Enter creative title here....: 3 months old!

Annie Grace is 3 months old!! (about 10 days late....that's how we roll around here)

Let's see...what's new....

- Annie is much more alert, smiley, will follow Lucy all around the room with her eyes

- She found her feet and hands and likes to clasp her hands together as well as try to bend forward to reach her toes

- I went back to work at the end of June (I work two days a week)- she got to go to "school" for the first time and did pretty well. Taking a bottle has taken some getting-used-to, but she's transitioned well. It was a lot easier dropping her off at school on my first day back than it was with Lucy- the same sweet lady who took care of Lucy is now taking care of Annie.

- Annie made her first trip to Waco for Frizzell family birthday day. She slept the entire way there and most of the way back home.

-She also attended Aunt Liz's engagement!! More to come on that momentous evening!

- She's been swimming a couple of times! She loves the water and does great in the pool.

Sleeping:

- she blessed me with a two week stretch of sleeping through the night (down around 8:30 pm, up at 6:00 or 6:30 am). This lovely trend stopped right at 3 months due to a growth spurt, and is slowly going back. Right now, she's getting up once a night, most nights, anywhere between 2:30-5:30 am for a quick feed. On a rare night, she will sleep through the night. She's going to bed between 8:00-8:45 pm most nights. No dream feeding for this girl.

Naps- she takes about 4-5 short naps (30-60 minute naps) a day, about half the days, she'll take a longer afternoon nap (sometimes lasting as long as 3 hours!)

Feeding:

- still nursing every 2-3 hours, sometimes every 1.5 hours

- reflux is tons better on Prevacid!! I will pay the $70 a month for peace and quiet

Other:

- loves her paci when falling asleep or fussy

- does really well with being placed awake in her bassinet and falling asleep on her own most of the time

- we are still sleeping semi-upright in the Fisher Price bassinet. I'm too afraid to start sleeping her in her crib because she sleeps SO WELL in this lovely bassinet!!

- Lucy LOVES her little sister- she will come up to Annie and give her kisses. The other morning she told Annie, "I wub you." So, so sweet! I kind of have to watch Lucy, though, because she doesn't quite get personal space and can be a little over-whelming to little Annie. Sweet girl doesn't know what's coming sometimes with her big sister.

Okay, okay, here's the pics!
