3 months

3 months! I love these sweet cheeks and bright eyes.

No doctor visit this month, so no official weight/length... I'm guessing she is around 11 pounds though. A little lady, but getting some cute chunks in those cheeks and thighs. 

Now, Eva has a few things to say...

Favorites: Sucking on my fist, being held facing outward, watching myself in the mirror, looking out the window at the birdies and my doggies, sitting in mommy's lap, pushing my legs against ANYTHING, kickin' my strong legs, arching my back, bath time, playing with my hands, changing my diaper, snuggling with mommy and daddy, stroller rides, gabbing out loud, and grabbing/sucking on the toys in my lap. 

Things mommy thinks I'm good at, but not on my favorite list: holding my head up while on my tummy and self-soothing myself to sleep when put in my crib.

I'm sleeping a good 5-7 hour stretch at night before waking up to eat, then I go back down quick for a few more hours until morning. I nap 4-5 times during the day for short stretches. No long naps during the day unless we go out and the car ride/white noise puts me to sleep!

Eva, you bring me joy. Life without you seems so long ago!

the o'ball

Okay, this ball cracks me up. My friend's (Elizabeth) daughter has an o'ball and loves it. It just looks so cute to see a little baby grasp this huge ball. Eva loves it though; she carries it with her around the house.

Eva at 2 months

This post is a bit late. Eva is 11 weeks old today, but better late than never!

I can't believe how fast my baby girl grows. Each day she learns something new and starts seeing different things in her surroundings.

Some current favorites: laying on her back kicking, tracking jingly toys from left to right, sitting upright while being held (to see her world, of course!), nap time in her swing, gazing at the cute baby in the mirror, riding in the baby bjorn, getting snuggles with mommy in the moby wrap, riding in the stroller, smiling back at mommy and daddy's funny faces.

Baby girl is getting into a decent routine. She sleeps about 12 hours at night, waking up at 12 and 4 to eat.  She takes three or four 45 minute naps during the day, but spends most of the day awake.

Who couldn't fall in love with this sweet, chunky face?!
