Eliana is three months old today! The past month has been much easier than the previous month, even though emotionally I've had my ups and downs and I've not felt great physically. Eliana however has been wonderful! She is getting more and more fun each day and is such a joy and a blessing to us.
I took her by the doctor's office today so I could weigh her since she's too big for our kitchen scales now. She's up to 10lbs. 9oz, which is 15% and we measured her at 24 inches, which is 71%. She's gotten some chub on her legs now which is really cute and her arms are actually getting pretty musclely (that's my word for it!). Today when she was sitting on the floor she initiated pulling up to standing while holding on to our hands and you could see her biceps. It was pretty crazy.
She still hasn't turned over again though the past couple of days she's been a lot more active so it may be soon. She can move around a lot when laying on her back if she has something to push off of.
We're still doing a three-hour routine during the day which is still working pretty well. She is staying awake from 1 to 1.5 hours at a time and if we're out she can go longer but then crashes hard for her next nap. She's gotten great during the night and we had four nights in a row of her sleeping until after 6:00, that is with her eating around 10 - 10:30 and then going straight to sleep.
Eliana loves sitting up and looking around when she's awake. She also like to stand in the exercauser with some support from the blanket. She knows it's time to go down for her nap when we take her in the bedroom and lay her down for her swaddle and screams bloody murder but then falls to sleep quite quickly and easily when we lay her down. She only sucks on her pacifier for a couple of minutes and then spits it out.
Her hair is growing back on top really fast and seems like it's going to still be dark. We think her eyes are getting darker and headed towards brown but we'll see. She loves to talk to us and two night ago gave us her first real laugh when Drew tickled her. She's not done it again but it was awesome!
Oh yeah, she loves her hands now and is great at sucking on them, getting drool everywhere and blowing some awesome spit bubbles!
So yeah, she's doing great! We are so thankful for her and just enjoy every day with her. Here are some shots of her with her dog and then a slideshow with all the pictures we took...
