Three Months

Anna is three months old!

I don't know exactly how much she weighs because there isn't a three month wellness visit, but I'm guessing she weighs around 9 1/2 pounds. She has definitley gained some more cute baby chub in her face, arms, and legs.

She can grab onto objects now and hold them, bringing them up and into her mouth. She appears to have started teething evidenced by drooling and gnawing on any and every of Mama's body parts- shoulder, arm, finger, face.

She is still very particular about eating and does not like to be patient for the food to come. She HATES her carseat and carriding with a passion.

She is still quite alert, interactive, and dramatic, loves to be outside, has the cutest baby smile ever, and now she makes tons of noises. She squeals, coos, and laughs in delight. She no longer likes her swing, she prefers 24/7 interaction (which unfortunately can't happen), but she will obligingly play by herself pretty well- looking at a bright colored patchwork quilt is currently her favorite activity.

She falls asleep much more easily, but is still a light sleeper and has trouble transitioning to the next sleep cycle. She only takes short naps in her crib- longer ones if in the sling or Moby. To compromise between her getting good sleep and not getting too used to being carried while napping, I try to put her down for a morning and evening nap in her crib (which usually only lasts 30-45 minutes) and then let her take her afternoon nap in the Moby (she will stay asleep for 2-2.5 hours this way and I enjoy it as she will only be an itty baby for so long!).

Her eyes look like they are changing from blue-gray to dark hazel. We figured she would either have brown eyes (like me) or hazel eyes (like Ben and my mom). Time will tell.

She is still quite a baldy up front, except for fine baby hair, but still has the balding-man patchiness in the back :)

Anna you are quite a handful, but we love you to death!
