3 Months

Here are some things about my 3 month old baby girl.  She's just over 12 lbs, and 24 inches long.  That puts her in about the 30th percentile for both height and weight.  She's a little girl.

She recently learned to roll over and that's all she wants to do--all the time!  She even rolls in her crib.  Nap time and bed time have been especially difficult because of it.  But she loves it.  In fact she squeals in excitement whenever she is on her tummy.  She loves sitting and standing (all with my help of course).  She is well on her way to crawling, I'm sure.  She has a high pitch scream/squeak that she does whenever she's excited.  Incidentally, she also does the high pitch scream whenever she's starting to get mad.  Whenever she gets excited her eyes will get big and she'll kick her legs a lot.  She gets excited a lot.  She's currently fascinated by EVERYTHING.  Feeding her during the day is not so easy, because she is distracted by anything and everything.  Consequently, she wakes up more at night to eat since she hasn't eaten as much during the day.  Oh well.

Liliana has also learned to take the pacifier out of her mouth and put it back in.  She doesn't get it in every time, but she gets it in most times.  She loves playing with things and putting them in her mouth.  I like to give her all sorts of different items to hold and touch and put in her mouth.  (Nothing crazy).  Just like different toys, water bottles, anything that I'm using while she's around.  I want her to feel different shapes and textures.

She smiles all the time, at just about anyone.  She even smiled at the doctor right before she got her shots.  Liliana doesn't really cry (knock on wood) unless she really needs something.  (Maybe all babies do that.)

We (mostly me) sing very silly songs to her all the time.  Mostly I make them up on the spot.  I think she likes them.

Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better baby!
