Has it really been 3 months already?! Time flies when you are having fun! This month has been a blast. Alethea has developed quite the personality and we are enjoying every second we get to spend with her. She has begun to realize just how fun it is to vocalize. Lately she has a ton to say and we are loving this, especially since she doesn’t tend to scream as much to let us know she is upset, but instead just changes the tone of her babble. Our ears are thanking her for that! Praise God her gas has finally seemed to settle down and hopefully dairy eating is in the near future more me again.
Big changes have happened this month. She has officially learned to roll over on purpose when has been fun to see her work at and we are so thankful that Daddy has finally been able to see her do it. She has begun sleeping amazing. Most nights she goes to sleep between 8:30 and 9pm and sleeps until 5 or 6am, gets up and eats and then goes back to sleep until 8:30 or 9am. Even some nights she will sleep in until 8 or 8:30 without waking up at all. She is developing into quite the sleeper. Yay!
My sleeping cutie!
This month has also marked changes in our ability to go out and about. She is becoming more of a fan of her carseat the older she gets and the more she has been able to entertain herself. Her discovery of how yummy her hands are and as well as her frog blanket have been our salvation in the car. It is so nice to have a happy baby in the back seat probably 75% of the time. J
Her physical growth has seemed to level off this month too. She ended the month at 14lbs 3.2oz and about 24.5inches long. She isn’t chunking it up quite as much as she once was, though she still does love to eat. J
This month also marked a lot of fun events and visitors. She got to go to her first wedding and see her cousin Bryant get married to his beautiful bride Jenny. It was a whirlwind weekend, but she did great. Family also came to stay with us for a week and so she got to spend lots of time with Mamaw, Papaw, Granpeg, and Grandaddy. It was so much fun to see her interact with them and wonderful that she finally got to meet Granpeg and Grandaddy. J This month also marked her first Easter and my first Mothers day since she arrived. Both were very fun celebrations to share with such a sweet little girl. Oh and we celebrated her baby dedication at church too!

and hopefully make the decision to trust in Him some day
We discovered two fun things for Mommy and Alethea to do during the day too. Our B.O.B. stroller arrived in the mail this month and so we have been able to go out for runs together. She still only lasts for about 1.5 miles with me, but I will take what I can get for now. Plus we purchased an Infantino Flip carrier that she absolutely loves and we have been able to go on many walks together.
Smiles!
Time for a run!
What a fun month we have had and we are looking forward to enjoying many more as we watch her grow!
