A Day in the Life of Eliana: 3 months!

Can you believe our little girl is 3 months old already? Time has flown by and she is getting so big so fast. The past month has been an exciting one. Eliana met all her grandparents (she had already met Grandmommy of course), had her blessing (which is like a christening), and flew on 6 planes to get to and from UT to meet her Aunt Becky & Uncle Joseph. She also went a full 13 days without pooping (not totally uncommon for breastfeed babies). We took her into the Dr just in case something was wrong at 12 days and he suggested giving her 1 oz of juice (which she loved). Of course while at the Dr they weighed her and she had gained a whole pound in a month! 11lbs 6 oz.! But some of that weight might have been the poo she was holding onto. Major poosplosion the next morning. Eliana has also become quite good at holding her head up, smiling, and grasping. She is still working on that giggle, but it is getting really good.

We are working on a new nap schedule and this was day 3 of that, so far so good. Yay!

7:00- I woke up and ate some breakfast. Mom and Dad wanted to shower for the day and I had just showered yesterday, so I played on the bed.

Then I helped Daddy get dressed.
Before going to work Daddy played some video games and I watched. One day we will play together.

I wanted to get closer to Daddy so I started to lean towards him, but I fell over on my face :(
9:00 - This is my new nap time, right after Daddy leaves for work

11:15 - I woke up from my nap and was ready to play for a bit. I found out that my play mat has other toys to play with. I like this one it is easy to grab.
12:00 - Mom and I went to the pool for a short trip. Mom didn't bring the camera because she figured she couldn't take pictures and swim with me by herself.

12:45 - It was just a short trip to the pool. It was bright and I couldn't really keep my eyes open and Mom forgot my sun hat. When we got back to the house I was tired so Mom put me down for a 2nd nap, it was a little early but not too much.

4:00 - While I was napping the new toy Mommy ordered for me came.
When I kick it lights up and plays music. I really like music. Haven't quite got the hang of it yet though.
It is fun to watch the lights!

4:30 - Daddy came home from work early and we all went to the pool, but this time Mommy and Daddy just forgot the camera so still no pictures from the pool. I'm not sure what to think of the pool, I don't dislike it. Mom says I like it more and more as I get older.

6:00- When we got back from the pool Mom saw that my hair had dried funny because of the wind. It got a little half curl in the front.

Here's a shot from the front.
6:30 - Before bed we had a little dance party, meaning I danced with Daddy while on Mommy's lap, it was kinda Hip-Hop style.


7:00 - Bedtime, all bundled up and ready to go to sleep.
