three months

happy birthday, dear catherine gray-ace. happy birthday to you!


i dressed her in my very favorite newborn size sleep-n-play for her 3 month pics because she is too long to wear it much longer. if you couldn't tell, it is pink leopard print with tiny kitten faces on the feet. it is monogrammed with "i'm purrrrfect." get it? leopard print, kittens, purr?

thank goodness i also bought it in the next larger size. hee hee! if she's wearing one when she leaves for college, we may have a problem.


i asked j what he wanted us to remember about baby cate at 3 months. he said he wanted to remember that she threw her biggest fit so far today. she screamed so loudly for so long that she made herself choke a little bit. she subsequently drank her first ice cold bottle on her 3 month birthday. she didn't complain.

i would like to remember something more pleasant. for the past 2 days instead of waking up to a crying baby, we've been roused gently by tiny, dulcet coos. it is so sweet to listen to her babbling away happily, patiently waiting for the first bottle of the morning. when we finally peeked over the side of the crib, she greeted us with the widest smile you've ever seen. talk about melting hearts.

she broke out a new trick this week. when she's done with tummy time, she can flip herself onto her back. she flips so quickly she startles herself.

i know i say this in every post, but we are so very thankful she was born 3 months ago!
