just more and more...
How much fun was this week? Well, Thursday was her 3 month birthday! So that was pretty darned exciting! She didn't want a party or anything, so we took it pretty easy. But it was a nice landmark. Funny how it seems like forever, though. It is hard to imagine a time before Midge. And it is very hard to imagine that those odd days in the hospital were just three months ago? It's crazy.
Anyway, the rolling continues... She slowed down for couple of days, but for the last few days it just keeps going! We can't leave her unattended at all, she can (erratically) scoot herself in all sorts of directions by rolling. Though she still can't roll from her tum to her back, which she seems to find a bit frustrating. She is constantly rolling over onto her tum and pushing her butt up in the air with her legs... First she would just lay on her arms, but now she holds one to her side as if she's planning on doing something with it! I know I am probably getting carried away but coupled with how strong her legs are (she spends a good deal of time "standing" with me holding onto her "for balance"), I have visions of her tromping about the place any minute!
It is all so exciting... and with how much more person like she is getting? It's too much! How aware of us and how much easier to entertain her with: reading, singing, standing, rolling, even finally an awareness that toys and such are something! Not up to playing with them by any means, but at least aware of their existence!
Though with all this moving, I did decide to get a cute picture of her napping (however briefly) during the day in her crib...
But the big excitement this week? I was sitting on the couch giving her a bottle (which only happens once or twice a week), which is nice because it is the closest I can get to feeding her but it is also a bit awkward, as it takes one hand to hold her and one to hold the bottle, so it can be very trying for me to even turn the page in a magazine. But it may all change, because tonight she grabbed onto her bottle with both hands and held it! I was actually able to keep a hand free for probably 5-10 minutes! It was totally unexpected! She was just like, "Ok Papa, I'll take that now!" Anyway, that was so exciting that Caitlin took some pictures to prove it!
Really, one of the most fascinating parts of this experience is never knowing what she is going to do next! What clever little trick?
