GENEVIEVE'S GRACE: February 2015

GREAT GRANDMA GENEVIEVES TEDDY BEAR WATCHING OVER ME

So since Grammy is trying to keep a real record of my first years progress , it is time for her to write another little note on all that I am doing now, and it is a lot! I am having more and more fun every day!
    So i'm not sure exactly how much I weigh, but it is around 12 lbs. Growing so much and i am really enjoying my breast feeding, and mommy laughs and says she is just like a cow, making plenty of milk for me. We do enjoy our breast feeding time together, and when mommy has to go to work, she makes sure that I have plenty of frozen milk for grandma to feed me when I am over at grammy's house when mommy and daddy go to work.
     I am sleeping now all night, and everyone is so happy about that! I am doing very well sleeping in my own crib in my own room which is so pretty and just my style. Mommy and daddy recently bought me my own changing table, and wow! Now i even have heated wipes. HOW TO SPOIL A GIRL!
     I am also really smiling a lot when I see the faces of people that I love, and who love me. My little smile just BEAMS OUT! and of course i am as cute as can be. When I smile, EVERYONE ELSE SMILES TOO.   I am also learning to talk a little bit with carefully dispensed "coos", and babbling sounds. I have got some really cute expressions when I am talking and AUNTY HEATHER says that she could just sit all day and look at my face with these expressions. Something that everyone wants to remember forever.

     I am also beginning to enjoy going on little outings. Last week, mommy and grammy took me over to the Dallas Arboretum for a little stroller outing. Mommy made sure that I got to sit up and look around, and especially to see the water pond. I really enjoyed seeing all that is around me, and am paying more and more attention to all that I see.

    In addition to starting to talk to my friends, I am also beginning to learn to blow some tiny raspberries with my lips, and as soon as I do it, I am very pleased with my self, and then let a big smile out at whoever is around to see me practicing this. That is a lot of fun Grammy is pretty sure that I am going to get better and better at doing this stuff, especially as soon as I start eating foods, and especially spinach. That will be fun to spit out with my raspberries. Grammy remembers some times when my mommy practiced t hat. Especially fun when the person helping me is wearing something white.. So far though, I am very happy just having my breast milk that mommy makes especially for me, and will not be starting any new foods for awhile. All I really need now is my mommy's milk, and that is giving me all of the vitamins and stuff that I need to grow healthy and strong.

I am loving my colorful toys, and am trying my best to find out how to open my hands up so I can grab ahold of all of those beautiful colorful butterflies and other toys. Grammy and mommy have both gotten me a floor play mat, and what fun t hat is to lay on the floor with all of those fun toys around me. I think my favorite thing to do though is to look at the baby I see in little mirrors. She is like a little playmate to talk to.
     I am liking my swing more and more every day too, and really like seeing the hippos going around in circles around me and hear the music playing. Grammy and mommy have both put some special "me music" on their phones for me to listen to, and I do like those songs and take a good nap when they are playing.
     I love being in a place where I know I am a very loved little girl, and everyone is telling me that I am going to have blue eyes like my Daddy! Right now , I also even have his hair style, but I don't think that will stay the same. Definitely looking a lot like daddy though, with a big dimple in my chin, and a very cute LITTLE ME DADDY FACE". It is fun going on weekends to Grammy and Grampy's house too, where they both try to pamper me a lot!   They are having a lot of fun having me around as they have never had a baby living so close to them before. So really, it is a lot of fun being THREE MONTHS OLD
