While we were back in Calgary our little girl turned three months old! Amazing how fast she is growing! Eliza continues to develop her own little unique personality. She has changed a lot in the past month and although she is still very strong willed and determined she has mellowed quite a bit. The stomach issues seem to have passed and she seems much more comfortable. Although this little monkey still has very strong opinions (still not a fan of her carseat although she traveled fabulously during the long drive to Calgary) she is relaxing more and becoming a pretty happy little girl.
She loves to smile - especially in the mirror or at her brothers when they are doing some crazy dance to get her attention. She has the sweetest giggle and loves to be tickled. She is cooing so much. Much more than the boys ever did and loves to have little conversations with anyone who will listen. She is eating well and I am quite certain she is gaining well - you should see the rolls in her legs! She has rolled over a few times from her stomach to back but is currently desperately trying to roll over from her back to her stomach. She tries so hard and I think it is driving her crazy that she can't! She always wants to move or stand...she reminds me of Sam in that way and he was an early walker so I am preparing that she might follow suit. I think her most favorite thing every is her bath. She could be crankier than ever or even hysterically screaming but the minute you lay her down on the bathmat she stops. By the time you run her tub she is all giggles again and loves to splash away. As a result she gets a bath every night. It is one of her best times of the day!
She had been sleeping quite well but has just exchanged one cold for another and is up much more as she is so congested. She is also working hard to break through her swaddle at nights, however, of course once she gets out of it, she is in constant motion and can't settle back into sleep unless re swaddled. Silly girl.
She truly loves her brothers and they adore her. Recently Sam told me that Dad gets the most conversations out of Eliza but he gets the most smiles. He is probably right. He is always there trying to entertain her and she loves it. Cole tries too but doesn't have the patience to wait it out for a smile but is still thrilled with her and tells everyone that he loves his new baby sister. We couldn't have asked for a smoother transition for the boys.
She is just such a sweet little thing and in our opinion cute as a button!
