MC is 3 months!

MC turned 3 months old last week! I feel extremely blessed to have her in our family and that I've had the privilege to watch her grow and be home with her, especially over the last few weeks, while G has been at preschool.MC finally started to sleep through the night about two weeks ago. She'll go a few nights without waking, and then might have one or two nights of getting up around 4 am. She wakes up for the day around 7 am, but sometimes, she'll sleep until 8 or 8:30, if she had a 4-5 am feeding. I can tell that she's not going to like getting up in the mornings! She's okay when I pick her up, but as soon as I lay her down to change her diaper, she starts to whimper and cry. It's very pathetic!
On a typical day that she is up around 7, she's back to sleep around 8:30. She eats around every 3 hours. Sometimes 30 minutes earlier or 30 minutes later. And she naps fairly consistently around 11, and then again around 2. It feels so good to have her own a schedule, so we all know what to expect during the day!
She's sleeping in her crib at night and for at least two naps during the day.

Her favorite toys are her swing, musical seahorse, and she's enjoying the bouncy seat more- so long as she can see the lights from the t.v.
G has decided that MC's nickname should be "Meggie", and we'll catch her calling her by that name several times a day! I'm interested to see if G decides to keep it around.

MC isn't rolling over, but she is able to tolerate tummy time for 7-10 minutes at a time and I do let her sleep on her tummy during the day. At night though, she's swaddled and on her back!

She has a fun personality and loves to smile when you're talking to her. She also makes a 'k' sound and we'll make the sound to each other back and forth, and she thinks it's pretty funny! We've also started playing peek-a-boo and she enjoys that game as well!

I'm just so thankful for how we're all finally adjusting and getting into a great routine and that God has blessed us with MC!
