She Rolled Over!

Yay! I was so worried that it would never happen, and she did it. Of course it was from her tummy to her back, but she did it. Matt and I both got to see it! Woo hoo! I was just about in tears, she was crying because she hates tummy time. I am just so happy!

3 months old!!

Life is great. I can't believe that three months ago Charlie arrived. She is a different baby. Matt and I are really good parents. It just seems natural. Of course I am sure we are completely messing her up. I am just following her lead, she needs to be changed, I change her. She is hungry, I feed her. She is sleepy, I put her to bed. She sleeps with us, we like it and she sleeps well. She rarely goes more than a few minutes with out hands on her. She did sit in her swing for about 10 minutes today, which I think is a record.

Here is what is going on:
She smiles all the time.
Lots of arm and leg movement.
Can sit up with little assistance, (she is super strong)
Sleeps 5-7 hours at a time most of the time
Makes lots of eye contact and coo's a bunch
Can take or leave her pacifier
Hates tummy time now.. HATES IT!
Loves her daddy
Still short but has nice chunky thighs
We are about to pack away the 0-3's since she doesn't fit in a lot of them
Sleeps best on her side

Charlie finally fell asleep, knock on wood. I am not sure what is going on with her, but she she pooped like 14 times since 10am. The good news is that her digestive system is working well. Also, she has not slept for more than an hour since 8:00 am. Ton's of little cat naps, but not real sleep. She is in a fairly good mood, smiling more than crying or frowning. She just hasn't slept much. I am so in love with her I can't stand it. She is getting so big, I am about to pack away her 0-3, sniffle. I can't wait to have another baby, I am so spoiled with a sweet, laid back, baby. Of course, I never put her down and I don't let her cry. She is really easy to soothe, so I do it. The first two months were much easier than the last few weeks. The things that were sure to calm her, boob, snuggles, paci, rocking, diaper changes, don't work as much or as quickly as they use to. However, she is no where near as difficult as some little ones I have seen.

My only worries are that she doesn't like tummy time so I just do it a few minutes a day, a couple of times a day. Also, she is still not really interested in her toys, but she LOVES fanny (ceiling fan) and the TV. She still won't really sit in her swing or her bouncer. She is fine in her car seat and falls asleep on the road, so I would have thought she would have loved her bouncer because of the vibration... Oh well. I already miss work, but I love being home with her and wouldn't change it, even if I could. She is sleeping on my chest right now and I loving feeling her breathe.
