3 Months Old!

My little girl has been here for 3 months already!! The time has flown by! I don't realize how big she is until I look back at the pictures of her in the first few weeks. I tried to do our 3 month "photo shoot" that we do each month, but now that I have such a little wiggle worm it was much more difficult. She kept trying to sit up more, and that would lead to leaning/falling over. Then when I would try to get a smile, she would stop and stare at the camera. Here are some of the humorous attempts at a "good" picture.

Here's what I consider the best one

 

Here are some facts about our sweet Kacie this month: 

• She is still not napping, but I'm going to "crack down" and get serious about it next week. 
• She smiles ALL the time (unless we're trying to take a picture of course).
• She has started having a little bit of "fussy time" around 6-7 each night. I think she's just tired from not napping during the day. Other than that, she hardly ever cries.
• Her bedtime is anywhere from 8:30-9:30, and she sleeps through the night most nights. She usually wakes up any time from 6-8 a.m.
• She does great when we leave her with Grandma & Grandpa.
• I don't know her measurements since we don't have a 3 month check up.
• She has started to discover her hands and fingers. We have caught her several times just staring at her hand very intensely.
• She still loves sticking out her tongue and eating/licking anything that gets close to it.
• She is still being swaddled at night to control those arms. The few times she has woken up in the middle of the night, every time she had gotten one or both of her hands out and was not able to put herself back to sleep.
• She holds her head up so well, and it is so much easier to pick her up and hand her back and forth between Jason and me.
• She is still working on rolling over. She can get to her side by herself, but doesn't quite have enough "power" to go all the way over. If I put her on her side, then she can roll to her tummy. She just has to put it all together!
• She is such a little wiggle worm and doesn't like to be in one place for long! 
• She is also getting good at grabbing things. When we lay her on her play mat, she grabs and hold onto the toys that hang down. When we pick her up, she always grabs our shirts (or my hair!)

Happy 3 months Kacie Lynn! We love you so much! We are so amazed at how much you grow and learn each day. I love watching you stare at your surroundings as your little brain is taking everything in. Can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the next few months!!
