It's hard to believe our sweet girl is 3 months already! Here are some things about her...
- she is very long! we may have to move to 6 month sleepers so she can stretch her legs
- she weighs 11 pounds
- she definitely has her own personality, complete with funny faces!
- she sleeps on average 10 hours at night
- she will go to sleep on her own at night if you lay her in her bed, usually within 10 minutes if her crib soother is on, even if she is wide awake
- she still doesn't like to nap during the day
- her favorite toys are a rattle that rolls (hard to explain) and a little pink bug that plays music
- she still fits into almost all her newborn stuff, and she can wear 0-3 month stuff too, but not 3-6 (not even close)
- she will take a paci sometimes, but she still doesn't really care for it, she would rather have her hands
- if she does want her paci & it falls out, she'll put it back in her mouth
- she is preteething definitely now
- she is very happy, and will only cry if she's hungry or tired or really dirty
- she loves people, but looks for mommy & daddy first before she's ok with them
- she is very happy in the morning (as long as you don't wake her up) & greets you with big smiles & little laughs
- she loves her swing & her bouncer...she likes to sleep in the swing too
- lights & ceiling fans are the most interesting things ever
- she has hit her arm once & leg once on her changing table while she's flailing about (happily) & then she looks at me & screams as if to say "fix it!"
- doesn't care too much for bath time (I think she gets cold because she likes the shower part)
- she still prefers nursing over a bottle & thinks she has to nurse as soon as I get home, even if she just ate
- she will eat as much and as long as you let her, and pitches a little fit (beginning with a high pitched "you're killing me!" scream) when you stop, but is fine again if you start feeding her again. David learned this first hand the other day, and gave her 6-7 ounces (which she is so not ready for), which she proceeded to throw half of up on him before he was supposed to go back to work.
- can pull herself upright from a 20 degree angle, but usually falls forward in a few seconds (in her carseat she pulls herself into a ball & gets mad that she cant get out)
- she will arch her back & stretch & lock her legs if she doesn't want to get in her carseat, swing, etc.
- she loves to sit up & stand up & she does really well with it!

wow! you two look so much alike! that is amazing. And I am not surprised at how long she is, look at her parents! lol. Gorgeous little girl you have there.
I love the pictures...you'll end up having my problem and want to keep them all out and can't tell which ones are your favorites and which ones you'll have to take down. At least you have that very big hallway to hang things (:
So sweet! Thanks for the update!
I'm enjoying reading your blog.
What a cutie I love the pics!!! How do you get the small baby that will sleep through the night and I get the big one that will at most, and this was last night, give me 6 1/2 hours. Granted that is the first time he normally goes 3-4 hours!!!!!
