And I would say she sure is a happy baby these days--although she is currently sick with a cold so happy might not be the first word I would use to describe her.
At 3 months, this girl weighs in at 13 pounds, 7 oz!
She is becoming more and more expressive every day. This is her--seriously-enough-with-the-camera-face.
And her "Daddy--you are freaking me out with your crazy singing" face...
We have also been working on the dreaded Tummy time, which she is getting better at and can go about a minute before really starting to cry. Doing it ON Nate has been helpful.
And we introduced the Bumbo Chair...maybe a tish too soon but she seems to like it, and it is hilarious when she finds her feet.
As we crossed the 3 month mark, I am thankful I work for a company that is allowing me to stay out for 5 months. While I am totally stoked to go back to the wonderful world of adults, and challenging my brain in different ways beyond worrying about blood flecks in diaper, sleep schedules and baby development--I can't imagine taking Matilda to daycare today, or tomorrow for that matter. I am sure even at 5 months I won't want to do it and it will seem too soon, but for now I am thankful to be home with her.
Lesson I Learned This Week: No matter how many times you wash your hands, and use hand sanitizer if you or your husband is sick, your baby is going to catch it.

Is that a fist pump I see in her 3-month old picture at the top? Daddy is doing a big fist pump for having such a cute little kid!
Hope Til feels better soon!!! She is getting to be quite the chunk!!!

Nate good for you for making your daughter react to something goofy you are doing. This can be a very strong tool for you in the future as it may help her behave or daddy will embarrass you. Hone your skills now when she won't really remember but when you engage the tactic there will be a hauntingly familiar sense of dejavu to make it really sink in. Of course there might be some therapy needed but that is the price to pay for raising a child.

Todd I totally agree with that stlye of parenting. I am not shy to admit I will be raising Matilda using mainly "Shame" and "Embrassment" as a means of getting her to stay out of trouble. PS - Greta does not agree with me on this point, but I'll get her to come around yet! :)
I got your back Nate.
