Big Girl...

Riley is a very active baby so i always have to change up our routine, otherwise she gets bored. Isn't that suppose to come later in life?? Anyways today i decided to drag out the high chair. No she's not big enough to sit up by herself yet or eat solid foods. But i figured if i stuffed a blanket around her she could sit up (she prefers NOT to lay down now!) That lasted for about 10 minutes and that's only because the t.v. was on. I know it's bad for her to watch t.v.....especially this young, but i figured right now she's probably just looking at it for the bright lights and colors. So its ok.....or at least that's what i tell myself!

We've also been trying to do more 'tummy time' to "fix" her bald spot that is starting to form and to help her strengthen her neck muscles, but she HATES to be on her belly. I guess its because we didn't put her on her stomach any when she was first born, but we keep trying to make her like it...

Some updates:

• she drools WAY more now....hopefully the teeth will wait until i get finished with school!!
• she sucks on her bottom lip while she's awake instead of her paci
• she eats 5oz. every 3hrs for my grandmother and 2-3oz. every 3-4hrs for everyone else (not sure what thats about but we're working on it!)
• she sleeps alot less during the day, making it difficult to get anything done
• she still doesn't sleep through the night
• she likes her bouncy seat b/c when she kicks it lights up!
• she's out of newborn clothes but only b/c she's soooo long
• she's laughing and smiling alot more....and it's just precious!
• she turns her head towards people talking to her or sounds she likes (and sometimes she avoids looking at momma b/c she knows her picture is about to be taken!!)
• and she's kinda developing a little attitude
• Oh...and she's 3 months old now. I can't believe it!!

The bumbo seat with a little "headrest" added.
