The Mayer Family: 3 months

Its hard for me to believe that Lilly is already 3 months old. But she sure is getting bigger everyday. She is sleeping pretty well at this point. I usually only get up once in the night to feed her, sometimes twice. But she always goes right back to sleep. She eats really well, about every four hours. She is even starting to grow out of some of her 3 mo. clothing.

She still hates tummy time. If she does tolerate it, it is only for about 5 minutes then she will start screaming and then crying. And then sometimes she will just go to sleep.

She really loves sucking on her hands. She has become quite adept at sticking her fists or fingers in her mouth, sometime while her binky is still in as well. Sometimes she'll even gag herself with her fingers. If she has one of your fingers in her hand she will even try to bring that to her mouth to suck on.

She also has learned how to use her voice. Sometimes she will be in her crib or on the floor while I am doing something and just start screeching. Once you come back over to her she stops. She even tries to talk with her hands in her mouth sometimes. Its really funny because she sounds like she is saying "gluck gluck gluck". I have yet to be able to capture this on film though.

She has also starting grabbing at her knees. So sometimes that means she'll lift up her dress or pull up her pant legs. She has also noticed her feet and I can tell she wants to grab them but she can't quite reach yet.

Lilly also loves to arch her back. I'm not really sure what she is trying to do but sometimes she does it to look at the tv. I will have her on the floor facing me and she will arch her back until she can see the tv. Apparently she is already hooked.

Lilly has also started drooling and blowing raspberries. Sometimes they can get pretty big. And just look at those chubby cheeks. So cute.

Lilly still loves it when you stick out your tongue and wiggle it at her. She gives me the biggest smiles now but refuses to get them captured on camera. Once you pull the camera out now she becomes all serious and will just stare at it. So smiles on camera on now few and far between. This is the closest thing to a smile we've gotten in a while.

She still has fuzzy monkey toes all the time too. Anything that comes in contact with those toes will cause her to curl up her toes. So when she is in her pjs she comes out with the fuzziest toes. And it is very hard to remove the fuzz since when you try, the toes just curl back up.

She also just loves flying. If she is crying or upset, you can just lift her into the air and she will stop crying and just start looking around at everything. She even gave Ryan a smile when he was over while she was flying. (And normally she doesn't smile at anyone but me or Christian)
