Ella at 3 Months

- Takes note of her hands and likes to look at them.

- Likes baths

- Has developed more of an appreciation for eating.  Will now eat for longer stretches and seems to want to eat for nourishment and comfort now.

-Sucks on her thumb and fingers for comfort too.  (We maybe discontinuing the pacifier all together in the not too distant future!)

-Seems to have gone through a little growth spurt shortly before she was 12 weeks old.

- Likes to be a naked baby 

-We've been told by a few people that she has a very wise/serious look about her-- we chalk it up to all the hair she has:)

-Has graduated from sleeping in her car seat at night to sleeping in her pack-n-play.  She still does pretty well at night, but doesn't seem to sleep as soundly or as long as she did in her car seat. (She's too squirmy for the car seat to work anymore).

- Doesn't seem to like car rides unless we can get her to settle in and drive on the interstate.

- Likes to be carried around in mommy's wrap.

-Gives big smiles when she sees Gianna and when she talks to her.
-Likes to be with and around people.

-Starting to develop quite the extensive list of vocabulary (mainly consisting of Agoo's and "I" sounds;)  The other day, it was very cute- Andy came home briefly during his 24 to get a change of clothes; Ella hadn't seen him all day, and she talked up a storm when she saw him.  It seemed like she was telling him everything she had done that day while he was gone.  She definitely took note of his sudden presence.

-Can hold up her head pretty well.

- More often than not, people say she looks like her daddy.

-Really is a sweet little baby with a great smile:)
