fun full day

me & baby d.
my friend stacy and i had a mary kay consultation today. i really like what she recommended for my eyes. diedre is wearing an outfit from grandma jen with ruffles on the bum, but i'm not sure you can see it here.

today, we went to a mom & me group and saw tara and rachel who had their babies on feb 25. (they were from our prenatal class). tara told me that i must have good strong genes because she could see the resemblance. i really loved the mom & me group. it was really cool to sit with a room full of new moms and hear about all the different experiences.

apparently their is a tuesday group too that meets later and includes lunch, we'll probably check that out next week. and the moms from the wednesday group also go on walks every thursday. i don't know if i'll go for that at this point, but we'll see.

i saw a 5 day old yesterday when i went to vote and she was so little. i miss little tiny diedre. but the 11 week old diedre is so fun. (she just yelled out b/c her music stopped)
she's so smiley and responsive to us.
she is very close to rolling over.
and from just 4 days of tummy time (laying totally on her tummy, not with a towel rolled up) she can lift her head pretty high. the first day she was just licking the blanket, now she can turn her head side to side and even grab at toys in front of her.
she is becoming so much more expressive verbally. its very cute to watch her figure out her mouth and her vocals.

she needs help getting to sleep almost every time (naps & night time). we swaddle her and bounce, rock, walk and shush her. lately its taken close to 1 hour for bed time, but sometimes only 10 minutes for a nap to work. she is still sleeping about 5 hours straight at night, then feeds, then sleeps for 2-3 more hours.

we're figuring things out and she is just about better from her cold. so that will make a difference too. she's nearly 3 months old and is definitely having a growth spurt (eating every hour for several hours each day!!!)
