Lily at 3 Months Old

She’s changed a lot in the last month.  She’s bigger (over 11 pounds now, not sure how tall).  More hair is coming in, and she’s losing some her long, dark newborn hair.  The newer hair is so fuzzy and a lighter shade of brown.  Her eyes are brighter blue, less of that newborn navy blue.

She’s also much more aware of her surroundings.  She’s very good at tracking things – if she hears Gabe or Mike in the room, even if he’s behind her, she’ll look around and smile at him.  She discovered she has hands and feet – and she can make them do things.  She bats at toys, kicks in the tubby.  And not just randomly – she’ll look right at something and hit it with her hands or feet.  She was very funny in the bath yesterday – she kept kicking her bottle of shampoo over.  I’d right it, and she’d knock it over again with a smile.  “Look what my feet can do!”

You can also put something in her hand and she will hold it and turn it this way and that; all while staring at it with a look of concentration on her face.  She’ll taste it, and then look at again … and then shake it like mad.  So silly.

And now that she’s 3 months, I’m putting away all her 0-3 month clothes and getting out the 3-6 ones.  As I was doing this, I noticed I had not yet taken a picture of her in her Thanksgiving outfit, so I snapped one of those today too, before I boxed it up:

Lily's Thanksgiving Outfit

Such a sweetie!  The outfit is from her Aunt Katie.  Lily was so darling at Thanksgiving, all though then we had to roll up the cuffs more!
