Harlow-3 months

I guess since Harlow had her four month appointment yesterday, I am officially behind with her. Oh well...give it a few months and I wont care that I couldn't be a little more timely with this and I'll just be glad that I did it at all. 

Harlow at 3 months is just like Harlow at 1 month, 2 months (and 4)---sweet and calm as can be. I keep waiting for her personality to do a flip flop on me, but so far she continues to be easy going, super smiley and a dream baby for me. I remember when I used to do these posts for Ruby, I would have a hard time at this age catching pictures of her big smile. With this girl, however, I can almost not help but get smiley pictures every time I pick up my camera.

This is how she wakes up. Even in the early morning hours after her 6 hour stretch in the night I know she's awake because I can hear her talking/singing to herself. I've never had a cheerful waker, so I think it's pretty amazing.

Happy to hang out in the bouncer while I make dinner.

Her laugh is low and gurgley and just as infectious as her smile.

While she sleeps is one of the few times she's not smiling.

Harlow is my only child that has not slept in our room for the first 3 months of life. The bassinet we had for her was too small from day one home from the hospital. (Have I mentioned that my girl is off the charts tall?) Sam convinced me to put her in the crib right away and just use a video baby monitor to keep an eye on her. I was reluctant, but it has really seemed to work for her. I think it's made her a better sleeper at night, but I do miss having her nearby sometimes. Watching her on the monitor is not quite the same, but it still makes me smile.

She's still loves to "talk", and we love to talk back. She prefers to listen to and mimic lower tones and I love it. It looks like she and Sam are having the quite the conversation here.

Harlow has Heterochromia iridum, which just means she has two different colored eyes. You don't really notice it too much, but in this picture it's pretty prominent. Just one more thing that makes her special.

She's still a very popular gal in our house and still gets fought over now and again.

Obviously, she takes it all in stride.

Even with all the eager Harlow holders, Sam still gets his fair share of time toting her around.

Sam's not the only one that gets to take her off my hands once in a while.

Aside from being everyone's favorite, she is getting cuter and stronger everyday. The kids absolutely love it when she shows off her skills. Lifting your head is pretty exciting stuff over here.

It's hard to believe we've only had this sweet girl for three months (ok..actually 4). She really is such a happy little person and we are thrilled that she is ours.
