3 Months in the Blink of an Eye

Today after Addison was done nursing we were "chatting with each other", making eyes, etc. I said, "Happy 3 month Birthday Addison." to which she stuck out her tongue and blew a raspberry :) She's getting so old so fast!

She's playing with toys now. Grabbing things that interest her. She smiles at anyone who comes close to say Hi and when she's sleepy she does the typical eye rub that a child is known for.

Her favorite toy is her froggy which she stuffs in her mouth or holds out to look at. Gone is my newborn and in it's place is a little one with the beginnings of a wonderful personality.

We call her "Thumper" and "Happy". Thumper comes from the way she kicks in her Bouncy Seat as you can see in this video.

I'm having problems with one area. I don't want to move her into her own bedroom! She takes naps in there and she can sleep through the night, but I can't part with her at night. With Caelen I was a lot more scheduled, and in a hurry to get her in her own room. I guess I proved to myself that my child would indeed grow up and amaze me, so now with Addison I'm not in such a hurry to prove any such thing. I know it happens althogether too fast and for some reason think that if I keep her in her bassinette by my bed she won't ever grow up. Like it's a magic bassinette. Thomas at first was teasing me that she'd be 18 months and I'd still be stuffing her into the bassinette. Now he's saying that I'm not going to be able to move her into her own room until we have a third to take her place in there.

There are alot of things you don't understand until you're a parent, until you're actually experiencing it. Like how you try to push your first to do every new thing and then turn around and try to keep your second one a baby forever.
