3 Months- WOW

I know I start every post the same way... I cannot believe my baby is 3 months old! She is growing so fast, I am just amazed at all the new things she can do everyday.

What she's wearing:
She is wearing 0-3 Month clothing now (Only for a week now)
Size 1 diapers

She has long legs, and short torso-- She gets this from her Daddy. Most dresses are too short for her :)

She is also wearing new pretty diamond earrings!! She was perfect during the piercing and only cried for a second. They are ADOREABLE!!

What she is doing:
Little Miss is talkative. I swear if she could say words, she would talk my ears off! She has a high pitched sound that she loves to make. It is so fun when we have baby "conversations". She really knows what I am saying. She also is starting to respond to her name.

She is getting good at taking her paci out of her mouth and trying to put it back in. Each day, her motor skills develop more and more. It is amazing what a week can do. She can grad toys and hold on to them. She loves holding hands...

Sleeping:
She is happy 90% of the time, but afternoons are a bad part of the day. She usually doesn't nap well during the day, so by 7 she is done. I either give her a bath, or start getting her ready for bed around this time each day. By 8:30 she is eating her last bottle of the night and is usually asleep by 9:30 (There have been a couple of occasions this didn't happen, but not often). She usually sleeps until 6:30 or 7 the next morning! YES, it is FABULOUS to sleep all night. In the past month, she had two bad nights! I can handle that. She is a routine baby, it doesn't matter what she is doing, at that time of the night she is ready for bed. I actually like it, because it forces me to also have a routine. The only thing I don't like, is not getting to see her much because she goes to bed early. There have been some nights that she goes to sleep at 8 and sleeps until 7. But, it does give me a chance to catch up on chores and have adult time with Ryan.

Eating:
She eats 4 ozs consistently, every 2-3 hours. Sister loves to eat, and gets angry when she is hungry. I think she gets that from her Momma ;)

I have been back at work for a month now, and I am telling you it doesn't get easier. Every morning it is so hard not to "forget" she is with me and just bring her to work with me. I think I could get away with it ONE day... humm....

I wish it was feasible for me to be a stay at home mommy-- as you can see, I am trying to come to terms with the fact that this day in time, there are not many woman that this is possible for and I am one of those... I pray all the time, that God will lead us in the right direction, and if it is in the cards for me He will show us the way.

This past month, has been my favorite so far (not that they all are not wonderful!). It gets easier every single day. I am more in tune with her and she is adjusted to us. I love how when I walk out of the room or someone else is holding her she is always trying to find her Mommy- it is a need that I hope never goes away and that need grows in to a strong Mother-Daughter relationship.

This month is going to be a month of firsts:

1st time on a mini-vacation to the Lake House with all of her Auntie and Uncles
1st swim
1st Father's Day for Ryan
1st 4th of July
Coopers 1st Birthday

Wow- time flies. I can't believe the little Coopster is 1!! Man, he is getting big and is soo loving to Presley. I need to catch that on video.
