Happy 3 months to my Mariah Rose. She has changed so much over the last few weeks, but is still just as sweet as ever.
She fits well in her 3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.
Her schedule has become pretty consistent and predictable which makes our days and nights a lot easier! She generally goes down for the night around 9 or 10 pm, wakes up for a little snack around 2-4 am, then goes back down until about 8 am. She is wonder baby. When she wakes up in the morning she rarely cries; she is usually looking around wide-eyed. The best mornings are when I look down to find her already smiling to herself. When I pick her up and unleash her arms from her swaddle blanket she does big stretches and gets excited to tell me all about her baby dreams.
She has discovered her hands and is slowly figuring out that they are indeed attached to her. She has also discovered her voice and is talking and singing more and more every day. Never thought I would get so excited to talk to a baby :)
Mariah likes:
Pacifiers!! What a life saver.
Her swing! Another big change, and another huge help.
Riding around in the sling so she can see out
People smiling and talking to her.
Baths. She even loves water being poured over her hair and face.
Car rides, as long as the car is moving.
Travel. Now that she's been on a handful of successful plane trips I think we can say this is an interest of hers.
Sucking on anything she can get near her face.
The sound of her own voice.
Her hands.
Nursing. Every 2-3 hours.
Standing while being held.
Space heater. A girl after my own heart.
Mariah does not like:
Loud sneezes.
When one of her socks falls off.
Car rides, when the car is at a stop light.
Grocery shopping. This still stresses me out.

Some pictures from the last month:
If you got our Christmas card and wondered if our baby has club foot...don't worry it's just her sock coming off.
Pacifier to the rescue!
Usually I try not to post pictures that would embarrass her in the future, but this one is too good not to share. Sumo Baby!!
And of course she still likes naps with her dad.
Great update on the life and times of Mariah. :) Thanks for all the pics, too!
