Lucia is 3 Months Old!!!

I can't believe that Lucia is already three months old. Some days it feels like she has always been part of the family and some days she still feels so new to me. She is growing so fast though and weighing in at about 13 pounds. It also feels like she learns something new every day. She has been working on holding her head up and nearly has that trick mastered, as you will see from some of the pictures below. She is also getting better at tummy time but I have to say that must be because she enjoys licking the carpet or whatever blanket she is on. It is so funny to flip her over onto her tummy and watch her smoosh her face against the floor and just go to town on licking whatever is there. She is going to have to start coughing up fuzz balls if she continues this pattern! We are trying to get her to grab at toys too. She hasn't done it yet but she does enjoy swinging them around vigorously once they are placed in her sticky, clammy, baby hands. :) Why are her hands sticky you might ask...it is because she can fit the entire fist into her mouth and does it all the time!

Here are some pictures from the 3-month "birthday". I absolutely love being at home with her. I get excited whenever she wakes up from her nap because I know that I get to play with her. I love our time together and it makes me sad to know that it will go by so fast. I enjoy each new stage that she enters though I do also mourn the loss of my 6lb baby. I feel like I need to soak up every moment that I have with her. I was holding her last night as she fell asleep. I knew that I should put her in her crib rather than letting her fall asleep in my arms, but I couldn't let her go. She is so little and peaceful. I am so thankful that God gave us our little girl. She is a joy for sure! One of my favorite things about Lucia is she seems to know when both Pat and I are present. She gets more excited, talks with more gusto, and squeals. I love seeing our family together!

Lucia holding her head up and loving her new baby chair. The chair allows her to sit on her own. She does fairly well though her head is still a bit of a wobble top.





This is Lucia on her play blanket working on grabbing at her pig toy. She hasn't grabbed at it yet, but she does a nice job swinging it around once you put it in her hands. She also likes to try to eat him.




Here is Lucy enjoying tummy time. It is only enjoyable to her when I let her eat the fuzz off of the blanket.



Lucy is usually really happy when she wakes up from her naps. Here she is being a cheerful girl after her morning nap!



Lucia decided sleeping was a much better option than finishing her bottle
