Three Month Dr.'s Appt
This morning mama and daddy took me for my 3 month well baby visit.
Everything went really great, and thank goodness I didn't have to get any shots!! I now weigh 10 lbs 12 oz and am 23 inches long. Dr. Beck said I look great and seem to be right on track developmentally! That's always good to know.
He also said he thinks I am probably going to be pretty fair complected, like my daddy. I get red spots on my skin in the places where I sweat (neck,arms) and he said that is usually a sign of fair skin.
As for everything else, mama said she is going to take me to wal-mart sometime soon to get my three month old portrait done. She is also thinking of having a man we know from church take a family picture of us in the park, once the leaves get pretty.

Growing more . . . every day!
This was another exciting week of "firsts" for me!
First of all, this past Monday (Labor Day) mommy and daddy took me to visit Grandma and Grandpa Smith! It was the first time I have ever been to their house. And I loved it! I saw my first Amish buggy and went inside my first barn (too bad there were no horses in it though! ha!) I also got to spend some quality time with grandma and grandpa. Grandma makes me laugh and grandpa reminds me a lot of my daddy! And I slept the entire car ride, both ways! That's a total of six hours in the car! Mom and dad were so proud.
Also, today was the first time I took a nap in my crib. Mom has tried to lay me down in it before, but I usually prefer my bassinet, right next to mom and dad's bed. But today I decided that, since I am such a big girl, I would give it a try. Daddy layed me down in my crib while mom was at the grocery, and I slept great! Mommy hopes I decide to stay in my crib for good! She might even try to lay me down in it for the night tonight. I"ll let you know what I think!
And the biggest news of all is . . . . . I LAUGHED OUT LOUD TODAY!! Woo Hoo!
Daddy had me on the floor for some play time and was singing to me and giving me kisses, and I let out my first laugh! I said "Ha"! I did it one more time for him and a little bit later for mommy. They were both so excited.
I am now almost 12 weeks old. Mom says that's a big deal. She is going to take me to Wal Mart soon to get my pictures done. She's also taking me to get the rest of my two month old immunizations on Wednesday. I think the picture thing sounds more fun.
Also, I started sleeping 11 hours a night a few weeks ago. I drink my last bottle between 8 and 9:30pm, and then head to bed. I don't fuss at all when it's my bed time and don't make a peep until around 7am! Mom and dad say they know how blessed they are!
