3 Months Old!

Kaylin is 3 months old today! I know I probably said this last month too, but I really can't believe how quickly she is growing and changing! She's outgrown her newborn clothes and I cried as I packed them away yesterday. She's becoming more active - flailing her arms and legs all around and reaching for objects. She's becoming vocal - "agoo" is her favorite thing to say. Billy and I are in a competition for which name she says first - mama or dada. ;) She focuses on us and will watch when we walk away from her. She also likes to watch the morning news from her cradle while I'm getting ready for work - although I assume she just likes the colors. (I pray she doesn't inherit her Daddy's ability to watch TV hours on end!) I'm still breastfeeding her, and I'm really proud that I've stuck with it when it would have been so much easier to give her formula when I started back to work. (pumping 5 times a day, not getting a lunch hour because that time is split up for pumping breaks, lots of bottles to wash and pump parts to clean, toting the pump to and from work, etc.) I feel good that I'm giving her the healthiest thing possible. I so enjoy the weekends when I just nurse her and don't have to worry about bottles or pumping!

We took our 3 month picture in the chair with the bear today. Here are months 1-3 to compare:

Over the weekend we went to visit Grandma and the Sells. Kaylin was wide awake for most of the visit and the kids enjoyed passing her around - even little Jack wanted to hold the baby. It was really sweet. It was great to see everyone and the fried chicken was fantastic as usual!

  1. "Agla" is Savannah's favorite word! So funny that the "ag" is a baby fave. =)
