It is hard to believe but it has already been 3 months since our daughter came into our lives. She has already changed so much. It seems that every day she gets bigger and learns something new. Babies truly are amazing little creatures. Everything starts out as being totally foreign to them but slowly they get to know certain things in their environment. Our daughter clearly recognizes our faces. she gets especially excited when she sees me if I have been out of the room or out of her line of sight. She even seems to recognize our cats. The first time she reached for something it was to touch one of the cats.
One of the sweetest thing I ever heard was her first little laugh. She laughs usually every day now. It is fun to try to figure out what she will find funny. Usually it isn't the same thing twice. It is almost like she looks at you and thinks "I found that funny yesterday, that's old news".
We got her a new activity gym because the first one we had didn't seem to really engage her. She loves this new one. Her favorite thing to do is to watch the lights above her and to reach out and grab a little lady bug that dangles close by. She is entertained for quite a while by it.
Sleeping has become much better, although she is not very regular with her sleep. I never know from night to night how many times she will get up. Most nights she is just getting up once, usually around 3am or 4am, then she'll sleep another 3-4 hours. Some nights she will sleep straight through (boy are those nights a blessing!). We still have the occasional night where she'll get up 2 or 3 times, but luckily those are few and far between now.
I can't believe it has already been 3 months. It still feels like just yesterday I was pregnant and anxiously awaiting her arrival. I am amazed by her every day and can't wait to see what new things she will learn next.
