking her legs on the changing table. I'm pretty sure she could hang out almost all day that way! This has, of course, led to a few messes.
~Sleeping through the night--hooray!!! This is not always super consistent, but we'll take the sleep when we can get it!
~She is trying to figure out how to suck her thumb, but she still has a little ways to go. So far she just gets one, or both fists up to her mouth and licks them like a lollipop. She has only gotten just her thumb in her mouth once so far.
We are falling more in love with her every day! We're excited to see what the next month holds...

A Day in the Life...

Well as the date for returning to work nears, I've been trying to soak in as many memories as I can with my sweet baby girl. Hopefully these will get me through the 3 1/2 months of the rest of the school year! Here are a few favorites:



~eating lunch with her~she sits in her bouncy seat on the island, and I can sit next to her on the stool and we have little lunch dates :)



~naptimes~this is a favorite for obvious reasons, but I just get a kick out of her when she sleeps! Her little grunts, the way her arms flail around when she gets out of her swaddling, how peaceful she looks,...it's so sweet! Today she even fell asleep laying next to me in her boppy holding my finger--my heart was so full!!!



~playtime~she loves things that make noise, and loves to smile! I especially love watching her play with her Daddy--it is so sweet the way she smiles at him!



~reading books~whether it's "reading" her favorite crinkly book, or reading Bible stories before bedtime, it is so fun to watch her look at books and listen to the way our voices sound when we read. I can already tell she's going to love reading!!! ;)



There are so many more moments that I enjoy throughout the day (and of course moments I don't enjoy too!) and I'm going to soak up every last minute with her before I head back to school.
