Three Months!

Little miss Sydney is THREE months old! Time sure flies when you're having fun! I will definitely say, it has flown by even faster this time around, now that we have two kiddos!

So, what has littles been up to you ask?

• She slept through the night a few times (in her crib even) from about 9-5 or 9-6 (her first time was at about 10.5 weeks), but then just when I thought we were on to something, she decided she needed to get up once a night again! She still thinks her own bed is no fun to sleep in most of the time, but I've found that if I wait until she is totally OUT before I put her in there, she tends to do ok!
• She is becoming more and more alert, and developing quite the fun little personality
• She is starting to talk and shriek when she gets excited about her toys or whoever is playing with - but she doesn't talk that often...she's generally pretty quiet!
• She has realized that she can grab things, but mostly its just her clothes or her blankets, not her toys yet; she grabs onto her blanket and jams it into her mouth! We've been putting her in little dresses lately and she will hike them right up and chew on them - she better stop that habit once she grows up! :)
• She started sucking on her hand(s) at about 9 weeks and I’ve found its usually a cue that she is tired
• She noticed her hands when she was playing the other day she just kind of stopped and stared at one of them as it passed in front of her face
• Her attention span seems to be pretty long. She will play (stare mostly and talk a little) with her toys for quite a while
• She loves bath time! We usually give her a bath in the big tub, in her little tub chair and she kicks a little and just lays back and enjoys the relaxing warm water! :) Owen enjoys having company in the tub too - he loves to pour water on her feet and she loves anything as long as he's around, she just seems to be in awe of him most of the time!

Here they are reading together…she looks so interested, right?! :)

She did get a little more into it, here she is getting so excited to hear his voice! :)

Other things she’s been up to….

• She had her first trip to the cottage at about 10 weeks old
• She smiles all the time! Even if she's really hungry or really crabby, you can still usually get her to crack a smile! Her entire face lights right up when she smiles, such a sweet little smile she has!
  
• She usually eats about 5oz five times a day and does great transitioning between bottle and breastfeeding
• She is wearing size 1-2 diapers and mostly 3 mo clothes, but still some 0-3 month sleepers
• She loves playing dress up! Her new favorite (er, my favorite) is shoes – since the smallest ones she has are finally fitting her…After Owen got his shoes on for the day yesterday, he wanted Sydney to put her shoes on too – and then he wanted her to walk with him, so here they are walking together! (notice him holding her hand? he does it all the time and its just so precious!)

Here are the monthly pics with her friends, miss bear and mr frog…

Froggy, take one (she has a little annoyed smirk – she was ready for a nap!) Take two, just before bedtime, kinda blurry but you get the point - she was smilin @ papa! :)

…and that’s our little Sydney, sweet as can be! :)
