It's been a long time...

So it has been a really long time since we posted. In part because we moved to posting on the shutterfly site and in part because we never seem to have time. She's actually sitting here on my lap, in front of the computer while I type...entertaining herself. There's so much to catch up on, I'm not quite sure where to start. I will probably post a few different times on different topics so that the blog doesn't get too long.


She's grown so much in three months. At her last doctors appointment she weighed 12 pounds. She seems to learn something new every day. For awhile she was babbling at us all the time. If you said "Ahh goo" she would babble something back at you. She's since swiched to more physical activities like sitting up and standing (with support). She decided a few weeks ago that she didn't want to be held like a baby anymore, except when she's sleepy. In the last week she's started grabbing things. She loves laying on her play mat and grabbing the toys that hang down and kicking the parrot that hangs by her feet. We think the most impressive so far has been her interaction with her monkey binky. This is a stuffed monkey that has a passifier attached to it. She now loves to hold this while the binky is in her mouth. She even recognizes that if she pushes on the monkey that the binky will go back to her mouth. She still needs to improve the execution, as the passifier rarely makes it all the way into her mouth.

She loves when people entertain her. She loves watching people and will smile and get all excited watching you. She's had a few true laughs. They tend to occur when I'm cleaning her neck or for no particular reason while she's watching you. I hope to eventually catch this on video because it's super cute.

I really feel like I'm missing something, but it's hard to recall all the things she's done in the last three months. I promise to try and do better with posts.
