3 months

I did a little 3 month photo shoot Wednesday, thankful that it was finally warm enough to do it outside. The photos just look better when you take them outside.
I wish I had some stats I could post about how she's growing, but alas she STILL hasn't had her two month well visit. Sigh. I've got to call and make an appointment tomorrow. She is growing, I can tell, but it would be nice to know specifically.
She makes lots of noises and blows raspberries at me all the time, something that Judah never really did. She loves "talking" to me (or anyone else, really) and I'll hold her and we'll coo back and forth. It is wonderful. She is also almost laughing. I've gotten some really good chortles out of her, so I know we are getting close to the belly laughing stage. I can't wait.
She isn't rolling over yet but she is also really close because when she is tired of the bouncy seat she arches her back in such a way that she almost flips over. I realized this week I need to strap her in or she's going to vault out of that thing.

Sleep is still an adjustment, but I decided that she would probably do better if I just moved her to the crib. I also think I'll do better because I don't sleep well when she is in our room in the bassinet. She is also starting to sleep less well in the swing so I think it's time. I foresee a lot of coffee in my future this week.

Sleep deprivation aside, Naomi has really been a wonderful addition to our family.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
