3 month Love bug

My dear Sophia is already 3 months....and you guessed it, where is the time going? Everyone always says that the 3 months mark is a big one. That it is! She is growing into a little person right before my eyes and no longer is just an infant crying, eating and pooping. Of course she still does those three things, but now we can already see her personality coming out. She holds my hand, cuddles, stares, giggles, smiles, frowns, kisses, sucks, sticks out her tongue, follows with her eyes, holds her head up and sleeps wonderfuly :) I am crazy with taking pictures of Sophia but noticed that I hardly have any of the two of us or the three of us, so my goal is to capture more pictures of our family so I have the memories.

Sophia in 3 words:

Adorable-I can't get over all of the little corky and cute things that she does. I could just stare at her for hours.

Observant-Oh how quickly she is growing and wants to look at everything. I love being able to look at things through her eyes and watch her look at things for the very first time. She doesn't like tummy time so much anymore because she wants to look at the world and not at the ground.

Knows-what-she-wants (ok, that's not a word)--She sure is a ''first born'' if you know what I mean. She will let you know when she wants something. :)

Sophia LOVES:

To be held, kisses, being sung to (even if your voice isn't that great, she loves good humming), to snuggle in the wee hours of the morning, being bounced, to pretend to walk and be held up like she is walking, being tickled on her belly by daddy, making eye contact and playing on her 'play mat' while listening to music and being held outward so she can look at the world in front of her.

Yes, her eyes are still blue with a greenish tint.

Sophia doesn't so much LOVE:

Diaper changes when she first wakes up, falling asleep on her own (however she is getting better at it), the sun in her eyes, tummy time, not being held when she starts to get tired and loud voices.

Bumble Bee tuna

Sophia received quite a few swimsuits at her showers, but this is the one that fits right now. This was mine when I was a baby.

That said, Sophia is already growing out of it. :(

Honestly.....the CUTEness! Can't get enough of that belly :) She sucks on her hands ALL the time now. I think it comforts her.

Hello Kitty

I found these adorable legging' on babylegs.com and I think I'm obsessed! I will be ordering many more in the future, especially when it starts getting colder. These are the infant size, which can later be used on her arms. They are wonderful, because it makes diaper changing a breeze.

She loves her Guncle

Sunny Days

We have had a few sunny days--and YES, I mean a few. My mimi got to wear her sun hat for the first time and wasn't too fond of the sun shining in her eyes, but I was able to capture a few pictures. You can tell she doesn't really know what to think of the brightness.

Look at that face!

2 months down......

....and things are getting easier and more predictable every day!

The first month was very hard because I would worry, not know why she was crying and just the newness of this beautiful being. I have to admit that I was pretty anxious at first--not wanting to leave the house much in fear she would cry, etc. My mom was and is my lifesaver as far as helping me out! She watches Sophia just to let me get things done. It's such a blessing!

Sophia is such a ball of energy! She moves like crazy.....SERIOUSLY! I have never seen a baby that squirms so much! She is also so strong. She has only been waking up once a night the past 5 nights! Let's hope this stays this way! I finally feel like myself again since I am sleeping so well!

Big eyes--they are still blue

She is so strong!!

love her

Chillin' with gigi

Sleeps the best in someones arms. :)

''Stop with the pictures already mom!''

Chillin' ha ha

I'm 2 months Old!

Words cannot describe the deep love I have for Sophia. We have so much fun together every day! Here is her 2 month old photo shoot :)

A few more tidbits:

• She loves her play mat--she will play by herself for about 30 minutes, which gives time for me to get things done. She doesn't really like her swing anymore.
• I now see that I forgot to tell in my birthstory that I didn't tear! Nope, not one stitch! With a sideways head and arm :)
• We decided not to suppement Sophia with Vitamin D
• She is getting very vocal with her coos, goos and giggles--it melts our hearts!
• She tries to watch TV when its on, so I have to make sure her head is turned the opposite direction.
• She already has so much of a personality. And she is extremely sqirmy.

Her schedule lately consists of falling asleep between 930-1030pm--waking up to nurse between 230-330am--waking up around 7am, napping usually 8-10am...then the rest of the day consists of naps/feedings until night time. I am so thankful that we have somewhat of a schedule now :)
