Our baby is 3 months already! Where has time gone?
Elli has gotten so big, but she is still a tiny peanut for her age! I finally decided I needed to get all the newborn clothes out of her drawers but many of the 3 month clothes are still too big for her. I estimate she is about 12 lbs.
She has Mac and I wrapped around her little finger with the sweetest smile. She thinks that if she gives us her sweet smile it is okay to wake up only 10 minutes after she was put down for a nap. Well, it would be better if she stayed sleeping but it does kinda make it better. She has intermittent periods of sleeping 5-6 hours at a time for a few days then back to waking up every 2-3 hours. I am so ready for some solid sleep!
She now reciprocally laughs and coo's so it is fun to have "conversations with her, although I am sure on-lookers think we are crazy! I think she may be a soccer player in the future because her feet are moving and grabbing things almost as much as her hands. Almost anything she grabs goes to her mouth already. She has also mastered the art of batting at things, holding her rattle ball and her hand control is getting better day by day.
Elli is a very curious young girl. She always wants to be held out, looking at the world. The sun light through the leaves is still her favorite.
She was born with blue eyes and so far it looks like they will stay piercing blue. Everyone says she looks like Mac, so at least I have this one think ;)
