I can't believe it, but my baby girl is 3 months old already today! I honestly feel like she shouldn't be this old yet and wish I could slow time down a bit. Perhaps it was my slower recovery this time in the first few weeks, but it just seems like she should be younger still. But with growing up, comes more fun, interaction, and watching her develop. Jenna goes for her 3 month check-up on Wednesday, so I will find out then how much she weighs and how long she is. I will keep you posted on that... But I think she must be over 12 lbs. now. She sure has been putting on weight quickly! In the last month, I have really noticed that she is getting some chubby cheeks and is looking more like Mommy everyday! I'm glad one of our kids looks like me! Like they say, "A chubby baby is a healthy baby" right?! Jenna is interacting more and more with her environment and is "talking" quite a bit! I love it! We have little conversations and she coos and talks in between my phrases, comments, and questions. So cute!! You know that she gets really excited when her legs and arms get going at the same time! While she is a rather serious baby (just like Colby was), she is beginning to show off some more of her smiles. I wouldn't call her a "smiley baby" just yet, but that will come too, I'm sure. She still enjoys tummy time and is doing quite well with holding her head up. Occasionally, when she goes on her tummy, she rolls to her back though and needs to be returned to her tummy! She still doesn't have much hair, which doesn't surprise me all that much, as Colby didn't have much either until he was over 1 year old. I wonder if it will take that long for her to grow some hair too?? She is sleeping really well and we are very lucky! Jenna has definitely set more of a routine for herself and eats/sleeps about the same times everyday. It's amazing how babies just know to do this (in conjunction with some sleep training too, I suppose!) At night time, she is sleeping about 8 hours, up for a bottle, and then back down for another 3 hours or so. Aah, now if only Colby would sleep in too! LOL! Colby is doing so well with her! He wants to hold her (and does quite well!), give her toys, help with her, give her her "soo-doo" when she's crying, and read stories to her. I love when he reads one of his favorites to her "Go Maisy Go". We are very lucky he is so good with her.
Jenna had her first sleepover with Colby last weekend! The kids went to my parents' house overnight when Gerry and I went to his work Christmas party. Both kids slept pretty well, but it took Jenna a while to settle down for bedtime. I wonder if Grandma and Grandpa were a bit tired the next day! We are so thankful they live so close and are so involved in our lives! We've had a great week getting ready for Christmas! I am so excited to see Colby on Christmas Eve and morning. I truly believe that we see more of the magic of the holidays with little kids around! I think it's going to be a very fun (and busy!) Christmas this year! I'm glad it had warmed up a bit last week... we were able to head out for some walks and play at the playground in the snow, which Colby LOVES!!! Last year, he was just 1 year old, so didn't enjoy the snow too much. We were curious how he would like it this year and he is having a lot of fun in it!! Hopefully we can take him sledding a couple of times when Gerry is home over Christmas.
Anyway, I better get going. Have a wonderful beginning of the week and enjoy the few days left before Christmas!
