3 Months of Kinley

Kinley is 3 months old today!  I can't believe the time has gone so quickly.  Our little girl is such a joy to us.  It's hard to imagine what our lives were like before her.

We haven't been to the doctor, but I know she's growing.  We did an unofficial "weigh in" the other night.  John got on the scale and then held her and we subtracted the difference.  She is around 10 pounds, 4 ounces - still small for her age, but she's growing.

Here is a "snapshot" of Kinley at 3 months:

**  She is still wearing some newborn clothes, but moving into 0-3 month clothes.  All of her newborn sleepers are too short, but everything else that is newborn sized still fits.  Most 0-3 month things are big, but she's slowly growing into them.
**  We are using up the rest of our newborn diapers and moving on to size 1.  Overnight, we use size 1 diapers, because they hold more.
**  She has just started taking about 5 ounces per feeding.  Just this week, we have switched to our "big" bottles.  They seem so huge, but she's outgrowing 4 ounces at a time.
**  For a little over a week, she has been sleeping through the night.  She goes down around 11 or 12 and sleeps until 6 or 7.  It has been nice to start getting more sleep at a time.
**  She loves to sit up and look around.  She has big blue eyes that are so curious all the time.  If she's awake, she does not want to lay back in your arms, she wants to look around.
**  She smiles at us all the time -she definitely recognizes mommy and daddy now, and smiles as soon as she sees us.  It melts my heart every time our eyes meet and a huge grin breaks out!
**  We are getting more baby talk, and some giggles are starting to come out, too.  It is the cutest little sound!
**  She loves to sit in her bumbo and just look around.  She is holding her head up really well for longer and longer periods of time.
**  She is starting to bear weight on her legs.  Standing is a good alternative to sitting when she's looking around.
**  She's still not a huge fan of tummy time, so I don't know that we'll have any rolling over any time soon.  I need to be better about putting her down on her stomach, but she just gets so aggravated.  She does work her legs pretty good, and ends up scooting around when she is on her stomach.

We are so blessed to have such a sweet, happy baby in our lives!  I just love being her mommy!
