Our little Addie Lu is 3 months old today! A few things about her this month:
- She has become a champion sleeper. She almost always sleeps from 8:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. To say it is heavenly would be putting it lightly. She also takes a nice 3-4 hour morning nap. Her afternoons/early evenings are still pretty rough. I have to wake her up every day from her afternoon nap for preschool pick up so she tends to get overstimulated/tired. I am anxious to see how she does once school is out in a couple weeks.
- I think she might be a thumb sucker. She is always slurping on her hand and always seems happy/surprised when she finds her fingers. We shall see. I'd rather have her take a binky but we all know that's not happening.
- She is getting more expressive every day. She has started to laugh a little bit and it is adorable. She also does this cute cute thing where she gurgles her saliva in the back of her throat when she is happy. She is really, really smiley and chatty, even though I have yet to capture it on camera.
- She is learning how to take a bottle. She's had a bottle 3 times in the last week. She'll only take it from Al, when I'm out of the house, but it is allowing me a little bit more freedom which is very welcome this time around. The bottles are messing with my milk production so it's not something I see myself doing regularly.
- Her hair is falling out a little bit (boo!!) and Al says she is looking a little bit like Bozo the clown (longer in the back and on the sides and more bald on top).
- She is still pretty little for one of my babies. She's really rolly but not as big as the other two were by this point. She can still fit into most 0-3 clothes.
- Still loves to be held pretty much anytime she is awake. Hopefully some day she grows out of it.
- Is still the most loved/smothered little baby in the world. She is just a light in our family
She wasn't very cooperative for our photoshoot this morning. We'll try again later this month. We are all not so patiently waiting for Al to come home from his morning meetings so we can get on the road to CA!! (Because I know people are wondering why I'm posting the morning we are leaving on vacation.)

Oh she is so cute! I hope to meet her soon. And I'm so happy she is sleeping for you. That is so important. And I was wondering why you were posting this. Good luck on your drive and have fun!!
She looks beautiful and makes me a little jelous. Have fun on your trip and if you need anything while in CA, don't forget that you still have cousins that live in the area.
She is a doll, love her outfit! I still think she looks a lot like M. Yay for sleep and for an occasional bottle! Have a super trip, can't wait to see pics and hear the details!
Addie Lu! What a cute nick-name!
She is so cute! I can't believe she is 3 months old. It sounds like she is growing and doing everything she should!
Oh, and don't worry about the "thumb" thing, our Lu Lu still only sucks her thumb when she has her teddy bear (nap/bed time).
Have a great trip!!! Can't wait to see all the fun you have!
She looks DARLING and that color is so pretty on her! Have a fun trip! :o) Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
i could pick her out of a line-up as one of your babies!
she's a cutie.
I can't believe she is already sleeping 11 straight hours - that's awesome!!! And what a cute outfit :)
She is totally scrumptous!
She is just so yummy! Have a fun & safe trip. Can't wait to hear all the details. :)
A raving beauty, she is! It's nice that the gene pool is so generous with your children. I love them all to pieces.
