3 Months Old

Wow, it's hard to believe it's been 3 months already! I've been learning lots of new things and working on perfecting others.

If you haven't seen me in a little while, I look very different. Maybe daddy will post some of my new pictures on my picture page... it seems as though they are constantly taking new pictures of me. Grandma Connelly says I'm starting to look like my mommy, thanks to my new chubby cheeks. (Mommy wasn't sure how to take that comment, but she was happy nonetheless.) I'm still losing my hair faster than it's growing back. I keep hearing that this is how I'll look when I get a lot older, too. But, that's million of years away.

My vision is getting much better. I can see almost 15 feet, which means I can see my mommy and daddy from across the room. My eyes are still a deep blue color, which my mommy loves. I recently watched my very first Baby Einstein video... WOW, it was sooo cool.

I'm working on holding my head up on my own. It still wobbles every now and then, but I'm working hard to steady it. When I lay stomache-down on my Boppy pillow, I pretty good at holding up my head to look around. I'm still working on lifting my head when laying flat on my stomache. (I'm not a big fan of "tummy time.") Mommy and daddy are trying to teach me to use my arms to push up, but I like to pretend I'm a seal and lift from my chest.

I'm still not sure what these things are on the end of my arms, but I'm discovering I can use them to grab my favorite baby-sized blanket (mommy says its a washcloth) to stuff into my mouth. This also helps me wipe off this wet stuff constantly dribbling out of my mouth...I always like to look my best. These things on the end of my arms are also fun to stuff into my mouth and to make some of my hanging toys move back and forth.

And then there are these things on the end of my legs... I have no idea who they belong to!!

I learned something very fun recently -- Mommy was holding me upright and whenever I pushed and tried to straighten my legs, I zoomed very high into the air. Oh, how fun!! I could do this all day. I tried doing this again while laying down in my crib, but I didn't seem to go anywhere. Hmmm...
