You GROW girl!

Up until the last few weeks, I’ve felt like time is standing still. I’m trying not to look so into the future that I don’t enjoy the present, but I can’t help but be so excited about all of Addie’s milestones to come. Lately, however, it seems like she’s getting bigger overnight! About two weeks ago, at around 2 ½ months old, she started sleeping through the night once or twice a week. I should be treasuring those nights, but of course, even though she’ll sleep all the way through, I still end up waking up once or twice a night to check on her anyway. Hopefully over the next month, we’ll transition her from the basinet in our room: to the crib in her own room. For now, we’ve begun to establish a bedtime and try to have her in bed by 8:30 every night. Most of the time we’re successful, but sometimes a bedtime this early is just a lost cause. 

 Two months old!

Now, at three months old, she is very attentive, and loves to play with her hands and feet.  We can see her coordination improve every day as she plays, and has even put her own pacie back in her mouth several times!! She also likes to follow Dustin with her eyes as he walks around the house… She sure does love her Daddy! She’s beginning to babble and coo quite a bit, blows lots of bubbles with her mouth, and we’re hoping she’ll start to giggle soon. It’s no surprise; she’ll probably be a talker!

Tonight, we put her in her excersaucer just to see what she would do, and once again, we were so impressed! Even though we had to put a box underneath her so she could reach (she’s still a little small for it), she figured out two of the toys that spun on it right away. She liked it for the most part, but scared herself a little when she bounced, haha. We’ll have to wait a few more weeks before she can really use it, but it was so cute to see her play around in it for a few minutes. 

Three months old!

I can’t believe in just a few weeks we’ll be celebrating her first Thanksgiving and just a month later, Christmas. I’m looking forward to all the milestones to come in the next few months, but can’t imagine being any more proud of my baby girl than I already am!
