10/26/10 - 3 Months!

Oh boy! Our little peanut is 3 months old today! It's hard to believe, it seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital, now she's just this non-stop growing little thing!

Amelia is doing very well these days. She's been on her probiotics for a full week now, and I really do think they are helping. She's staying up for longer stretches during the day, still sleeping through the night - most nights - (barely qualifying for that title though). She's laughing and smiling up a storm now. She still moves non-stop, she can scoot herself pretty far across the room now, and she can roll over onto her sides. She'll be making the complete turn any day now I'm sure! It just seems WAY too soon for all of this to be happening! Her "hand eye coordination" skills are growing by leaps and bounds...she can follow us clear across the room, she watches us go around the corner, and will continue to watch, waiting for us to come back; she's grasping things/toys/string/etc. VERY well all of a sudden - she has QUITE the grip! All in all, she's doing just great!

She's still nursing like a champ, and I've still been able to pump more than enough every day. SO HAPPY about that! 3 months is the first big "goal" when it comes to breastfeeding, and I'm so proud we made it. Formula free for 3 whole months! YAY. Now, time to work on hitting that 6 month mark!

In other events...I was off to the dentist today. I hate the dentist! But, I actually have pretty great teeth, so it was a VERY quick appointment. I had to get x-rays today since I was pregnant at my last appointment. Everything looked perfect. So, whoo hoo for that.

After work, we all just hung out around the house. Amelia passed out on the way home and took a nice little nap, so we were able to spend some time with Olivia, and we were ALL able to heat a nice hot meal together! Success :) We're in the midst of our first fall/winter storm right now. It's been raining/snowing all night and day, and is supposed to continue on to tomorrow. It's been in the 20's in the mornings, and barley reaching 40 in the afternoons. WOW, it seems like things changed very quickly. It's supposed to get back up into the 50's for Halloween, hopefully that forecast sticks! But, yes indeed, winter is on its way! So, after dinner, Christian started the annual project of putting plastic on the windows. So far, only 3 are done, but we'll get there. Also time to drag out the humidifiers, the winter coats and the boots! Oh my!
