Macie at 3 months:
- Smiles lots everyday, her smile is so adorable and she acts almost shy when she does it. I love trying to see how many times I can get her to smile in a day.
- holds her head up amazingly well
- hates tummy time but will do it for a little bit to please mom
- loves to be held so she can see the world
- loves to read books with mom and dad her favorite is "All Kinds of Kisses"
- she stands extremely well and I think might be an early walker but a late crawler. I see her being one of those kids that takes forever to crawl but then walks very soon after crawling.
- Is not sleeping through the night anymore but will still sleep for 5 to 6 hours wake up eat then sleep for another 3 to 4 hours. still pretty good for a 3 month old and I can't complain.
- Loves her Daddy so much and starts smiling when he gets home from work
- Her favorite time of day is bath time, I can honestly get her smiling the whole entire time she is having a bath.
- Still hates being put in her car seat and as she gets older and her cry gets louder it honestly sounds like we are torchering her when we put her in it, but I promise we are not.
- loves to play with her toys, if I hold them in my hand and sit her on my lap she loves to pick at them.
- she also loves putting her toys in her mouth and slobbering all over them.
- she is pretty darn fantastic, amazing, wonderful and the most amazing little girl ever. You completely rock your mothers world Macie and I just can't get enough of you.
Kalinda
- is feeling great and loving every minute of being a mom, even those hard moments as they make you appreciate the good moments that much more
- has got back to my pre-baby weight but still has a lot of toning up to do
- has been reading a ton of books as breast feeding gives me many moments in the day to do so. I read the Hunger Games and Catching Fire in 4 days and was able to read The Book of Mormon in 3 months. I hope to read it two more times this year.
- has to admit that besides being able to read when breast feeding I am not a huge fan of it, although my goal is for Macie to be a 100% breast feed baby and no formula. If the milk keeps a coming I am not a stopping.
- is excited for spring and summer to make its arrival so I can start getting out of the house more and go on walks and to the park with friends.
Mark
- Is still crazy busy with life and sometimes I feel like the both of us are in our own little world, me being a mom and Mark being a husband, dad, teacher, student, young mens president and working full time.
- Is so in love with his little girl and spoiling her rotten with hugs, kisses, reading books, and letting mom buy cute clothes for her. It was funny how when I was pregnant he would always say things like did you really need to buy that for her and wow she is costing us a lot of money and now he says well don't we need to buy that for Macie, and is excited to see the clothes I bought for her.
The Pets
- Are doing fantastic, Cobalt keeps ignoring Macie, Molly and Lily want to lick her to death but listen well to mom and dad when they say no. Lily is going to be such a protector of Macie as whenever she is crying, she gives us that look of Hello help her she is sad, and if she is in her room playing on the floor and I have to quickly go to the bathroom and she starts crying when I leave Lily will go lye down by her trying to comfort her.
