3 Months on Thursday!

Arden is almost 3 months, and it's starting to show! We've had a busy couple of weeks, starting to get onto a schedule that has her eating less frequently, taking a trip to Fire Island for a weekend, Arden starting to hold her head up much more frequently, and just today we caught her new trick on film....giggling!

Arden is now 12 pounds and can now follow objects across the room - including mommy and daddy. Here comes the fall, and bigger clothes as she doesn't fit in her newborn clothes anymore!

The Swing Works

So I have to concede that the swing helps! I think the best strategy to pacifying Arden is having a wide range of methods to do so. (swing, crib, sling, ergo, me)

We are adjusting to the first week of Amber being at work full time. It's difficult! Amber misses Arden very much.

I forgot to mention that Arden weighed in at around 11.5 lbs at her two month visit. She's close to 12 lbs. by now!

She still hasn't lost her hair or her blue eyes :) She is also seeming to get into a recognizable sleeping pattern during the day; Two mini naps at 10 and 1, and one larger one around 3 or 4. These are times when I "rest" by practicing and cleaning up.

My iPhone has been very helpful as I can check my e-mail as I walk around with Arden to get her sleepy!
