3 months... already!?!

I almost can't remember a time when I wasn't Auria's mommy, yet at the same time I can't believe my sweet baby is already THREE months old! Thinking back to when we first brought her home I can see how much she's grown and learned and I'm so amazed! She's got great control of her noggin & she loves sitting up in her chair... it won't be long before she's sitting up all on her own! She holds her head up and looks all around the room during tummy time, although she still doesn't like to stay on her tummy for too long. We can't leave her alone if she's not on the floor because she wiggles her way down now! She can move pretty far, pretty quickly - I know I'm going to have to start baby proofing the house soon! She's working on rolling over from her back to her tummy! She's done it a few times in our bed and on the couch but I don't count those officially because those surfaces have a little give so I think it's easier for her to roll over there than it would be on the floor. I know she will get it down soon though! One of my favorite things is now she smiles and "talks" like crazy and when she's in a really good mood she'll laugh out loud, which mommy thinks is the most precious sounds in the world! I've tried to record her giggles on my phone but it's like she knows the camera is on and she stops until right when I give up, haha! She gets extra chatty every night right before we settle down for bed - Josh and I find this to be quite a treat!

Speaking of Josh, despite the early hours and long weeks he's had at work, he's still been making an effort to spend time when Auria and me and we love it! He came home early on Saturday with a box of chocolate covered strawberries (my fav!) to surprise me! And yesterday he made dinner! I love my hubby and I love him even more when I watch him being daddy with our sweet girl!

So besides yesterday being Auria's 3 month bday, we also had a play date with Brittany & Talon! Talon is about 5 1/2 months old and he is an adorable, happy baby! I enjoyed hanging out with his momma and when they weren't napping/eating I think the babies really enjoyed each other. I know as they get older they'll just have more and more fun playing together! Talon is at the age now where he's really into trying to chew on his feet, so when we were holding him and Auria in front of each other he kept reaching for her feet and tried to stick them in his mouth, haha! And when we had them on the floor together they kept grabbing each others hands... so cute! I love hanging out with mommy friends and seeing our babies grow and interact! Being a mommy is seriously the most awesome thing in the world!

Auria woke up with her daddy at 4am and she's napping now so I think I'm gonna try to get a little more rest while I can!
