3 months!

3. Months. Old.

Woah. Where does the time go? Seriously. School started 3 weeks ago. Cailin has been going to daycare while I am there. I drop her off on my way to work (its 5 mins away) and I pick her up on the way home. She loves it there. Every time I pick her up she is always smiling and playing!

I started with 7th grade, which is nice because I just had most of these students last term.

Cailin is doing al sorts of new things: giggling, rolling on both sides, and purposely kicking things! She is getting so big. She is now just about grown out of her 0-3 month stuff and is on to the 3-6 month clothes and she is still in a size 1 diaper. We are going to see how size 2 fits once the size 1s run out.

Cailin loves to be carried facing out. She really likes looking at her surroundings and meeting people. I just bought a baby bjorn front carrier and she loves that too. I also got her an exersaucer but she is still a bit too little for it. She is holding her head up all of the time and is STARTING to tolerate tummy time.

Wow. September already. I can barely believe it. Time seemed to stand still when I was pregnant, now, it is flying by. Cailin will be 3 months old in 17 days, I go back to work with the return of school next week, and it will be fall very soon.

I love autumn. I really like the cool weather, pumpkin everything, and the fall holidays: Halloween and especially Thanksgiving. Cailin will still be little but It is going to be so much fun taking her apple picking, to King Richards Faire, and to Salem. We may hve to do the Thanksgiving Parade this year!

Cailin had her 2 month dr's appointment on Tuesday. She is 12 lbs 7 oz and 23.5 inches tall!! My growing girl!! After a brief discussion with the dr, she suggested moving Cailin to her crib and have her sleep flat. When she was first born, she would not even entertain the idea at all. I would slowly put her down and 10 minutes later she would scream. Then we discovered that the bouncy seat was the best way to get her to stay asleep. She is still sleeping through the night but she wakes up about an hour earlier than she used to. She also likes to wiggle around and I ALWAYS find her with an extremity danlging between the bars of her crib. An arm, a leg, BOTH legs... its funny but I think I need to get a mesh bumper LOL
