3 months old

My baby's 3 months old :).. how quickly they grow....





And she's been working on her smile...



And on her tummy time!

Sometimes...

...I sit here at work and just stare a the pictures of her posted on this blog.

It has been a steady rhythm of feeding time, playtime, naptime, tummy time, cuddle time, quiet time, bedtime...
The common factor here is time. Or not enough of it. I caught myself this morning asking, "when was the last time I had a shower?" Not that I was wildly funky, just surprised that I couldn't answer the question with any degree of certainty.

It seems that the little indicators of development creep in. Someone mentions that she tried to reach for a toy during tummy time. Was it reaching or just that spastic extending of the arms? Smiling or just gas? Did she just roll over on purpose or just flop around?

I DO know that she has started making more sounds. She's starting push away or pull towards her mouth with her hands. Not with any amount of dexterity, but the message is clear enough. Her head is getting steadier ever week, and she can prop herself up on her arms. I got what I believe to be a reactive social smile the other day! Of course it must have been an anomoly as we haven't been able to duplicate the phenomenon since.

Baby steps. If I look back 3 months ago to see what she was capable of then compared to know, it's just WOW. I'm still waiting for her to make a leap that just blows me away. Until then, we'll keep singing and playing.

3 months !!

Oh my goodness my baby's 3 months old now!!



We've been working on tummy time and grab my finger (GRAB! NOT PULL! GRAB!) time, and giggle time :).

Being back at work has been pretty ok - getting back into the swing of things and also learning new things have been good. I do miss spending time with Jade but I have to admit, I missed work. Plus Jade has been doing so good at the day care - they are really good to her there and call her Miss Jade all time. The girls L-O-V-E her!
