14 Weeks!

Michelle turned 14 weeks yesterday!!! It is so crazy to me but I say that every week. She is a sweetie pie and has been rolling all week. The current challenge is that sometime she gets really into chomping on her fists and sometimes rolls over to her tummy in the process but is tired and then just starts to cry because she can't (or won't) remember what to do even though she is perfectly capable of rolling back over on her own. She also seems to do this while napping which therefore wakes herself up- not cool. Why don't I just swaddle her you ask? Well, that's another story. The other night she was swaddled up all tightly and then I woke up and heard her fussing a little (not even very much) but I oddly decided to check on her anyways. She had managed to wiggle so that the blanket was wrapped around her head and only her head so that even by flailing her arms it wasn't unwrapping- I have no clue how she managed to do that but I was grateful for the prompting that got my but out of bed. So yeah, basically I'm not sleeping so well right now, although she still sleeps in her bassinette right now and she can't roll over in that but she is almost ready for her crib at this point.
Anyways here is what you really want- Pictures!

Thanks for the pretty and sentimental blanket Mommy =) she loves it! (and so do I!)

uhhh... tooo close dad, a little too close...

Proven Wrong, Again

Michelle is definitely my daughter because she clearly wanted to prove me wrong. In my last post (which I actually wrote on Friday) I said she rarely rolls over. Well yesterday Joe and I were sitting on the couch watching Michelle play on the floor. She was laying on her back, then her side, then her front- holding herself up and everything. Then she played for a bit and rolled back to her back, played for a bit then did it again a second time and then a third. It was so cool getting to watch her make the connections of how to do it and that she really was the one in charge, she was so proud! We're proud of her but at the same time I feel a little bit sad, what happened to my little baby? At three months and 1 day old she was rolling around, not cool!

Then today, oh today. So, we were sitting in Sunday School and Michelle was on my lap looking all over the place and I hear her poop (not even that loud) I grab a diaper and am about to take her our when I realize that the poop is everywhere- diaper, her skirt, her legs, blanket, my skirt was filled with it as well as my hands. How can something so small contain SO SO SO much poop?! Have you ever had to walk out of Sunday school covered in poop? Because I have and I was not too thrilled with the looks I got either. What did you want me to do people? Stay?! Needless to say we came home early today which was probably good because Michelle had a meltdown once we got outside. (Church is right during her morning nap- normally I can get her to sleep but she only slept for about 20 min today- no bueno.) After Michelle and I both taking a shower (SO MUCH POOP!) we tried to put her down for he nap (she naps in her crib most of the time even though at the moment she still sleeps in her bassinette in our room at night). She was finally calming down and then I heard her make a noise I wasn't familiar with so I had Joe go and check on her, she had rolled over, and then proceeded to repeat the process about 5 more times. She sure is a mover and a shaker and once she gets the arm strength she will surely be a scootin on her way to crawling... tear... yet proud. p.s. it took another 1.5 hrs to get her to sleep, ya know only about 2 hrs after her normal nap time, yeah, that was fun.

Laundry awaits.

Three Months!!!!

April 20, 2012
I feel robbed! My sweet baby girl is three months old! How did that happen?! She is as adorable as ever of course and certainly already has her own personality and likes and dislikes

She loves to be read to
She is really good at getting her fists to her mouth and chowing down on them
Like her daddy, she likes to suck on her tongue
She loves looking around
Her favorite colors to study are currently red and blue (and of course anything else high contrast as per normal)
She's a smiley giggly baby a lot of the time, when you smile at her 90% of the time she will smile happily back very proudly
She is strong and does well sitting up while being held, of course she still kinda flies around and loses her balance sometimes but she does great for her age
She is a master at tummy time and every once and a while randomly rolls over, very nonchalantly too. It's funny because she won't do it when she is frustrated just when she is happy. She rolled from her tummy to back the first time at 7 weeks and just this monday she rolled from her back to her front (i'm hoping this one doesn't become common place for a while). Thankfully she doesn't roll too much but when she feels like it she just goes with very little effort.
She currently takes a really good morning and afternoon nap and then a half hearted one in the evening, I will not go into her sleeping habits further as I do not want a mob of angry mothers coming after me ;)
She loves play time with mommy and daddy
She is really good at melting people's hearts and is totally adorable! (Even the MEN at church have stopped to tell us what a cute baby we have, yeah, that's a pretty good indication of what a cute baby you have

Yo Yo Yo! POUND IT! hee hee

Well, I wrote a post about Michelle turning three months on Friday but saved it to come back and add pictures later. Blogger changed everything about it's self and now I can't find it so you must wait until I figure it out. grrrrr
