3 Months!!

I can't believe that Macyn is going to be 3 months on Saturday! Time is flying so quickly and she is getting so big! She is developing at such a fast pace. She loves to stand and exercise her pudgy little legs, she has great neck control, I can hold her without much support for her neck, though sometimes she is a bit wobbly. She is talking a lot more now. She has mastered her "aahs" and is now working on her consonants. She is working on her g's. She is reaching for some things though she still likes her mommy to shake her toys in front of her face but she can lay on her mat for 10-15 minutes and entertain herself. She loves to imitate certain faces and sounds that I make. When I smile, she smiles, when I stick out my tongue, she will too and when I make a throat clearing sound, she tries to make the same noise.
As you can see in some of these pictures we are trying to work with her and trying to have her sit up on her own but she always leans to the side. She can sit up straight for about 5 seconds and then "TIMBER........."

She is really starting to get used to having hands. She constantly brings them to her mouth to suck on and eat. She is definitely going to be a thumb sucker--she just has to find it first. For now, she just sucks on her forefinger and sometimes the whole fist! She is bringing her hands together in front of her which is good but she still holds them in such tight little fists. I have to open them all the time!

Tummy time is a constant battle for us. She will lay on her tummy for a few seconds and then get totally bored and start wailing! She likes to lay on pillows but she hates the ground. Her neck is getting stronger and she can lift it for longer periods of time, but she can't lift herself off the ground with her arms yet, we're working on it!

As you can see she still has a full head of hair and its still growing. It gets thicker every day. Pretty soon I will be able to put it in a pony tail! Right now it kind of looks like a baby mullet but a very cute baby mullet!

Baby Giggles

We finally heard our little baby giggle! I was getting ready last night for a Christmas party and I had my hair wrapped up in a towel. Dax walked in with her and I said "Hi little baby!" and she started giggling! Oh my goodness, it was the sweetest sound I've ever heard. Dax walked out of the room and we tried it again and we got another giggle. We kept trying it over and over again and eventually she didn't find it funny anymore! I can't wait to find out what will make her laugh next. I wish I could've caught her laugh on camera it was soooooo sweet!!!

Mommy and Macyn

It was picture time again! This time mommy decided to come from behind the camera and take some pictures of herself!! It took about 50 attempts to get these 4 pictures. The rest were blurry or both of us were cut out of the shot. Macyn is so photogenic, she had more pictures with good faces but mommy's one-handed photography skills aren't great!

Touching, Grabbing, and Hitting...trust me, it's a good thing!

We have been focusing on teaching Macyn how to reach out and use those little chubby hands! Thanks to a new activity play mat from Grammy and Grampa she has some toys hanging that she really enjoys looking at but now she is starting to reach out and touch them and hit them. Recently, she actually started to grab them!!! Here are a few pics of her grabbing Gerry the Giraffe's foot. She's so funny, she will hang on to it for a few minutes, give him a shake or two and then let go. Then she wonders why he's not making anymore noise! Soon we're going to work on holding other objects like her little noisemakers!!

Cute pics of my little Macyn!

Macyn was being so photogenic today and I had to post all of the pics. I was only going to post one picture of the two of us but I just couldn't pic my favorite one! Although I look a mess in all of them, she is making the cutest faces. I had to put them all up!!!
Here is she sticking out her little tongue!! I don't know why, she always does this!

This is one of my favorites of our pics. Her face is priceless!!!
