Our precious baby turned THREE MONTHS OLD on March 10th. I simply can't believe it. The past three months have felt like a whirlwind. They have been filled with long nights, incessant worrying (ya'll know me!), kisses, snuggles, and many, many priceless memories.
It is amazing how much Margo has grown in these three short months. Her personality is really starting to shine! Our girl certainly knows what she likes and doesn't like. Her smile can melt your heart! I love to listen to hear "coo" and "ahh" at her toys. The three month mark brought about many changes for Miss Priss- the biggest being Mommy going back to work and her starting "school." But this is our new normal and we are adjusting quite nicely. Being away from her for nine hours a day only makes me appreciate my time with her that much more!
At 3 months Margo:
*Weighs 14lbs.
*Is wearing 3-6m clothing
*Has started reaching for her toys on her play gym.
*Will hold her hands up and look at them and clasp them together (we call this her praying hands!).
*Can really kick her legs. She has started to love her kick and play piano! This also makes it hard to change her clothes/diaper when she is in a "mood!" ;)
*Has become more fond of her bouncy seat and swing. She will actually sit and let Mommy and Daddy eat together rather than in "shifts."
*Her favorite book is
Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton (a Valentine's Day gift from Daddy!).
*Can
occasionally roll half way over onto her side.
*Loves to be rocked to sleep.
*Still loves to be swaddled (although she tries to break out of the swaddle nightly!).
*Has started waking up more often during the night since starting daycare. Her new sleep schedule goes something like this: 9pm bedtime, awake between 12 and 1am and then awake again between 5 and 6am. She isn't eating as much as I would like at daycare and I think she is making up for it during the night! We will probably start an earlier bedtime soon. I don't want to because it will take away from the time I get to spend with her... but... I understand that sleep is very important for her development.
*Can knock you dead in your tracks with her precious smile!
*Just developed her first little cold this week. Prayers requested that she is feeling better soon!
Jeremy and I were just talking about how we learn something new each week when it comes to taking care of our girl! When we first brought Margo home, I was afraid to put her down, much less leave her in her crib to take a nap. Each day we grow a little more confident in our abilities to raise a little human. The past three months have been full of growth for our little family. We are excited about the upcoming months and the new memories that we will make with our daughter!
Enjoy some of our favorite memories of Margo's THIRD month!!!

In other news, Margo had her first cold and ear infection this past week. Luckily, we caught the ear infection early. The dr. prescribed amoxicillin to treat it. We call it her bubblegum meds. Jeremy and I both remember taking this when we were little! I could not stand to hear my little love bug congested and coughing. She seems to be on the mend. Praise!! :)
