Lila: 3 Months

Lila is 3 months now. She's definitely not a little newborn anymore. She's growing and learning so much every day.

3 MONTHS:

• Lila loves sucking on her fingers. Especially her PINKY finger. I think it's just the right size for her little mouth.

• Lila has found her "voice" over the past couple days. She's quite the chatterbox. She's been doing a lot of cooing and squealing. We'll coo and make her little sounds back at her and she'll have a little conversation with us. It's our favorite thing!

• She is definitely a morning person. She is an EARLY riser. She'll usually wake-up for the day between 5:30 and 6:30. Sometimes we'll get her to go back to sleep, but most of the time she's just awake and happy as a clam. I'll go and get her out of her crib in the morning and she will give me the biggest smiles and squeals. Mom and Dad are still half asleep, but Lila is one happy babe.

• She's started grabbing and playing with toys. She loves her plastic keys and will shake those around. 

• Lila loves her little activity play mat. It has jungle animals hanging down from it and she likes hitting them and grabbing them and watching them swing around.

• She likes to look in the mirror and smile at herself. 

• Lila went "swimming" for the first time. I don't think she quite knows what to think. She doesn't cry, but just kind of sits there with a concerned look on her face wondering what we're doing to her!

• Lila started sitting in her Bumbo. She likes sitting and standing on our laps and looking around the room.

• She makes the funniest faces. I think she might be an actress someday. This girl can display so many emotions in a matter of seconds. I never know what I'm going to get when I start taking pictures of her.

 Here are some of our favorite pictures from the last month...

Love that happy smile

Another selfie, but I couldn't resist! Her face is priceless.

Not really enjoying it though...

I think those big blue eyes are here to stay. 

Trying to fit both her hands in her mouth at the same time
