Day at the Park

Before the weather turned cold, mom and dad took Celia to the park a few times.  This was a good place for mom and dad to get out of the house and Celia could cry as loud as she wanted.  We've since ventured to a couple of restaurants, but the first prerequisite is that they must be LOUD.  These are such pretty pictures of Celia - she looks so grown up and serious!

Pretty in Pink

I just love this onesie.  I really love toile and this is a really cute onesie.  This post could also be called "Fluffy Head."  As you can see, Celia's hair is growing - straight up!  John's mom says this is what his hair did and it was impossible to get it to lay down.  It's so cute now, but if it gets much longer, it will be really funny.  The other day when we were at a restaurant, the waitress called her Fluffy Head.

Road Trip

Celia's first road trip was the weekend of 11/7.  We left Saturday afternoon and came home on Sunday afternoon.  We visited all the family - grandparents, great-grandparents, cousins, aunt and uncle - 4 house in 2 days.  Celia was so good!  We stopped at Rudy's in Waco both coming into town and leaving.  This weekend was the weekend in red - I just love the alternative to pink!

3 Months

So I'm really behind on my posts, but below are some pics of Celia at 3 months.  She didn't have a doctor's appointment so I didn't get any measurements for this month, but she's definitely getting longer!

Sleeping Baby

Celia has been a pretty good night sleeper since she was born (she is terrible at taking naps). The first two weeks the doctor made me wake her up every four hours to feed her, even though she wanted to sleep longer. At 12 weeks she usually sleeps 5-7 hours at a stretch before waking up to eat and then goes back to sleep for another 3 hours or so. Last night she slept 6 hours, but on Monday night she slept 9 hours! I don't expect this to happen again anytime soon, but it was great to know she can do it. In honor of her 9 hours, I'm posting some cute sleeping pictures.

Talking

Celia is becoming very vocal. She loves talking and laughing. Sometimes she'll just sit and make noises for a long time.

We're finally adjusting to daycare. It's much easier for me to drop her off each morning (I think today was the first day I didn't cry). And Celia seems to be doing better. They are giving her medication on schedule and her teacher said yesterday she was so happy smiling and talking all day. She still doesn't nap very well, but it will take a while to get used to all the other noisy babies.

As you can see dad changed her diaper last because he never resnaps her onesies.

Dressing Up for Halloween x 3

Celia had a great halloween.  She had a cute t-shirt for the day and a choice of two costumes for trick-or-treating.

I put her in this watermelon blanket and hat.  The baby on the package looked much happier than Celia did.  I think the hat was a little tight.

By the time trick-or-treating rolled around, Celia was tired and in need of a nap.  We hit a few of the neighbor's houses, mainly for candy for mommy and daddy, but we also had to show off our little pumpkin!

Our neighbor's daughter had a baby girl about a week before Celia was born.  Her name is Aubry and she's the cute ladybug.
