3 months old

Oh little Critter Girl! You are no longer a little infant, you are a big girl BABY now! You are 3 months old today. Amazing.

Your latest tricks include GRABBING! You have learned in the past week how to open your hand and grab things. Like your toys, Daddy's shirt, and Mommy's hair. What fun! Your hand-eye coordination is still a bit off, so you often grab the air too, but you're getting there. It's so fun to watch you try and improve.

You also SMILE all the time now. It's easy to get a smile and chuckle out of you, just by making funny noises with our mouths. You are still fascinated by moving mouths, and Daddy has introduced farting noises, which gets a laugh from you every time (which Daddy is so proud of, he says your sense of humor comes from him). You also smile each time you see us, especially if it's been awhile, like in the morning or when Daddy comes home from work. It is heart-meltingly sweet.

And you SLEEP like a champ, certainly like you are a member of this sleep-loving family. You've been sleeping about 10-11 hours every night, and Mommy could not be happier. You seem happier too.

You've begun to BABBLE and talk with us, which is so cute. You always answer back when someone says "hi" to you, and you can often be found chatting with your monkey and parrot friends while you play in your bouncy chair. Always a riveting conversation.

You have made it out of the blob stage, and are growing into a little person. Mommy and Daddy love watching you transform into your own little person. We love you very very much, little Critter Girl. Happy 3 month birthday to you!
