I'm a happy sweet girl!

Things I have learned in my short 13 weeks.
- I love smiling. Smiling is my favorite!
- I love sleeping through the night. I have been sleeping 10-13 hours straight and this is M&D favorite thing that I do!
-I love to stand on feet! I grab on to MorD hands and they pull me up and I love using my strong leg muscles to stand and wobble around. I've learned to grab on to the side of the crib and hold myself up too.
- I love playing in the park (our floor play mat) I have birdie friends that I love to play with. One sounds like a bird and the other is a rattle and I can watch all the balls move around when I shake it.
- I love to talk. I say all kinds of words and I like to try to repeat what M & D are saying but mostly I like when they copy me.
- I love looking at the mirror. It makes me happy and I smile big and giggle. I figured out it was me a couple weeks ago when mommy was pointing at me in the mirror and I kept jumping.
- I love getting kissed and loved. M&D smother me!
- I love to listen to music and watch M&D dance and sing to me. I'm starting to dance a little myself.
- I love waking up from a Nap
- I love to watch "toon toons" the images on the tv, the music, the color.. it all gets my attention and I think it is soo funny!
- I'm learning to be on my belly and hold my chest and head up high. I'm getting stronger but I don't quite love it yet.
- I'm close to rolling over and I know with a little more practice I'll have it figured out. M&D continue to help me learn.
- I've learned to sit up for about 5 seconds without folding over onto my face. M&D are so proud of me and I like to hear them cheering me on.
-I've learned to hold my bottle for short periods of time. The longest I've held it is for about 15 seconds.
-I'm starting to suck my thumb (AND FIST) and I do it very awkwardly. Mom thinks it is so cute..
-My MOST FAVORITE thing to do now is to SWIM! I LOVE SWIMMING! mommy puts me in the bathtub with a couple inches of water and I have FREEDOM! I kick and splash and have so much fun! I love to stay in my "swimming pool" for over 30 minutes and I don't like when I have to get out!
Here are a few pictures of me in action:
