Kehrli Tales...: Addison: Three Months

Our growing girl is THREE months old! I can't believe how quickly time is passing, but its so fun to see our little girl changing before our eyes.

We don't have official doctor stats (those will come later this month at her four month check up), but the last month has been a big one! Addison has started...
- Laughing...A LOT. Its hilarious when she laughs so it usually leads to Bob and I laughing, which keeps Addison laughing
- "Talking." Addison LOVES to hear her voice. She makes all sorts of silly noises and loves when we repeat them back.
- Blowing bubbles. At first I thought it was just drool, lots of drool, but after further observation it really is bubble blowing
- Grabbing. She grabs anything she can get her hands on! Toys, buttons on our clothes, arm hair (ouch!), etc.
- Sucking on her hands. It seems its becoming her way of self soothing (she is not a binky girl), but only time will tell.
- Kicking every chance she gets. On her play mat, on her changing table, in her bed, while nursing...
- Working her right hand out of her swaddle. She likes to have at least one hand free. Lately she works the right out first and sometimes, by morning, has been able to release them both!
- Teething?!?!!? There appears to be the start of a tooth popping up on the lower right side of her mouth. We will see what comes of it!

She LOVES:
- Staring in the mirror, especially when we make faces at her.
- Singing (even mine). Her favorite song is still Twinkle, Twinkle (it calms her down the fastest, a trick that Bob, Chasie and I have all used).
- The Sleep Machine app on the iPhone (thanks Auntie Loanie for sharing your sleep secret. It works wonders for your niece too!) The app comes in especially handy in the car.
- Nighttime sleeping :) She is pretty consistent now and sleeps 10-12 hours at night. Daytime is still all over the place. Some days she sleeps great in her crib, others not so much. We take it day by day, but appreciate the long stretches she gives us at night.

Taking Addison's three month photos was a bit of an adventure. She started out kicking and sucking her hands, but that wasn't enough for our active little one. See the photo shoot progression below. We are in for it once she starts crawling. My oh my!
