3 months and counting

Well, baby girl is now 3 months-old as of last Wednesday. I wanted to reflect on what she has done over those three months.

Lenna-Grace can...
1) Sing! Yes, you sing and she babbles with you. You stop and she stops.
2) Finally, with much work, take a bottle. This was necessary since I go back to work in August. I'm going to continue nursing and pumping, so a bottle was a must.
3) Sleep through the night. Oh yes, baby girl mastered this about 8 weeks old. She now sleeps from 8:30-5:30, and then 6:00-9:00. She gets in 12 hours!!
4) Roll over from her tummy to her back--surprisingly enough, she did this at 4 weeks and 3 days old.
5) GIGGLE....it's adorable.
6) Chew her fingers very well!!
7) Eat cereal--this was just accomplished a couple of days ago.
8) Sit up with a little support. She'll be doing it alone soon.
9) Enjoy a pacifier! She never wanted one much, but now....she loves to suck on it when she's tired or fussy in the car.
10) Enjoy a little TV. I do not sit her in front of the TV often, but we discovered she LOVES Go Gabba Gabba. She smiles and yells with delight for the entire show. It has bright colors and songs, so I guess that is why. Since she enjoys it, I let her watch it once a day--it's cute to watch her:)
11) Get in the pool! We've taken her swimming in our pool a few times. She does very well.
12) Splash in the tub. Lenna-Grace LOVES bath time.
13) Pass more gas than anyone else in the family in a given day.
14) POUT!! It is so cute when she does it, which is rarely, but she puckers out her lower lip....too adorable.
15) Our baby girl can be away from home for a few hours...yes, this more something Mommy and Daddy had to learn, but she's stayed a few hours away with Aunt TT or Grammy. I'm going to MISS her so much when I go to work.
