Jordan - 3 Months!

Our baby is getting so big! What a fun month here in Charleston with our little girl. She continues to laugh and smile her way deeper into our hearts everyday. There is something so amazingly simple about babies. They need very few things - food, clean diapers, sleep and most importantly love. I continue to learn something everyday by being Jordan's mom and feel so lucky to spend my days with such a happy and healthy little person.

She really got the hang of sleeping through the night this month - getting into the groove of sleeping 9-10 hours a night. Although, this past week, she has needed a little cuddle and/or pacifier in the middle of the night. Not sure how to get back into that great sleep pattern again. Something tells me that we would all sleep better if we moved her into her own room and crib, but it makes mom super sad for some reason.

Jordan's favorite things these days:

1. Lap standing- she actually just needs help balancing - she is already bearing most of the weight herself. Although- she doesn't have that much to bear - our little peanut is tipping the scales around 11.5 lbs.

2. Her bunny - Jordan's favorite stuffed animal (thanks James & Kim!) Until Bunny arrived, she was anti stuffed animal. She is warming up to other toys lately, but Bunny is still number one in her heart.
3. Chewing on her hands (or other peoples hands- watch out!) It's my understanding that babies explore things with their mouth, which is why they put everything in there.


4. Herself - Jordan has found her favorite new playmate. She absolutely loves looking in the mirror. When she catches a glimpse, she gets the cutest expression - as if to say, "Oh, hi there! I've been looking for you! You are super cute today. Where do you shop for your onesies?"


Our little one continues to find her voice more and more everyday - this month we have started with consonants - every now and then you will catch a G or M sound along with all her vowel babbling. So much fun to hear her "talking".

Getting Jordan to laugh is even more fun this month. Dad usually does the best job - he is super funny. Music to our ears.

And finally a few more photo highlights from this month - all of the photos can be found here.
