3 months old

Madison turned 3 months last week! I can't believe how fast time is going and how big she is getting (about 13 lbs!) :) She is such a sweet girl. She loves being around people and is very social. She is always smiling and overall just a very happy and content baby! We love her to pieces! I thought I would do a post about her, what she likes and what she is doing now...

Like I said, she is very smiley and photogenic! :) (Though she might turn blind in a few years from constantly seeing a bright red flash in her face! HaHa)

Madison loves to sit up. It's so funny because even if you sit her up on the couch or in her carseat or something, she will still raise her neck up a few inches like she's trying to sit all the way up! She just wants to be a big girl and doesn't want anything behind her head helping her! That is why bumbos are so great! We just bought one about 2 weeks ago and I wish we woulda got it sooner because she does so good in it- she can sit straight up without anything behind her head so it's perfect for her!

Happy girl in her new bumbo!

Madison also loves to stand. She likes to pull up from laying to a standing and sitting position. She has really strong legs and has been able to bear weight on them since she was just a few weeks old! She can stand up by herself already if she is leaning or holding onto something or someone, it's crazy! When she is held up onto someone's shoulders she'll kick her legs until we put our hands or arms under her feet so she can stand on them! She just doesn't like them dangling, it's pretty funny! :)

At first Madison wasn't a big fan of tummy time. She used to not last longer than a few seconds without squirming and fussing, but she seems to like it now. She holds her head up 90 degrees and can raise up on her chest a little. She rolled over from her back to stomach when she was only 16 days old, followed by her stomach to back about a week later! She's hasn't rolled over too much lately but she definitely knows how.

She loves being read to everyday and gets very into books. She pays attention to all the pictures and squeals when she likes a page. :)

She loves to play and be entertained! She likes little finger puppets and loves to "fly!"

She loves to suck on her fingers... actually, her whole fist! She thinks she can fit both of them in her mouth for some reason and gags herself daily!! :) Poor thing!

She loves looking at herself in the mirror! She gets so excited and gets the biggest smile on her face when she sees herself! Guess she thinks she is a pretty darn cute baby! :) (You can't tell very well, but the picture on the right is of us looking into a mirror and her cracking up- that's why it's kind of blurry...)




















I had to add these pics because she is so cute when she sleeps! She loves to take naps with her daddy! She is a very good sleeper at night, but when it comes to daytime she is wide awake! Um what's a nap???!! We sure don't know! :) Guess she just doesn't want to miss out on anything!

And just some random cute ones! :)
