3 Months Old!

|
So
this first pic was taken when Jane was a week old, the morning we left Austin (yes, I left the decorations above her changing table up until the last possible minute).

This picture was taken on her three month birthday, last Friday. This picture doesn't capture how HUGE she has gotten (and I'm not talking about her booty--she's wearing a cloth diaper).

At three months:
  • Jane has rolled over several times starting a couple of weeks ago.
  • She's pretty much addicted to sucking her hands.
  • And she likes to yell a lot. Her voice has evolved from Pterodactyl to Cave Woman, as Eric put it.
  • She still hates tummy time-- she's confused, she lifts her legs up instead of her head and ends up pushing her head into the floor, very reminiscent of a beached whale.
  • She's decided she does like her swing now and loves to sit and watch me do my stuff while yelling.
  • I'm pretty sure she's teething, she drools like, well, like a baby who's teething (yes, my ability to make similes and metaphors is still gone, darn baby-brain).
  • And she's starting to be a bit more interested in toys and book. Up until now, she had all the stimulation she could handle between mommy, daddy, and her cousins.
  • Still no laughing, but plenty of winning smiles.




Life is good and Baby Boot Camp may finally be over...knock on wood.

Favorite Comics

So I just wanted to share these with the world. They are my favorite comics about pregnancy and Baby Boot Camp. Hope they make you smile, they are SO true.


Like Mommy or Daddy?

As promised, we've gotten scientific on you...


So I've been wanting to post baby pictures of Eric, me, and Jane so that the voting can begin in earnest. Take a look at the poll at the top right of this page, it's been reopened. Hopefully any lingering election angst won't inhibit you.

Many thanks to my little sis who took a few of my baby pics to school and scanned them for me.

Halloween!

Meet the Amazing Rando and his Lovely Assistant.


They have this adorable little bunny, who wasn't very happy about being pulled out of a gigantic top hat.

We made the top hat out of an apple bucket and stiff felt. The wand is a painted dowel (don't tell Rando).

We put our many moving boxes to good use for my costume. , Incidentally, it's a great costume for a post-baby body. I made Rando's cape, Eric put his wedding tux to good use and Jane wore white pants and a long-sleeved onesie with pink felt pinned to it. I bought the ears and the ostrich feather in my hair. Ostrich feathers are expensive.

A lot of work for one night of fun. But we'll always have the pictures.
