3 Months



This happy little girl is now 3 months old!  She's getting a little chubbier, a little more interested in her brother, and a whole lot cuter!  This month Lucy began rolling from her back to stomach, took her first plane ride to Indiana, and rode on the world's biggest ferris wheel.

Mom went back to work this month and it wasn't without a few tears.  Just to be clear, going back to work after baby #2 is NOT easier than going back to work after baby #1!  Unfortunately, I knew what to expect and how sad I would be, but it didn't take long for all of us to get the hang of mornings, evenings, and daycare.  I believe Lucy's first day at daycare was hardest on Calvin.  He loves his sister and being able to see her across the hall without being able to physically be with her was pretty torturous for him.  I believe he cried for the first 3-4 hours that morning.  Calvin is now handling the situation much better, thank goodness!

Oh!  And after taking Calvin to daycare for the first time when he was 12 weeks old I wrote this blog.  Well, one child required 8 bags to get out the door and 2 children (plus me) required TEN BAGS!  Thankfully, Dad was there to assist this time.
  • Stats: Unknown.  Somewhere close to 13 lbs and looooong.  Is showing your midriff acceptable for a 3 month old?  This girl will never own a shirt that is long enough to touch the waist of her pants. 
  • Sleep: Lucy is still waking about once per night.  She's up for a quick feed and diaper change and then right back to sleep.  I guess she's worried that her cheeks might slim down if she skips a meal or 2 ;)
  • Eat: She continues to be an A+ nurser and after her first day of daycare, she is a champ with the bottle, too.  She's eating about 3-4 oz from the bottle.
Now for the good stuff.....





Calvin is closing in on his 2nd birthday and has enjoyed having some extra time with Mom, too!  He also visited Indiana, rode the High Roller, and started playing soccer.

Lucy is not a fan of the annual "kissing cousins" photos.









Soccer is pretty exhausting!

Indiana sure is fun!!


This was the morning of their first school picture day.  I'm convinced that having picture day in daycare was created solely to stress moms out.
