3 Months Old

Maggie is 3 months old! Time is really flying! It's crazy how much she learns each month and how fast she is growing. I am so happy that she is a healthy little girl :)

This month we could tell that her neck muscles have been getting stronger and stronger. She holds her head up all on her own and can sit up (assisted of course) really well. She has been moving her head towards noises and voices for awhile now, but this month she really has seemed distracted by them. Feeding her sometimes becomes a challenged because all she wants to do is move her head all around towards the different noises.

Another neat thing is that she has been starting to grab at objects. It started out as just batting at things with her hands, but by the end of the month she was grabbing and holding onto things. She's actually started to play with toys instead of Marcus and me jiggling them in front of her.

She has really found her voice, too. She now squeals when she gets really excited. It might be the cutest noise I've ever heard.  Her smile is getting bigger and we just love singing to her. We haven't heard a laugh yet, but we know it'll happen soon!

We try to get her on her tummy for at least 10-15 minutes per day. She doesn't seem too interested in rolling over yet, but she's been pulling her legs towards her chest...learning the basics for crawling!

This month she is still in 0-3 month clothing and size 1 diapers. She has still done really well with sleeping through the night. She is starting to go longer in between feedings...anywhere from 2-4 hours of 3-5oz bottles.
