3 Months

Miranda turned 3 months old earlier this week! She is starting to become a much happier baby on this new diet, with the exception of the last 2 horrible days and nights (I must've eaten something I shouldn't have). This morning she is back to her happy self and is actually taking a nap without me holding her!
I had the exersaucer out for another baby that was over and I put Miranda in it to see if she would fit yet. To my surprise she did and she loved it! She is starting to really be able to bat at toys and even was grabbing some of the different toys and stuffing them in her mouth! She loves to put her hands in her mouth and often gags on them as she sticks them too far back.

I tried to do a photoshoot and didn't have much luck as she wouldn't keep her hands out of her mouth. She was also mesmerized by the backdrop and kept grabbing it and stuffing it in her mouth. Her daddy finally came home and she gave him a good smile...one of the few good pictures.

Bri wanted to be in some pictures...don't mind that her hair is out of control. She loves her sister! She is always touching Panda's cheeks and saying "Oh, cutie pie!" When we were at Miranda's GI appointment she weighed 11 lbs 8 oz, she's gaining weight fast. She's working on some serious thighs!!! Bri was almost the exact same weight at this age. She also measured 21 inches long...another shorty on our hands!

Miranda starting laughing about 2 weeks ago, but she still mostly just laughs in her sleep. It's so funny to suddenly hear her giggle when she's snoozing away. She loves to coo and goo when you're playing with her and she's quick to give a huge grin.

Many nights Miranda has slept from about 10 or 11 at night until 6 or 6:30 in the morning!!!! What a blessing! This is still in a swing so we need to transition her into her crib but she usually doesn't sleep more than 10 minutes in there. The last few days when she was really fussy she couldn't stay asleep. I was up at 1:30 in the morning and she never did go back to sleep without suddenly arching in pain and squirming. She had a really bad tummy for 2 days and I'm trying to figure out what I ate to cause that. She had been doing much better on the diet and I've even lost 4 lbs in the last week and a half!!! That's one good thing about not being able to eat anything! I'm also getting better at figuring out things I can eat or make allergy free versions of!

We love our Panda! I'm always happy to hit the 3 month mark when the colicky evenings start to fade and more smiles appear. Here's to happier days and nights!
