I cannot BELIEVE this baby is 3 months old. We love her more and more each day - she keeps us laughing and giggling and, well, busy. :) I just love being around her and am so thankful that I am able to spend each day with this cutie baby.
A day in the life of Lainey...
1. Wake up around 6/6:30 and eating
2. Nap about an hour after she awakens. This is the only nap I can really count on, and it's usually a long one. :) Love it! I can get some things accomplished.
3. Eat again around 9:30/10. Nap sometime after that.
4. This continues...eating every 3-4 hours, and sleeping at some point between feedings. If we're home, she'll nap in her crib. Usually her naps are about 30-45 minutes long. Sometimes she'll take two short ones; rarely will she take a long nap in the daytime.
5. Bath and bedtime - around 8/8:30. And she's finally sleeping consistently well without her Miracle Blanket. :)

Lainey loves...
1. fans and light fixtures (still).
2. my desk and the surrounding items. I have no idea what attracts her to that area, but she always smiles and coos at whatever is there. I think it might be the chair.
3. people who smile and talk to her.
4. attention.
5. binkies.
6. being held facing outward so she can see everything.
7. the mobile on her swing. She coos and talks to the moving animals.
8. evening walks outside in the Baby Bjorn. She always falls asleep at some point.
9. being outside, even in this horribly hot weather. UGH. It is so stinking hot.
10. TV! I can't believe how this baby zones in on it. I don't put her in front of the TV but sometimes she catches glimpses!! She really likes it. I hope she likes the Olympics as much as I do because we're certainly going to watch them. YAY!! So excited!
11. baths and being wrapped up in a towel after the bath.
12. eating. I thinks she weighs around 15 pounds.
13. anything attached to/touching her that can go in her mouth: entire hand, pacifier clip, finger(s), dress, strap covers on her car seat.
14. her family! :)

New toys....
1. the jump-a-roo (so funny- she looks TINY in it but she is so entertained by the lights and sounds and objects)
2. the swing
3. her Bebe Pod (the Bumbo replacement when the Bumbo disappeared for a while)
4. the bouncy seat bar attachment with lots of moving objects and lights and sounds
5. books and the pictures in them...although she generally only lets me get through one (sometimes two) before getting antsy

Things that are less than exciting...
1. her bouncy seat by itself
2. her activity mat (So sad...I love that thing.) She still likes it, but it just doesn't hold her attention for very long anymore.
3. the booger-sucker (gross, I know)
4. being held in a cuddly position (giant sad face by me)
5. Reagan's loud barks - they're quite startling.
6. pedicures and manicures

We love you, Lainey Cathryn!! :)
in the jump-a-roo
Lainey's cute little feet (and the ever-present binkie) just dangling. There is no jumping yet in the jump-a-roo. It's simply a place to hang out right now.
This celebutant is getting a little weary of the paparazzo.
