3 Months

At 3 months, Miss Madelyn is beginning to be such a big girl! She is holding her head up and is noticeably more steady. She is tolerating tummy time and holds her head up so well! She even enjoys looking at herself in the mirror on her activity gym. She is outgrowing her clothes - so we are slowly putting away her 0-3 month outfits. She recognizes Billy and I when we walk into the room, and gives us that gorgeous smile that lights up our world. She has full on "conversations" with us...or so we like to think. She is starting to suck her hands, and, as you'll see in the last video below - she even got her thumb in her mouth today. 

We are hoping stomach issues which we blame for her fussiness will start to turn a corner - a lot of people say 3 months is the magic number. So far, we haven't seen any magic though. :(  We know; however, that when her digestive issues finally do subside, she is going to be one happy, smiley baby. 

We can't believe it's been three months since she entered our world. She has grown so big - it's amazing and mind blowing to imagine where the future will take her. We are excited to lead her on her journey. Everyday we marvel at how much she is taking in, learning, and growing.

 Much to Billy's protesting, I had to post this video of him singing "Happy Birthday" to Madelyn today. Her reaction is too cute not to share.

Finally, Madelyn's new favorite toys are her hands, which she licks and sucks all the day long. Today she actually stuck her little thumb in her mouth and sucked away. I was so excited to capture it on video. 

...God is so good - everyday he amazes me with the miracle of life, which I love witnessing through our baby girl.
