3 Months

I feel like I've been a bit of a Negative Nancy on this blog. Which is weird because I'm usually very optimistic. I guess this whole breastfeeding thing has just consumed me and I feel this is the best outlet for my thoughts. Although, my family and friends would probably argue they've had to hear all about it too.

So, in honor of Ellis Rose's 3-month birthday, I wanted to do a quick happy update. Here's what she's been in up to in the 3 months since her birth:

1) She's been babbling. The squeeks she made when she was a newborn have long since been replaced by "ooh" and "aargh" and "rawr" and an occasional "yeowya"

2) She rolled over! One day she just rolled from her tummy to her back. Twice. In a row. The next day, she rolled over from her back to her tummy. I'm thinking of attaching Swiffer sheets so she can clean our wood floors.

3) She watches the cats now and she's incredibly interested in them. She'll even lean forward so she can get a better look.

4) She sits! Well, she sits in the Bumbo but is still a step forward.

5) She's obsessed with her hands. She's constantly sucking on them, licking them, biting them, practically gagging herself with them. All of this means she has less fuzz in-between her fingers, which means I have less to pick out when I'm nursing her.

6) She has seen her feet but she still doesn't know they are attached to her body. But she likes to watch them move and seems enthralled by them at times.

All in all, I'm amazed at the changes she's undergone in 3 months. I'll do this again in 3 months when she is 6 months old and writing her memoirs. Until then, I'll leave you with this little video clip.
