Oh, how fun it is to watch our babies grow...!
It's hard to believe ~ three months have gone by since the day Greta was born.
She is such a little bundle of absolute joy! In the past month, she has grown out of her 0-3 month clothing, and is now mostly in 3-6 months. She smiles a lot and loves to coo and mimic our voices when we talk to her. She seems to be bursting at the seams to say what's on her mind, and I'm certain that she'll have much to share before we know it...! Greta loves going for walks, riding in the Sleepy Wrap with Mommy and also enjoys her swing. She's starting to use her binky less and less, only occasionally when she's sleepy now. She also loves to study her hands and stare up at the toys that dangle from her play mat. (Birds, ladybugs, and a little mirror). I can often find her smiling at herself in the mirror - so cute! I'm sure it's a treat for her to see such a beautiful happy face looking back at her! Greta also loves her big brothers and enjoys being held by Mommy & Daddy too, of course. In the past few weeks, she has been sleeping for 5-6 hour stretches at night. Just last night, she slept from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. and then back to sleep from about 2:15 to 5:15...and then slept further, from 5:40 to around 8:30. She's a good little sleeper.
Here she is with her teddy bear at three months old, below.

And below is a photo of Greta at just one month old.
The time is flying by so quickly, we are relishing every moment with our sweet baby girl. I think God knew that her Mommy would need a very sweet and mellow baby at the age of 40, busy with two big boys and a part-time childcare job. She is such a patient and pleasant little thing. Her brothers too, were very good babies - but Greta seems to be even more able to tune out all the noise and chaos of a busy household. Oh, how we LOVE our baby Greta!
