3 MONTHS! 1/4 OF A YEAR OLD!



Cannot believe our little nugget (or as Ryan calls her, stinky chin) is 3 months old!  We celebrated her 3 month birthday yesterday (AKA Mother's Day) with lots of playing and a walk where she cried the entire time. :)

I've been trying to update this blog past the typical monthly posts for forever now.  I finally had it updated, went to publish when suddenly my computer FROZE and I had to exit out of Chrome...only to find everything I wrote DIDN'T SAVE.  Argh!  I thought this kind of stuff only happened with important work and school documents? :)

Anyway - I will update that when I can again.  Onto out baby girl's 3 month update!

LIKES: smiling, eating, trying to fit her entire hand in her mouth and gagging herself, playing on her play mat, "chatting" with mommy and daddy, kicking her feet in the bath tub and on the bouncer, starting at anything and everything new, trying to hold her head for a long time like a big girl, being held outwards so she can look at everything, having huge blowouts to make mommy deal with, looking @ things with lights (especially the TV), being read and sung to, bath time, walks around the neighborhood when she's full of milkies and has a clean diaper, and grabbing things and holding them

DOES NOT LIKE: a bottle, her car seat UNLESS we're moving (it's seriously like clockwork - craziest and most annoying thing in the world...traffic and red stop lights = HOW DARE YOU), having to wait to eat, getting her stinky chin cleaned, getting her nails clipped (I just started biting them off because it's way easier), kisses with daddy's beard, being put down when she's in snuggle mode (I know, I know, but a girl has to pee sometimes!), and her crib (the one night I tried to get her to sleep in there and not in the Rock n Play was a disaster...she was back in the RNP by midnight)

Here are some pictures to hold you over until I can update more about our life with our little family :)

TWO MONTHS



I LOVE: eating, kicking my feet high into the air, eating my hands, bringing my hands together, smiling, eating, being sung (loves ABCs!) & read to, hitting dangling things from my play mat, peeing & pooping, unexpectedly taking a nap when mommy hits her breaking point and realizes a nap isn't going to happen (also included in this is crying as soon as mommy lays down to try to attempt a nap), sleeping in my Rock N Play, falling asleep in someones arms, and staring at lights and ceiling fans

I DON'T LOVE: taking naps during the day, my car seat, taking a bottle, being laid somewhere away from mommy and daddy, pacifiers unless I'm really losing it in my car seat, my crib, being startled (and I startle easily),socks, and getting my neck cleaned (daddy calls me stinky chin or stinky neck)

MILESTONES:

  • celebrated daddy's 30th birthday on 4/4
  • first big holiday - Easter - on 4/5
  • first WE NEED A CHANGE OF CLOTHES blowout 4/6
  • started eating her hands and putting them together around 3/30
  • started kicking her feet in the air and trying to touch them with her hands
  • bats her hands when she doesn't want something
  • can hold head up for a lot longer now
  • officially packed away the Newborn clothes :(
  • weighs 11 pounds and grew another inch - now 23 in long! 50th percentile for weight and 70th for height
Here are pictures of the 203439 I take a day. :)  We love you, Everleigh Ann! 





First overalls!

She took a pacifier...for 2 minutes!

Scary Easter bunny...I'd cry too :)
