The Mom

Friday, January 26, 2007

Well she is 3 months old now. We finally got to her two month check up which had been rescheduled five times due to weather, power outages, or ice. She is 12 lbs. 5 oz. and 23.5 inches long! We were demonstrating our standing skills for Dr. Milam (she can stand up against the sofa by herself) when she decided to projectile pee, missing the wee wee guard and hitting the table and floor. It was pretty impressive actually. Even the doctor was amazed at how much urine came out of such a tiny person. Ah, what can you say, she drinks like a fish. ;)

I just can't get over how fast she is growing. I mean 3.5 inches in three months is pretty impressive in my book. The only thing I've ever had grow that fast was maybe my waistline. He, he. She is doing all the things she should and maybe a few of the things she shouldn't. Like I said, she can hold herself up while standing and we are working on sitting unassisted reliably. Right now she can keep balanced for a few minutes but does end up tipping to one side or the other. Really, she does better standing than sitting. Odd huh?

We also managed to be apart for two days! It did end up being harder on me. Auntie Heather loved having her and was able to put several hats on her throughout the day (she has a hat fetish). Abuelo got a fun surprise for his birthday when he was changing Aurelie. Somehow that tricky baby managed to write Feliz Cumpleanos Abuelo on the outside of her diaper. He wanted to keep it but luckily Abuelita was there to stop him. He, he. It makes me so happy to know that she has all these caring people in her life. She truly is blessed, as am I, to have all this support and love.

The seminar went well and should help us to invest wisely. We hope to have her college taken care of, as does every parent I'm sure. I just really want her to enjoy her education which is really hard to do when you work multiple jobs. I also wouldn't mind having the house paid off in a few more years. ;) We'll see.

As it is, she is starting to awaken and babble at me so I will just say thanks for being a part of our lives.
