living the dream: baby's three months!

on thursday last week averie turned three months old. there are days when i can't believe that she's already three months, and there are days when i can't believe that she's only three months! regardless of the day, she is showing more and more of her personality each day. and she's gonna be a riot this one.

averie at three months:

~ she loves to giggle and the littlest things make her giggle. sometimes its as simple as seeing her reflection in the mirror or mommy just sticking out her tongue.

~ she absolutely adores her big brother. i have make sure that this is documented somewhere because i know that at some point during her teenage years she may truly dislike him and i'll always be able to remind her that she really does love him. liam also adores her. it's amazing to watch these two together. i really feel (and hope) that they will be close siblings. just call it mothers intuition.

~ averie has begun to grab onto her toys ... and then proceed to put them in her mouth. basically everything that is within grabbing reach is now ending up in her mouth. this is new territory for me, liam didn't put anything in his mouth.

~ she loves her play mat and could spend every waking moment on it. giggles away when the music is on and kicks her legs like she's running a race.

~ on the flip side, she is definitely not too keen on being in her bumbo. we'll keep putting her in it and hopefully she'll get used to it. i'm looking forward to bringing out the exersaucer, or as we like to call it 'the circle of neglect'.

~ loves loves loves her bath time. averie splashes the entire time she's in the tub and has an ear to ear grin. she could be completely melting down and once she here's the bath running she's super happy baby.

~ still cooing and babbling all the time. i find she's really talkative in the morning, i think she's going to be a morning person. she gets a little crabby in the evening.

~ will take a bottle, only if it's breast milk though. we tried a bottle of formula and she gagged. we'll keep trying because it don't have enough supply to nurse and pump.

~ she's wearing all her 0-3 month clothing and some 3-6 month stuff. she's just so long that somethings are too small. so looking forward to seeing her in her two christmas outfits!!

~ at her vaccination appointment she weighed 10 lbs. and that was almost a month ago. not a fun time. she screamed for about ten minutes after. poor girl. i think she's got to be around 11 lbs. at least.

~ averie rolled over from her front to her back for the first time on her three month birthday. all on her own. i think this is way early. i don't remember liam rolling until he was around five months. now i'm all worried that she'll be walking in six months. i'm so not ready for that!!
