Our Baby Anna is 3 months old already! She has been such a wonderful addition to our family and we all love her more and more each day.
A few fun facts:
- Anna is big and beautiful as ever! She is so long that she looks a few months older than she is.
- Anna is still a great sleeper at night. We are working our way into a daily schedule slowly but surely.
- She still HATES to be in her car seat. She throws a fit when we put her in and if you are not giving her your undivided attention while she is in there she will fuss.
- She is all smiles these days and does a lot of babbling. Allie and AJ love to hear her "talk" and they get so excited when they are the one to make her smile.
- Anna is super strong. She loves to pull herself up into a standing position and loves to practice her standing skills. She is always kicking and pushing off of everything.
- Lately, Anna loves to play with her swaddling blanket. She is not really interested in toys yet, but she loves to grab onto her blanket and put it in her mouth or on her face.
- She is totally obsessed with her hands, which I know is normal for 3 months, but really she is obsessed. She is starting to suck her fingers, not the thumb yet, but all the other fingers. It is cute. When I lay her down for naps she will wiggle her hands out of the blanket and squeal with excitement then usually falls asleep with one or both hands right at her mouth.
- She still has a ton of hair! I am just so surprised she hasn't lost much yet and it just keeps getting longer. I think she is even getting a little mullet in the back.
- Her eyes are so big and gorgeous. All day long she is so alert and looking all over the place, with wide eyes just taking it all in. She even has curly lashes which I am so jealous of.
- She is turning out to be pretty brown. In the beginning I thought she might be more fair skinned, but now I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out as dark or darker than AJ. Lucky kids!
- She still does not want anything to do with a bottle or pacifier.
- Anna has a few nicknames already: Baby Anna, Anna Banana, and Allie calls her "Little Fella".
As for Allie and AJ, they will be turning 3 soon. They are so excited for Halloween, their birthday and Christmas that they kind of mix it all up. This year AJ wants a big truck, race car, monster truck party and Allie wants a "Belle for my birthday Christmas party".However, all of a sudden yesterday, AJ talked her into a pink monster truck party and he decided he wants a brown monster truck. They are too funny. I guess we will see. I told them I could make a monster truck cake with a princess in the truck and they both said, "NOOOOO" like it was the most ridiculous thing they had heard.
For Halloween they are going to be a cowboy and a cowgirl. We got them each a pair of boots, which they love. They want to wear them all the time, but daddy is making them keep the boots nice until after Halloween. My mom is going to make their costumes...I am excited that they are excited because last year they were kind of scared to dress up.
Last night I gave them a bubble bath and I was asking them about their birthdays. This led into them saying celebration, which led into them throwing bubbles at each other saying, "You look like a celebration", which led to them to saying things like, "You look like a clown" and "You look like a pirate" and pretty much what ever came into their minds. Soon they were literally smacking each other in the face saying the craziest stuff and laughing hysterically. I probably should have stopped them, but it was so funny to see them laugh that hard. By the time bath time was over they had water everywhere, but it was worth it to hear their laughter.
I could go on and on about these two. They are getting so big and so so smart! I am amazed everyday at how much can happen in 3 short years!
