Turkey And An Eventful Third Month

Enjoying her Thanksgiving meal

We're finding out just how many discoveries a baby can make in one month! First, she found that she can play a musical instrument because it's pretty cool sounding and fun too. Second, we play this game were we get her into a sitting position and then after counting to three pull a little on her were she responds by shooting up into a standing position and then looking around excitedly until she gets to tired and then sits back down until we do it again. Third, she loves to watch TV and movies. I mean she will just sit there on your lap or in her swing or laying down and stare at it. She'll even laugh and smile because of it. So far her favorites by how she acts are House, Sponge Bob, Barnyard, and Chronicles of Narnia just to mention a few. Fourth, Mini Mouse became her favorite toy to growl and wrestle with, although she also likes to get her big pink dog, blue vibrating elephant, and red monkey on a tree thing and every now and then her little brown Teddy Bear. It's so funny to see her face light up when she sees Mini and then start making growly noises before she even gets her hands on her! Fifth, on the same day she met Mini she also found her hands. She was playing with the mouse and then suddenly stopped and just stared at her hands for a few minutes. You could just see the wonderment in her eyes as she looked and grabbed her hands. Then pretty soon she was grabbing one fist and shoving it into her mouth which is definitely one of her favorite things to do right now. Some times she even spits out her bottle just so she can suck on her hands. Sixth, she took her first ride in DD's bouncer and thought it was one of the greatest things ever. She even started to drool even more because of how crazy and excited she was. It's pretty amazing to watch your little baby learning and discovering! She also is the biggest growler right now, almost non existent is the cooing of last month but it still makes us laugh so much! For Thanksgiving we had lunch at my parents house and dinner at Nyles Mom's house and we had fun with family the whole day. All I know is the two things I'm most thankful for are my wonderful husband and daughter of course :)!
