3 Months Old!

Kaia is 3 months old today! In some ways it seems to have gone by so quickly, and in others it seems that she's been part of our family for longer! I was looking at pictures of our friends Bridget and Dan's new baby Liam, and it's hard to believe how much Kaia has grown in such a short amount of time. She's such a good baby and we're so blessed. She's really starting to use her voice now and I think she's going to be a chatterbox! She loves to have people talk to her and she loves to "talk" back.

We didn't do too much to celebrate today. Josh has been out of town for a couple days working and getting our new apartment ready, so it was just Kaia and I. It was rainy this afternoon, so we just stayed in and played with the new play gym we got her this week. She loves it! She can't pull on the toys yet, but she loves to look at them and talk to them. She loves to look at herself in the baby mirror-she smiles every time she catches a glimpse of herself. We're looking forward to seeing her learn to play more and more each day.

Sooner than expected...

After I entered my last posting Kaia decided to roll all the way over for the first time!! I knew it was coming soon, but never expected her to do it within an hour of my last posting!!

Smiling and laughing before rolling over...



She made it all the way over all by herself!!!

Kaia has a new friend!

Congratulations to our friends Daniel and Bridget on the birth of their baby boy yesterday! Liam Patrick was born exactly 3 months from Kaia's due date! We're so happy for their new family and Kaia's excited to have a new friend to play with!

We are doing well. It was a crazy week last week-both Josh and I came down with the flu. All of Josh's family had it the 2 weeks before and we thought we'd miss it when we went down to visit, but ended up with it anyway. So my first week staying home was not quite what I had anticipated! But we're better now and Kaia hasn't seemed to pick it up, and we're hoping this week goes a little better!

Kaia's getting bigger every day and is almost out of her size 3 mo clothes! She's so close to rolling over, but can't quite get over her right arm. I think she'll get it in the next few weeks! She loves trying to reach for her toys and is getting better hand-eye coordination. And she's discovered the t.v., so she was glued to the Hawkeye game this weekend. She wouldn't even look away when I tried to feed her! So we just sat on the couch and watched the game together! Although I don't blame her...being a Hawkeye is in her blood!!
