So, I am way, way behind on this since Briella turned 3 months old 2 weeks ago (June 12)...oh well. Never too late to write about it. :)
Briella, this month was a really fun month!
Life in General
- At your two month mark I talked about how in to the ceiling fan and your monitor you were. Well, it was only a couple days later when your interest in those things waned and you became much more interested in looking at people. So, fun! When changing your diaper, instead of staring at your monitor like before, you now look and smile at whomever is changing you.
- Your first real smiles in response to people began this month and now you smile A LOT...lots of really big smiles. I love it!
- Being in your changing pad is still one of your favorite places. I'm not sure why, but you are just so happy there (well, unless you are hungry, but that's the only time it isn't a happy place. Ha!).
- You are still wearing 0-3 month clothing except for pajamas, which you are now wearing 3-6 months.
- You are a wonderful night sleeper, most nights sleeping between 9-12 hours in a row! That makes your momma happy since she likes her sleep, too. Daytime sleeping is still sporadic. I'm not sure why it's so hard for you to sleep during the day. Most days you take cat naps, but don't sleep for too long. Although every now and then you'll take a good long nap during the day. The not sleeping during the day makes it hard for me to get stuff done some days, but since you sleep during the night so well, I won't complain. Starting soon we'll work on a better daytime sleeping schedule. :)
- You moved in to size 1 diapers early this month. You probably could have a little sooner, but we had a bunch of newborn diapers to use. :)
- You are growing and growing! We had to remove the newborn insert out of your car seat so you could fit in there better.
- You wake up SO happy! I enjoy going in to your room when you've woken up and watching you just looking around. As soon as you see me (or whoever is getting you up) you get a gigantic smile.
- You really don't like tummy time very much. 5-10 minutes at a time is about all we can get you to do before you are unhappy, but we'll keep working on it.
Firsts
- You made your first trip to the mountains on Mother's Day
- Air Show! You slept right through the Thunderbirds even as loud as they were. :)
- You slept in your crib in your own room for the first time! I was able to move you in there a lot sooner than I thought, but daddy put you down in there one night and you slept wonderfully. I didn't sleep as well at first, but with the video monitor, I was ok. :)
- First real smiles in response to people. So darn cute!
- Daddy put together your bouncer and we sat you in it. You aren't quite ready for it, but you sat in it for a few minutes with a blanket around you so you wouldn't tip over.
- At Grandpa and Grandma's you got to sit in a sit up swing for the first time, too and you loved it!
Pictures from Month 3
All her hair! Haven't ever taken a pic of the back of her head showing all the (crazy) hair she has (and has had since the day she was born) :)
Daddy and B sporting their Broncos shirts.
All cuddled up (and sleeping) in daddy's arms at the air show.
The dreaded tummy time. Ha ha!
Well, maybe tummy time isn't so bad...
Just love her expression in this one.
Smiley!
Swinging!
Happy 3 months baby girl!!!
