Baby's First Halloween! 2015

We've been using the nickname "Ladybug" for Amelia for quite a while, so it only made sense that she should be one for Halloween!

Of course, an owl would have been appropriate too:

3 months (13 weeks) old already!

It is hard to believe that our little Amelia is already 3 months old! She has been growing and growing, and has gone from being a little on the small side to being in the 75 percentile for length and the 50th percentile for weight! 

She continues to hit her developmental milestones too! Lately she has really started waking up to the world around her. She makes a lot more noise, will play with some of her toys, smiles all of the time now, and will reach out and touch specific things instead of just randomly swinging her arms! She loves looking in mirrors, and she loves the sounds of rattles and music.

She stills sleeps quite a bit, but is spending more of her time awake and alert. She usually takes a big nap in the afternoon, then another in the evening, and then finally goes to bed for real around midnight. Most nights she sleeps until about 6am, ready to eat again before heading off to day care.

 It's just started getting cold here, and you can definitely tell that it is Fall. We usually have to get pants, socks, and a hoodie on before heading out to day care each morning. 

Amelia can hold her head up really well, and should be able to sit up by herself in another month or so! She likes doing tummy time now too!

It has been really great to see her become more and more interested in the things around her. Sometimes she notices something in the room and almost becomes hypnotized by it! 

It's a lot easier to get pictures that aren't blurry when Amelia sleeps! When she is awake she is constantly kicking her legs and swinging her arms! She's definitely active! Just a few more months and she'll be mobile! Uh oh!
