3 months

phew! we've survived the first 3 months of having another baby in our home. i feel like we have finally found our new routine and our new normal and im trying to remember what my days were like just 3 short months ago without a nursing and nap schedule.

brooklynn is very much turning into her own little person. its fun to see the differences between her and parker. and boy are they different. just a few bullet points i want to remember.
*still doent cry much. mostly in the evenings, i think she is just tired by that point.
*still spits up like nobody's business. if it was summer and warm she would never wear clothes.
*is getting closer to laughing
*has started this ear piercing shriek 
*has rolled over from her tummy to back a handful of times
*enjoys looking at her toys, and is starting to grab them
*no longer naps in her swing or bouncy seat
*is still swaddled for naps and bedtime
*i think its safe to say her belly button has FINALLY all dried up. seriously took almost 3 months.
*goes down for the night around 9:30ish and has slept as long as till 6am, although it just depends on the night. sometimes she is up at 3, sometimes 4 sometimes 5 but she always eats and goes back to sleep till maybe 8.
*sits in her bumbo more. although it makes her spit up even MORE.
*sucks on her hands
*doesnt care to much for her binky. we give it to her when we put her to sleep, but she will spit it out and is fine to sleep without it.
*has a constant wet shirt from spiiting up. its just not worth it to change her. the second i do she just spits up again.
*still pretty bald, but her hair is starting to come in quite nicely.

let just take a quick look back at how much she has grown

3 days old

1 month old

2 months old

3 months old

crazy how fast they grow and change.

she loves watching parker.

our little diva

parker is always trying to have her play on the "tiny ipad"

i think she looks so different without her headband on.

its been a joy to have this sweet little girl in our home. she is the perfect addition to our family. of course she is a lot of work, but what baby isnt?

and just because this picture is too funny. this is how i found parker asleep one night.
