3 months old

This mama is way behind on blogging. With a baby it seems that she is learning something new and changing everyday. She is almost 16 weeks! We can't believe it. At her 10 week dr visit she weighed 9lbs 13 oz and was 23 inches long, long and lean (like her daddy)! At 3 months she has began holding a rattle, sleeping 8-11 hours at night, laughing out loud (its the cutest squeal you've ever heard), and rolling over from tummy to back just on her right side (does that mean she will be right-handed?). She wakes up happy and cooing, rarely cries except for the regular baby stuff (burp, tummy ache, hungry or tired) and is about 95% smiles! She has started to notice the dog more, wiggles like crazy and laughs when mommy walks by her if she is in the bumbo or bouncer, loves to sit in her bumbo and is using those neck muscles a lot. Its so funny because I will have had her in the bumbo for a while so I put her in the bouncer to give her neck muscles a break but she wont relax. She'll try to sit up in the bouncer, its so funny! She is still wearing most of her newborn clothes. She loves when daddy comes home from work, is beginning to tolerate story time, hates tummy time. She sleeps and eats like a champ. She loves to cuddle and puts up with the multiple wardrobe changes everyday b/c of spit-up, barf, or poopey. The other great news is that her hips are healed which means no more brace! We are so happy that this is behind us. She is such a calm, happy little girl. We just can't get enough of this sweetheart! Life with Eliza is so much fun!








In April we also celebrated Colin's birthday. The day before his birthday we went out to dinner with his family at Red Robin's. On his birthday I made him biscuits and gravy for dinner (per Colin's request) and pavlova for dessert (I'd never had it before but Colin loves it, its actually really good). Later that night I had to work so Colin hung out with Eliza and his twin brother watching the Jazz game and eating nachos. That Sunday we had another birthday dinner at my dad's with the Atkin family. I made another pavlova per Colin's request.

she looks so much like Colin in this picture
