3 months old!

Irene is 3 months old. Some new things:

-we took her "swimming" in a friend's hot tub...she is SUPER buoyant and floats on her own. we just have to hold her head/neck straight and she "swims/floats". We have done this in the bathtub and it is hilarious. She kicks her feet and moves her arms like she is really swimming. Shannon even "dunked" her...blew in the face and put her under/up really quickly. She didn't like it but didn't cry too much...sort of more afraid/startled than mad.
-she really likes to "talk" to us. she makes hilarious sounds as if she is experimenting with her lungs/vocal cords/tongue/etc. She does everything from low grunts to high pitched squeels.
-she holds onto toys, clothes, blankets, etc. good grasp on pretty much anything.
-she still loves her black/white books...and even smiles at other pages (not just the buttons)
-starting to sleep in more places: carseat regularly, sweetpeace, church, etc.
-sleeping through the night!!!! we put her down at 9pm(ish) and she will go until 5 or 6am.
-she loves to go on walks, outside, etc...she has been to several soccer games and doesn't mind all the attention as she gets passed around...
-she is starting to get quite a head of fuzz on her...
-when she concentrates or is really chilled she drools and/or makes spit bubbles
-she smiles alot.


check out these videos AND the new album!

Happy three month birthday, Irene! My favorite is the last picture, with her arms stretched out above her head as she sleeps...the epitome of contentment.

Buoyancy + huge flipper feet = future olympic medalist.

Thanks for the post!
