Leah at Three Months

Leah didn't have a three month checkup so I'm going to guesstimate her stats. She weighs about 14 lbs and is probably 24 1/2 inches. She's almost outgrown her 3-6 month clothing and I've already moved her into some 6 to 9 month clothing where she fits comfortably. We switched her over to size 2 diapers from 1-2 diapers yesterday.

Leah has hit some major milestones in just the last couple of days. She started pushing herself along the ground when she is on her stomach. She can move a couple of inches at a time, but she tires quickly. Her legs are very strong and she can stand by herself as long as you have a fingers for her to balance on. She can sit up briefly, but again her balance is not so good. She has rolled over from her back to stomach in my bed.

Emotionally she is still an exceptionally happy baby. She loves to talk. She coos forever and when there is a break we can ask her a question and then she'll continue talking to you again. She loves to watch her brothers, recognizes them, and smiles when they come into her view. Her alertness means that Avery and Zachary love to interact with her now. There is so much gratification from getting a baby to smile at you. She loves songs and being bounced; we can always get a giggle out of her from doing the "Ladies Ride" song.
