Three Months

She would not smile for the camera, no matter how many silly faces Mama made! Already a mind of her own... :)

Our sweet girl turned 3 months last week! I am having so much fun being her Mama! She has been growing and changing so quickly this month... I am so excited for the new stages, but a little sad too! Here is an update on what Lindsay's been up to this month:
**Her hair has been growning... it's still a light brown, dark blonde color. Her mullet has receeded, and her 'old man' spot is slowly going away ie more hair is falling out!
**Eyes are still blue.
**She has been giving me a run for my money when it comes to sleep... after my milk supply ran low she was waking up every 2 hrs around the clock to eat. Now that my supply is back, she got used to the habit of waking up... we are working on extending the time between her feedings again so she's not just 'snacking'. I am hoping that she will turn a corner soon! *yawn*
**Lindsay has discovered she can use her hands to put things in her mouth! Previously she would surprise herself when she would catch a hand/finger in her mouth, but now she has some hand/eye coordination! A few days ago she surprised me by reaching and grabbing a toy and bringing it back to her mouth for a taste! This is her favorite toy to munch on...

**Rolling! She has been able to roll on both sides when she is laying on her tummy. She uses one arm and one leg to sort of fall/push over. We have been practicing on rolling from her back to her tummy lately; she can roll to her side, but can't make it all the way over to her tummy (which I am so fine with...no hurry!) She is not a fan of the flash on my camera... hence the deer in the headlight look...sorry Lindsay!
**Drooling... I have been frequently finding my shoulders wet from her slobber..lol. Here is a pic of those baby blues and a little drool for good measure!

**Watching TV.... now, I am definietly NOT a proponet of promoting television by any means, but I have seen her checking out the TV when it is on. I think she enjoys the colors and music... I have been TIVOing Seseame Street and will let her watch a few minutes of the songs- she loves the music... she smiles, coos... I think her favorite character is Elmo.
**Long! She is getting to be so big... her 3 month Carter pajamas are too short! Her little toes are curling in the footsies... we have some 6 months which are way too big, so we have been dressing her in onsies for awhile.
**Big talker! She loves to talk to us in the morning; we can hear her in her crib cooing away. She frequently will say 'goo' in response to something you say to her!
Wow... if you read to the bottom of all this you are a trooper! I didn't mean to write so much, but it's been a big month!

  1. Love her updates! I LOVE this last pic of her! She's SOOO cute! I can't wait to get my hands on her! Lol! They do grow so fast & I'm so glad that you're enjoying every moment of being a mommy (although it can be tiring, you're doing great!)

  2. I read all the way to the bottom! She is a doll. Sounds like a perfectly normal and happy baby. Just as important, she has an engaged and excited mother to love and support her (and yes, I know that dad is there too!)

    Looking forward to seeing you all on the 12th!

  3. Don't feel bad for writing so much! We want to read about her! (Especially those of us who only get to see her every few months!) she is definitely gettin big! I can't wait to see her (and all of you) in just over a week. I'm getting out Nate's tummy time stuff for her so she'll have somewhere to play if we're here. Of course Nate will probably be too curious to allow much of that, but we can try!
