3 months

Sophia, you are 3 months old this week! I cannot believe it! They absolute joy you have brought to your daddy and me is indescribable. My heart no longer aches because you are finally here to fill the void that was in my heart for so long. Although you are growing way too fast (slow down!), it is amazing to watch you grow and change daily. Here's what you are up to at 3 months:

*You weighed 11 pounds 3 ounces and were 23.5 inches at your 2 month appointment. (I'll try to weigh again soon ; )
*You are beginning to laugh more consistently. Right now I get the most giggles from you when I "bite" your belly and when daddy plays "I'm gonna get the baby...!"
*You have the biggest, gummiest, beautiful smile I've ever seen
*You eat 3.5 ounces every 2-2.5 hours while at Ms. Cain's (you LOVE Ms. Cain! But, who doesn't?!)
*You still nurse when you are with mommy. You are becoming more efficient at it so it doesn't take so long. However, you like to smile and stare at mommy sometimes instead of eat = )
*You go to bed at 8/8:30 and sleep until 5:30, nurse, then go back to sleep until 7 when I wake you up to get ready to go to Ms. Cain's. We are so blessed that you are such a great sleeper! Mommy thanks you! ha!
*You would rather blow bubbles/raspberries than "talk" and coo like you used to. It's very funny, but also very slobbery. We have to keep you in those big 'ol ugly bibs to keep you dry
*You LOVE your toy elephant and tiger. They keep your attention longer than any of your other toys. They also go straight to your mouth when you get them
*You are trying so hard to roll over from back to tummy. You make it to your side very easily then your arms get in the way. You haven't rolled from tummy to back in awhile. You just get fussy during "tummy time" and put your face down so that mommy will turn you over and you won't have to go through all that trouble. You are rather stubborn ; )
*You have enough hair that most of your hair bows will stay in your hair without a headband...you look so big and so pretty!
*You love to watch football. You will stare at the TV anytime football is on. This is a habit mommy wants to break, but daddy loves! ha!
*You bring so much light to our lives. Your daddy and I are so in love with you!!
