Three Months

 Our little Heidi-Bug is 3 Months Old! 

 She is generally easy-going but plenty expressive when she wants to be.  She smiles easily but also will 'yell' when she is unhappy.  I don't really remember Allison 'yelling' she just seemed rather pathetic when she was upset.

 We don't have a doctor appointment for 3 months so I don't know exactly how big Heidi is but she seems to keep growing and growing (and she's finally growing into her cheeks!).  Here are a few details of Heidi at this age:
Nickname:  I picked up the habit of calling her 'Heidi-bug' some time ago, but it has since been shortened to just 'bug.'  Mark found it pretty confusing until I explained I think it is kind of a spin on 'Lady Bug.'
Sleeping:  Heidi is great at going down for naps, they just aren't the longest naps in the world.  She usually has one 2 hour nap a day, the rest are 1-1.5 hrs.  At night - well she is a champ!  She goes down at 7 pm and gets fed somewhere between 2:30-4:30 and then keeps sleeping until 7 or later most mornings.  I've had to start waking her up in the morning so we can get going to work and that is painful!  There is nothing worse than waking a sleeping baby.
Eating:  Heidi has been getting a bottle regularly since I've been working and she takes it okay - the first bottle of the day is generally not her favorite but she eats pretty well in the afternoon.
Activities:  Heidi still loves tummy time.  And she has successfully rolled herself over 4 times or so.  I don't think she realizes what is happening when she does it.  She also loves to hang out on her changing table and look at her shelves.  Especially when she doesn't have any clothing on, it cheers her up no matter what sort of mood she is in.  Heidi also really enjoys her bouncy seat and play gym with animals - she sits and has very exciting conversations with her 'friends' - there is nothing like seeing her light up at her toy owl!
Social Life:  After two days Heidi seems to enjoy daycare.  She is cheerful there and likes to see all the other kiddos.  She sleeps easily and eats relatively well.  She comes home very tired and sleeps great for us.  We're thankful she has such a wonderful place to go during the day.  And Allison loves having her there, too, since she occasionally gets to come in her room.  Allison also asks all the teachers if they've seen her baby sister yet.  She is quite the proud big sister.

We are so thankful for our little Heidi-bug and can't imagine life without her!
