Anna: 3 Months

August 22, 2013; Anna, you are THREE months old.

I can't believe how fast time is going in your life already! I am trying to cherish every moment with you...since without a doubt you are my last little one. On one hand I am still SO happy you have completed our family, I think I have just come to terms with the fact that I will always want more babies.....and then....you wake up, and remind me, that I am in fact insane.

I took these photos a few days before you were three months old, while your sisters and your Daddy ran around at the park. I captured your sweet smiles while listening to the laughter of your big sisters in the background. I can't wait for you to run with them...all five of you.

You still have the best baby smell. I never get old of that smell.

Your eyes are still blue.

Your hair is light brown with some red in it. Much lighter than Emily and Natalee, but maybe around the same color as Maddy and Claire.

You have beautiful skin.

You are wearing size 2 diaper.

You are wearing some Newborn clothes, but mostly 0-3, 3 months and even a few small 6 month outfits.

You are probably about 11-12 lbs, and are really growing fast now!

This month your cousin Ally was born.

You have been to the park many times.

You love your swing.

You sleep on your belly all night long.

You are almost rolling over from your tummy to your back.

You grab your toys and bring them to your mouth to suck on.

You love sucking on your fists and fingers.

You love watching your mobile.

You are only a fan of your car seat when the car is moving.

You are drinking 4-6 ounces of Similac Sensitive or expressed breast milk every 4 hours during the day.

You are a MUCH happier baby on formula!!!

I love to dress you up and put bows in your hair, as I do with all your sisters.

Speaking of your sisters, they love to give you kisses and help me burp you.

You have extreme fussy times, but honestly the formula has made a HUGE improvement in your overall happiness!

You have one major poop each day.

You get a bath every other night and you are now in your bath, instead of the sink.

You love the bath and would probably love it if I let you stay in longer than I do.

You have started cooing and talking to us and I just love listening to you!

You can hold your head up so well now. Such an improvement in just a few weeks!

I carry you a lot in the baby k'tan and you love it. And I love the work out it gives me!

I still think you look like Maddy and Claire, but you definitely have some of Natalee's features too. I don't think you look anything like Emily.

You are very active. You love to kick your legs and move your arms all over.

You love to watch TV, especially if the room is very dark.

This month I moved you into your crib from your pack-n-play bassinet, still in our room though.

You can scoot yourself all the way across the crib, on your belly, in your sleep sack. You are very strong! However, you do not like when you hit your head on the crib rails because you can't scoot any farther.

You smile all of the time now. I am anxiously awaiting that first laugh!

I still call you Anna, Annabelle, and Anna-Kate. I probably call you Annabelle the most. Daddy calls you peanut a lot. And of course your sisters call you "baby" and "Baby Anna".
