Paul and Sara: 3 Months Old!

Audrey will be 3 months old on Tuesday. I'm writing this a little early because the downside of her being 3 months old is that my maternity leave has come to an end and I return to work on Monday. I anticipate having no energy this week so I won't be doing any blogging.

Audrey is still a wonderful baby. She brings us so much joy. Being a mom is the best thing in the world, Truly... Monday is going to be a rough day. In 3 months, I have not been apart from her for more than 3 hours. So yeah, I'm dreading this week. She did a trial run at daycare on Friday. My worries/anxiety were lessened some and she did well with the teachers. She napped, played, and took a bottle while she was there for 2 hours. She did great... and I did okay... although after 2 hours I was READY to go pick her up. So, here's what 3 months looks like...

Unofficial Stats:
Weight: 11 lbs 9 oz
Height: 23 inches
Wearing size 1 diapers, but moving to size 2 this week. Wearing 6 month clothes and still some 0 to 3. Although I am packing away more and more every week. Sigh.

Things for me to remember: (skip to the bottom if you just want to see pics :) )

Audrey is now reaching for toys and bringing them towards her mouth. She also can help hold the paci in her mouth.
She loves her play gym and gets really excited and flaps her arms and legs. It's her little dance.
She makes eye contact all the time. She definitely knows who Mom and Dad are.
She squeals, squeaks, and coos a lot. She smiles all the time! Except when I try to take a picture or video... she stops and just stares at it... haha. Her favorite is to have a conversation where I talk and she coos and smiles. Best part of the day.
She eats every 2 hours during the day, plays for about 45 minutes, naps for 30-45 minutes and then repeats.
She loves to sit on our laps or in her Bumbo. She can stay in her Bumbo for over 10 min.
She can bear weight on her legs and stand with us supporting her upper body for about a minute.
She props up on her elbows during tummy time and is getting very close to rolling.
She's not a big fan of her car seat and still cries in the car (unless someone sits back there with her), but does great in her Bjorn in stores and in restaurants.
She loves being outside... we go out a lot to walk, sit in the rocking chairs, or play on the ground.
She sleeps 10-11 hours at night. She often sleeps this long uninterrupted, but sometimes wakes up once to eat. We still swaddle her.
