3 month birthday!

Baby bug is 3 months old today!  Hooray!  So in honor of her 3 month birthday, we attempted an indoor photo shoot.  The plan was to do it outside, but it's freezing!  Just because it's spring doesn't mean it's warm!  And of course we had to take the standard month-day picture on her chair.

And a little comparison...

She has been doing much better lately, as long as we don't miss her tired signs and get her in to bed for naps promptly, she's a very happy baby.  I think she was just so tired from our adventures and everything was catching up to her.  Poor baby.  But we've had a totally low key week, so she's slowly catching up on sleep (I think), which makes for a happier baby, and a happier mommy and daddy!  You may be wondering how it's going with her naps, and the crying... well, I was pretty conflicted as to whether or not I was ready for her to "cry it out" quite yet.  She's still so little, and I know sometimes it's necessary, but I think she's not quite ready for it.  And frankly, neither am I.  Now that she is a little more rested, she's been a little easier to get to sleep (both naps so far today she went down with no crying, we just had to rock her until she was quite sleepy and then put her to bed).  So basically we don't let her cry anymore.  It was short-lived.  Maybe when she's like 5 or 6 months if we're having sleep troubles, we'll revisit the idea.  But things (fingers crossed) are going well for the moment.

In other good news, one week after starting the 30 day shred/ eating a little bit healthier, I have lost 3 pounds!!  Wahoooooo!  Still a ways to go, but hey, it's a start! My goal is to be at my "goal weight" by Christmas, so we'll see!
