3 months old: tired, cuter and smarter

I've been really busy the past few weeks! I just finished the 3 months old growth spurt that nearly drove my Mama insane. Me too though, I kept wanting to suck and eat every hour or two. Even through the nights, I kept waking up and wailing because the dark scared me and I wanted milk NOW! This absurdity lasted for more than 7 days and now I am happy to say, it's over! It's much better that way because when I go to sleep for the night, I have my fun with the fishies then when I wake up, it's bright and I'm not scared to wake up all by myself.

I've discovered that I can put my fingers into my mouth all by myself and suck without depending on that plastic thingy called "the paci". I also LOVE to stand up on my legs and when I am standing up, I beam and let out a coo of excitement.



I sing too, you know? It's so much fun to sing, especially to my yellow fish called "Ditzy":



There are other fishes but they don't excite me as much as this one does:



Isn't Ditzy cute? He always come back after going away for awhile... with all the musical blur and lights galore, I never fail to scream, yell and coo when Ditzy comes back into sight. When I have my fun with Ditzy, I usually do it like a regular clockwork (around 9pmish). My Parent's bedroom light flashes and the whole room is just... what's the word? A busy bling?

Here's the light that flashes when I make any loud noises:



Well. Aside from screaming at Ditzy, I also have my favorite toy called Doggy. I just love Doggy's eyes-- they're so "out there" that I just can't help it but be glued to his eyes. Doggy tends to be my toy when I have my special time called "tummy time". Mama and Papa says it's really important because it exercises my neck's muscles. Here you go, pictures of my tummy time with Doggy.

ME on my tummy-- sometimes when I flex my muscles, it causes my eyes to drift and become crossed-- I seriously need to work on that.



Here's me talking to Doggy, can you see his ears? Nifty eh?



My Mama took pictures with her fancy camera but Papa took the best with his pager:



Here's Doggy, see what I mean about the eyes?



My Mama is trying me out in my Mayan Sling because I wasn't so fond of it when I was much younger. Right now I kinda like it and I think Mom needs to practice wearing me some more :)



Last but not least, me with Daddy! We're wearing matching shirts, I know, I know... cheesy but you gotta love it.





Mama promised us that it was the first and last cheesy thing she'd "force" us to do... we'll see about that.

I've begun polishing up my skills on reaching and grabbing things that interests me. So far it is easiest to put my hands into my mouth without whacking my fingers into my nose or eyes. My favorite things to do right now are:

1) Play with Ditzy
2) Woof with Doggy
3) Watch Daddy talk to me
4) Sing with Mommy
5) Standing up with help
6) Smile a coy smile every time Mama looks at me
7) Drool. Hee hee.
