Precious Moments

The other day you, Daddy and I were out and about. It was nap time and you just wouldn't go to sleep.
You grabbed my hand and fell right asleep. I guess all you needed to know was that Mommy was there.
Love you to pieces baby girl!


I caught some Smiles!





Its not all smiles though...sometimes you give me looks like this....


New BFF

On August 13, 2013 you made a new best friend. Mommy's bestest cousin Arianne gave birth to Melia.
I cannot wait for you to grow up with her and all the play dates that are going to happen. Arianne and I have already started talking about putting you two in mommy and me swimming lessons once Melia is 4 months old...oh what fun you two will have! 




Nana & PaPa's Wedding!

You did such a great job at the wedding!! You were calm and smiley in the wagon and barely made a peep . Near the end of the night you had enough and were asleep in my arms. I enjoyed holding you looking out at the beautiful sights of Whistler. Good job hunny!



So Many Firsts!

As I am writing this you are sound asleep in the next room. I was thinking how much I love it when you are in a cuddle mood. Your eyes are always so big and full of wonder about the world around you but those moments when you cozy up to momma are truly the most treasured.

Over the last couple of days you have had a few "firsts". You, Momma, Grandpa and Grandma went to the park and swimming. You LOVED the swing and were not sure about the water at first but never cried. Near the end we got smiles out of you as you swam belly down in your uncles pool. Daddy couldnt be there because he was working on the car. You are going to be the ring bearer at your Nana and Papa's wedding this weekend in Whistler so he wanted to make sure the cart was tip top shape!





You are going to look so cute in your dress pulled in a wagon by your cousin Jayde! I cant wait to get pictures!

Favorite Photos of You




Life So Far

Determined to watch TV
Sleeping soundly swaddled in your swing with your white noise
First feeding by Daddy!

A little bit about you and life so far:

Your likes from Birth to now at Three Months Old:

Being swaddled
Your tommee tippee soothers - or as mommy calls them "your susu"
Your swing. You fall asleep in it every morning.
White noise
Being bounced on a exercise ball
Bright lights including lamps and the TV...from an early age you would contort yourself to get a good look at the TV.
Eating
Being sang to

Your dislikes:

Teething - you started that early thanks to your daddy!
Being sat down with...you always like being on the move. No one could dare sit down with you!
Tummy time. You will last literaly only a few mins before screaming.

You could care less about:

Molly
You were not a fan of daddy at first but you are coming around...he just gave you your first bottle yesterday so now he is in your good books I think!
Being read to

Your Nicknames:

Baby Beluga
Baby Burrito
Pretty Princess
Grandpa calls you his "luv muffin"

Life so far is pretty hectic but it is settling down. You certainly keep us guessing though! Right now you pretty much wake up between 7-8 and eat. You play a little for an hour or so after that then fall asleep in your swing with the white noise and spa channel playing. You wake up about 2 hours later and play and then eat again around noon. Depending on the day after that we might go to baby class in Mission, go to grandma and grandpas for a couple hours in Abbotsford or Papa might come take you on a walk. Daddy would be home shortly after that and you would eat again at about 4PM and play some more...maybe watch some veggies tales. Mommy would make dinner for daddy and they would eat and you would sleep until you eat again at about 8:30PMish. You would hang out with daddy for a bit to give mommy a break to shower or clean and then we would all head to bed where you would usually sleep through the night and wake up a hungry munchkin the next morning.

The doctor has been impressed with your growth and tells mommy to keep up the good work.

Sometimes Mommy and Daddy feel sad because you cry and we dont know why. You are usually a VERY happy baby. We have narrowed it down to tummy troubles - you toot a LOT like Daddy - or teething.

Mommy's worst moments with you were when you wouldnt eat the day after we left the hospital, your shots and just the other night when you were screaming in pain from teething. I sent Daddy out to get some medicine for you and you calmed down pretty fast after that.

Mommy's best moments with you are in the mornings. After your morning meal you are as happy as you can be smiling and babbling and just generally enjoying yourself. I love to see you happy.
