Isla turned 3 months old yesterday- how crazy is that? This has been either the fastest 3 months or the slowest 3 months of my life- can't quite decide!
It seems that month 3 is bringing so much change. Possibly more change that I have noticed so far. Here is what I am loving about 3 months:
-Isla has started to recognize herself in the mirror and really enjoys smiling at herself when we play in front of the bathroom mirror.
-Naps: we have them now! Real ones! In a bed! Without me! Really, this is possibly one of the greatest things we have achieved so far. Sure, they aren't incredibly long (an hour max so far), but I will take it.
-Falling asleep on her own. Isla is now ok with being put in the bed and falling asleep on her own. In fact, she seems a little restless and agitated if you keep holding her. As soon as you put her in her bed (as long as she is tired and burped) she turns her head, sucks her soother, and nestles in for a good sleep. Last night I broke out the twilight turtle, thinking she may enjoy watching the stars as she fell asleep. She seemed amazed by them and couldnt stop looking around. When I put her in her bed, she continued to just talk and laugh away. As soon as I turned it off, she fell asleep immediately- so much for the stars soothing her to sleep :)
-Isla now spends more time awake, and will spend more time just being happy and talking away. Earlier it was eat, cry, sleep...there wasn't much time for playing or smiling. I really enjoy cuddling with her in the morning. This seems to be when she is the most happy.
- Smiling when she wakes up. When she was smaller, it seemed any time she woke up, she did so with some pretty loud cries. Now she will wake up and begin "talking" away. When I go in to get her, she gives out some pretty sweet smiles. She also seems more content to hang out in her bassinet on her own.
-Bath time. Isla absolutely loves the bath. She really enjoys kicking and splashing away. Usually, she is pretty entertained as her dad gives her some pretty fun baths. I usually hear the squeals of excitement all the way downstairs.
We did our three month pics yesterday, and she even started to show a few smiles in front of the camera. Here is her a few days after bringing her home from the hospital:

And here she is at 3 months old- blowing bubbles :)
