Dear Alexis,
I'm not sure how 3 months has gone by already, but sure enough it has. You are getting to be such a big girl! You are a joy and a blessing to your Daddy and I. We love you so much!! You make us smile and laugh everyday. You're starting to develop a personality and love to be in the center of things like your mommy - you certainly won't be a wallflower. You are fairly independent and are stubborn and impatient...guess where you got those things from haha. Yup - me and your Daddy. I love when you smile at me and when you do your little giggles. Life is so much sweeter with you in it sweet girl and I love you with all of my heart. I always look forward to the evenings because we get to cuddle and play. I love that you still love to sleep in my arms :) You're growing up too fast for my liking but I'm enjoying every minute and look forward to everything that's ahead. I love you lovebug.

Feeding: You eat a 6 oz. bottle for your first and last feedings of the day and then 4 oz. every 2-3 hours in between.
Diaper size: Size two
Routine: Sometimes you wake up on your own, but generally I wake you up at 6:30 to eat. Then you burp :) Then we get you all dressed and ready for school! (You always look so cute!!) I drop you off at daycare around 7:20 - although we need to start leaving earlier now that school has started. You eat and play all day long until mommy picks you up about 5:40. Then we go home and go for a walk! You usually pass out before we even round the corner. You sleep until about 7 and then you have a bottle between 7 & 7:30. You play and talk until about 8:30 and you go to sleep for about an hour. You get your last bottle around 9:30 and then you're straight to sleep!!

Funniest moments: You "talk" A LOT now and love to hear yourself talk lol. You crack me up how you'll talk to anyone and anything who will listen. You've found your hands and like to see how far you can get them in your mouth and often choke yourself. I think you're realizing you have feet because you stare at them as you wiggle your toes and you coo at them. It's pretty funny. You also go rigid straight when we hold you up in the air - like a plank...so we took a picture of you planking haha.
Milestones: You really know mommy and daddy now and smile at familiar faces. You've found your hands and you're starting to notice your feet. You "talk" all the time too. You're trying to sit up and don't like reclining or laying down because you want to sit up. We're working on balance while you sit with assistance. You stand with assistance now too, which is crazy to me, but you get SO excited when standing. We can also have you sitting and you'll stand up while holding onto our hands. Just don't walk before you crawl little one!!
