3 Months Old

Our little Valentine is already three months old and just as sweet as can be! She loves to smile and talk about her day. aka coo! She is her happiest in the morning right after her breakfast. It definitely makes it harder for me to go to work that way!! We get lots of snuggles and kisses in before I have to leave though and cherish those precious days off that we can spend together in our nice warm house. It has been cold and snowy all month so she lives in her jammies and a sleep sack. We went to this outfit in early December because her little hands were always freezing and she seems to stay nice and warm this way. We have tons of cute little outfits (i am especially loving red and pink color combos for her!) that aren't getting as much use as I would like. It is just too DARN cold!! But for special outings and occasions we break out the big bows, cute dresses and shiny shoes for sure!

As far as her eating goes...we are still nursing. I feel like I am getting to a point where I could switch her to formula and be okay with my decision. But after long talks with her daddy "we" have decided to go at least one more month and I am fine with that. She is still sleeping in our room but is rarely waking in the night anymore. Saturday night she slept from 11pm-11am!!! I kept checking to see if she was breathing!! Of course I woke bright and early that day and couldn't go back to sleep-DARN!

This month we have a big challenge ahead. In a few days I will be gone for the whole weekend and she will be staying at home with Daddy (and some help from her grandmas). I know she will be fine...as will I. I just know I will sooo miss her and I am hoping I don't shed too many tears or worry too much while I am gone from her for the first time overnight. (and will be for 2 nights! EEKS!)

She was so cute today!!! I was priceless. I sang Happy Birthday to her in english and spanish and we talked about all her plans for the future...eating french fries, going to the park, riding bikes.... she just smiled away letting me be silly!!! Happy 3 months baby girl! (adler pointed out that this is like her 1 year-since she was in my tummy for 9 months...how smart!)
