Growing up is hard to do....for mom.

It is so hard for me to see my little girl grow up. I enjoy every day of it, but it is hard when we graduate to a new stage. Seriously, I considered blogging about the last number 1 diapers a few weeks ago. It was so sad to know that my little sweet pea is now on the the next stage in diapers. She is also now no longer sleeping in our room, but in her crib in her room. She seems perfectly fine with it, but both Jess and I were torn to "graduate" her to the next step. But I have heard it is easier to move them to their room sooner than later. I have heard that if you wait too long, and they realize it is a new room, it can turn to tears. And we don't want that. We also took out the infant head support in the car seat, she is starting to wear 6 months outfits and slowly putting away the 3 month outfits. All this having been said, she is completely unfazed. It is mom who struggles with each step. Just wait till I have to put my little girl in school!!

Silly Rabbit- 3 months old

SB had her 3 month old appointment and she was 13 lbs 3 oz, the doctor said she was at 75 % of other kids her age and she was 25 1/2 inches long and that is 110% of others her age. She is long! And is already starting to wear 6 month outfits! Happy Easter!

Go Cubs Go!

Seeing how it is the Cubs first game today. I thought this photo would be fitting! Go Cubs Go! And wouldn't you know it Jess is watching the Yankees game! Oh, well. We will catch plenty of Cubs games this season, you can count on it! With a dog named Wrigley (aka Cubs field), Savannah will be a Cubs fan. She is already a Wrigley fan!

First Dress photo & SB having fun!

First Day of Spring

On the first day of spring, Wrigley, SB and I headed out for a walk around the neighborhood. It looked like a beautiful day and the temp said 45 degrees and the sun felt warm. What I could not tell was that it was very windy and it actually felt like 33 degrees!! She was bundled up tight, blocked by the wind and actually fell asleep on the walk. So much for the first day of spring! It was cold!

All Smiles!

SB smiles with her whole body. What you cannot see in the photo is her arms and legs waiving and kicking. It is just adorable to watch her get excited. She is also becoming quite the little talker. When I get the chance, I will record her talking sometime. It is hard to get her to keep her smiles. When I put the camera up, all of sudden she stops smiling and looks curiously at the camera. I have to really keep her attention.

She has recently started gripping rattles and other toys. She has also really started seeing a lot more things. She will watch as things move in front of her. She has started to look at toys that hang in front of her with a lot more curiosity. She had noticed them before, but I think she is actually starting to see more colors and detail.

Sleeping in the pack n play

Many of you will be thinking, so what a baby in a pack in play. This one goes out to the grandparents. And for whoever enjoys watching baby videos. As you can see by the video, she is very active in her pack in play. There have been times I put her down laying one direction and come back and she has done a 90 degree turn. Often times I have asked Jess, "did you move the baby?"

ZZZZZZZZ: She is still sleeping through the night! Yeah! Our doctor said that it is pretty early for a new baby that is nursing. I always knew she would be a good sleeper, but I followed the book "Becoming Babywise" and just as they said she should be sleeping through the night by 8 weeks of age. Sure enough, they were right!! Thank you Babywise! And Thank you Stephanie for telling me about it!
