3 Months old came to fast!

I still find it hard to believe that Mary Claire is already 3 months old! Goodness where have the weeks gone??! She is such a sweet and happy baby! 

Here are some facts about her at this age:

- She loves to snuggle! 
- She still loves her paci
- Her hair is still dark and she has only lost a little compared to how much Mallory lost. I don't think the dark hair will stay though!
- She spits up more than you can imagine! But I will take the dirty laundry! 
- Her reflux is still under control with Zantac and we give it to her 2 times a day. She takes 1.2 ml.
- She is loving bath time so much now that she is kicking water all over me and my kitchen floor!
- She is drinking 6 ounces but sometimes will only drink 5. 
- We are still on similac sensitive 
- She is smiling lots and try's to talk too! She just loves to be talked to! 
- I think she weighs around 12 pounds 
- She is sleeping from about 8:30 to 5ish which is great! 
- Mallory stills adores her baby sister! 
- She is still sleeping in the rock in play and sleeps so much better with white noise playing.
- We are still swaddling her! Whoever invented those Velcro swaddle blankets knew what they were doing! I couldn't live with out that right now! 
- She goes to work with me while Mallory is at play school 3 mornings a week and usually doesn't make a peep! 
- She has good head control now. 
- She can still wear 0-3 months clothes, but they are getting tight so we are now starting to use 3 months. 

She is just such a doll and her smiles just melt my heart! I know we are truly blessed! I seriously can't imagine life with out my sweet girls! 

This past weekend, we met our friends the Sweatt's from Georgia in Gulf Shores at the bay house. We met this sweet couple when we lived in Valdosta, Georgia and have been great friends ever since! Even though we now have 7 hours between us , we still make time at least once a year to get together! This was our second year in a row to head to Gulf Shores. They now have 2 little girls like we do. Their oldest is in kindergarten and youngest just turned 1. Man how fun it was to just hang out like old times and also get to see their sweet girls! Mallory and Anna play really well together and had a lot of fun! We went to the beach, had a shrimp boil, went shopping at the outlet mall and also went swimming. It was a fun few days, but seemed way to short! I had a hard time not shedding a tear when we said our goodbyes! Hoping it's not another year before we get to see them again! God definitely blessed us when he put them in our life! 

I guess we are now back to reality ! Looking forward to John's mom coming for a few days this next week! Here are some recent pictures of our trip and of Mary Claire at 3 months old! Enjoy!
