3 months old!

Happy birthday to my little wiggle worm who is 3 months old! {since January 7th} Time is flying by! I couldn't get any pictures of her smiling yesterday when I was trying to take some... she just kept looking at me like I was crazy and them when I would put the camera down she would smile... figures! haha. I did a little sequence of poses of her squirming... I'll get some more later and hopefully she'll be in the mood to smile for the camera! :)

Maggie Claire is growing like crazy! Her three month stats are:

13 pounds & 25 inches long

She is doing so great! She finally started sleeping through the night consistently a few weeks ago, and that has been so nice! She was so close for the longest time, and then I just made a few adjustments to her routine, and volia! she's sleeping anywhere from 8-9 hours at night, and I'm hoping that will extend soon!

Maggie Claire has been talking {cooing} a lot more lately, especially when she is playing with her toys. She giggles too, it is so cute! She loves observing things around her and she likes watching me & Mike, and whatever we are doing. She loves her blankets and when I have them next to her she always holds on to them, it's really cute! {basically everything she does I think is cute, so I'm sorry if I say that too much!}

Here's the sweet smile & the chubby face! :)

Exciting News! MC has finally taken a bottle without a fuss! yay, yay, yay, yay, yay! I went to work at the church the other night and Mike gave her one and he said she took it like a pro! Then the next two nights, my mom and Mike's parents watched her and they both said she did just great- without fussing! I was so worried that she wasn't EVER going to take a bottle, but with persistence she did it! :)

This month Maggie is still loving her bathtime & playmat. She still likes the swing, but it seems like not as much as she use to. I think she is growing out of it. We did try the bumbo last week, she's almost ready for it, but not quite! She is doing really well holding her head up when people hold her, but she's not so thrilled about tummytime. We are still working on it! She likes it better if she does it on the couch so she can see more & she's higher up.

This month she also has found her fingers. I catch her sucking & chewing on all of them all the time. It's really cute... I can tell she is going to start teething soon! :/

Notice the little drool/spit bubbles in this picture... she is such a doll!
