Adah turned 3 months old yesterday! What a doll she is and so much fun! She is smiling a ton now and even has a little squeal to go with it. She is staying awake during the day more, especially in the evening. She has gone 11 hours at night just recently but mostly makes it about 10/10.5. She no longer wakes in the night (ahhhh). The first time she slept completely silent all night I don't think I hardly slept I was so worried about her! I think I even finally got out of bed and un swaddled her and re swaddled her just to reposition her and make sure she was ok. I did sleep better after that! She typically eats between 8:30 and 9pm (sometimes as early as 8) and then goes straight to bed. I wake her at about 7:15am after getting Keziah ready for her day. I think Adah would sleep longer in the morning but in order to fit in the 6 feedings (she seems to still want) during the day she needs to get up! After being awake only an hour, Adah is already ready for a nap. She will sleep about 1.5 hours and then wake to eat again around 9:30ish. The rest of the day is pretty much a blur and definitely unpredictable (except for feedings: 7:15, 9:30, 12:30, 3:30, 6:30, 8:30/9). I am hoping to get her on a little more of a sleeping schedule this next month. We will get there!
Adah laughed for the first time this month (2-15-10). I was playing a little game with her and got up around her neck and she just started giggling. I have since been able to get a giggle in the same place and even her feet will get her to laugh.
Adah likes to spit too. It's just a funny thing she does. It's so cute! I read in Kezzie's baby book that she used to do this when she was Adah's age!
Adah's eyes have started to change a little. They were a pretty bright grey color when she was born and have stayed that way until around last week when I noticed they were getting darker. Today I can almost say they are brown but it's hard to tell. They aren't very dark yet. Her hair is getting thicker on top and looks like it has highlights in it. The back is still pretty dark but is starting to bald from laying on it :(
Adah is exploring with her hands. She is constantly putting them in her mouth but hasn't really seen them with her eyes yet. She has yet to discover her thumb but frequently gags herself with her pointer finger!
Her attention to movement is great. She notices when daddy or mommy walks into the room and will follow us with her eyes. She hates tummy time but is getting pretty good at holding up her head. I probably should be working on this a little more then I do!
Adah is such a blessing in our lives. She brightens my day EVERY day! I look forward to all the days ahead and ways she will make us laugh!
I need to get to bed but will add more as I think of it!
