Strawberry

We tried on Lillian's costume today. It was rather cute. I wanted her to be a snail, but Sean thought it was too demeaning. So, she's a strawberry baby. There really aren't many choices for this age. Pea pod, or cob of corn or an elephant where the mask wouldn't stay on, were her main choices. When she gets bigger, hopefully, I'll have enough time to sew and can make her something cute.

Sleepy


I thought this was adorable and worthy of its own post. My little pissed off, sleepy baby.

Yummy Bunny

We have a new friend: Yummy Bunny. She gets this name because whenever Lillian grabs her, she tries to eat her. This happens with most of her toys. Its constant, however, with Yummy Bunny.

Three Months

She was following the bunny intently, until bunny ended up on her head. It was really cute to watch. She learned rather quickly that if she looked down, soon she would see bunny again.

the What to Expect the First Year book. And while it generally sucks, I enjoy reading the what your baby can do sections. This is mostly because I have a talented baby.

Baby should be able to:
~Lift head 45 degrees when on stomach- yes, she loves tummy time


Will probably be able to:
~Laugh out loud- she laughs, but it very much is her hearing us laugh and attempting to mimic it. Its adorable
~Lift head 90 degrees- yes
~Squeal- if making different pitches of noises counts, then yes. She loves singing
~Bring both hands together- yes, and hold things between them sometimes, too
~Smile spontaneously- definitely
~Follow an object held about 6 inches above baby's face for 180 degrees- this was last month


May possibly be able to:
~Hold head steady when upright-yes, until she gets tired.
~Raise chest when on stomach- not really. You can position her arms under her in such a way that it is possible, but that would be considered cheating.
~Roll over, front to back- yes and no. If you put her in the correct position, she can. But even then its hit and miss.
~Grasp a rattle- yes and she shakes it. I'm not so sure if she realizes that her shaking the rattle is what is making the noise, though.
~Pay attention to an object as small as a raisin- Haven't tested this.


May even be able to:
~Bear some weight on legs if held- she loves doing this. If she's not too tired, she'll laugh and laugh.
~Reach for an object- If its close enough she'll hit it or mess with it, but she's not too keen on straining for an object.
~Keep head level with body when pulled to sitting- this has happened before.
~Turn in the direction of a voice- sometimes, if she cares.
~Say vowel-consonant combinations, like "ah-goo"- I've heard that word before. This has become more rare since she has figured out that she can control the pitch of her voice.
~Razz- she can make a gurgly or bubbly noise. Last week was the razzy noises, this week, she seems to be focusing on making smacking noises.

Eating Ida

Lillian has learned how to push things toward and sometimes into her mouth. Ida the inchworm is currently one of her favourite toys because she is long and has lots of little leg things that are relatively easy to grab onto. She's just thin enough for Lillian to wrap her arms around, as well.

Squirmy

She worked very hard to get her arms out of the swaddle me. Its amazing to watch her wiggle around and finally get them out. And she is so proud of herself when she does this.
She can now pronounce an 'm' sound. It means things that sound like 'mom' are starting to come out of her mouth. Its awesome. I'm all proud and stuff.

Nom Nom Nom


Yummy baby! She is surprisingly unaffected by being eaten.

Early, early this morning, after her nightly feed, she did this really cute thing in her sleep. Apparently, if you kiss her cheek while she's alseep, she'll smile. The length of the smile is dependant on the legnth of the kiss.
