Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

3 Months and Counting...

 As any bad blogger would do, I'm smushing lots of updates into one blog post!  I apologize, again, for being so behind, but I suppose this is how it's going to be from now on!  Time not spent blogging is time spent with the fam or doing house things.  Eventually, it will also be time spent back at work (sniff, sniff).

Gemma is now THREE MONTHS OLD!  Can you believe it?  We can't. 

In the last few weeks, we've had lots of fun.  Gemma met her extended cousins, Faith and Noah, and had a barbecue with them and her cousin, Ava.  It was really fun seeing the baby girls together and comparing size and milestones - Faith is 7 months old, Ava is 6 months old and Gemma is 3 months old.
 We also took our trip to Washington while Daddy was away in San Diego at a bachelor party.  Here's our big girl the day before we left at 11 weeks old!
 That next week was spent doing lots and lots of house stuff for a few upcoming events (one of which was just this past weekend and will be blogged about NEXT).  The weather has been beautiful and Gemma's been sporting all of her cute hot summer outfits, like this bumble bee get-up in her 12 week photo!
 She also got to spend the opening weekend of football with her Daddy cheering on the Cowboys (bummer her cheering didn't help them win their first game!).  She even was sporting a Cowboys onesie, but girled up with ruffle shorts and a bow!  Turns out Gemma is NOT a fan of watching football with Daddy because his yelling at the TV startles her and she cries.
 This little one, on her three month birthday, is now a total wiggle worm.  She won't sit still.  She's also drooling a bit more and sucking on her hands and arms when she can get after them.  Her legs are getting so strong and she loves to kick at my arm while I'm feeding her and kick whatever surface comes into contact with her big ol' feet.
 Her pretty blue eyes always amaze me!  We weighed and measured her yesterday and she came in at 12 lbs 11 oz and 24 1/8 inches long.  She's a long and lean baby, although she sure does love to eat!
 She is also spending more and more time with her boy, Riley as he is getting over his wariness of her.  He'll sit with her leaning on him for a little bit now.  He also wants to bathe her in his kisses nonstop.  Which is fine before bath time, but otherwise gross.
We'll leave you with this picture of our Rasta Baby.  She's loving her Bumbo these days and will sit and smile and talk while Mommy is cooking or doing dishes.  She wasn't a big fan of the dish towel on her head, but look at that face!
