Three months young!
It's hard to believe our little nugget is three months old! This past month she has really started to come alive. She is smiling, almost giggles at times, and cooing a ton. She is able to push up and hold her head with much more control during tummy time (although she has decided it's not her favorite activity and will let us know!) Caroline moves like crazy, and although she hasn't purposefully done it yet, rolling over seems to be coming soon. She is able to hold on to toys put in her hands and she seems like she's almost ready to start reaching for toys. One of the best new developments for mommy is that she is SLEEPING THROUGH NIGHT! She now goes to bed between 7:30 and 8pm, we then feed her at 11pm (trying to do it without waking her) and she will usually sleep until 6:45 or 7am. It's been great to get some consecutive hours of sleep back, especially now that I've been working full-time!
Working full-time continues to be hard, but just because I'm away from my sweet girl all day. I definitely value the time I have with Caroline when I get home and on the weekends. My mom, Caroline's Gigi, has been in town the last three weeks to watch Caroline while I work, which has made working much easier. We were so lucky to have her and sad to see her go!
Next up, we are so proud of Chris and his graduation from Engineering school next week. His family will be in town for the occasion and celebration and they will be staying in town for the holidays (although we will miss his sister Courtney and her family this year.) We have much to celebrate and be thankful for this year!
