Our baby girl is a quarter of a year old today! I don't know where the time has gone.
She must be confused about the whole "birthday" concept, though, because she gave us a present today (instead of vice-versa).... Ellie slept for 9.5 hours straight last night!
I heard her fussing at 5 a.m., which was still after an impressive 8 hour stretch. But by the time I got into her room she was sucking on her thumb with her eyes closed. I laid down on the futon in her room, thinking she would be awake again in a few minutes. But the next time I heard her cry was at 6:30 a.m. Amazing!
I saw on a friend's baby blog a list of 10 accomplishments by month, so I'm going to start doing that for Ellie. Here's what she's up to at month 3:
1. Smiles when she sees mom or dad!
2. "Talking" or cooing, especially during bath time.
3. Stands up like a big girl on our laps, when we're holding her sides or arms...
4. Holds her head up high when we put her down for tummy time.
5. Keeps toys in her hand for a short while after we get her to grab onto them.
6. Entertains herself for short bursts of time.
7. Painting! (with some help from the day care staff)
8. Sucking her thumb or on a pacifier.
9. Watching everything. Her favorites are ceiling fans and her mobile at school.
10. Making mom and dad happier than they ever thought possible!!
