Eliza Update

Today, my little Eliza is 3 months old! People told me time would fly once you have children, and they weren't wrong. In some ways, it seems like another lifetime before she came along, that it's been so long ago since that happened. And yet, really, I look back and can't believe three months have passed already.

She's growing, our little girl! Soon we'll be putting the small clothes away and graduating to longer outfits. Already she's lost that "new baby" look. She's more aware, looking around, taking things in. She talks more and more. She was cooing enough that I was able to hold the phone up to her and let my sister listen in for almost an entire minute. (Needless to say, Aunt Melissa was thrilled!)

Some of her recent achievements: she's started turning her head when she hears a sound, or especially when she hears Daddy's voice when he comes in the room. She can lift her head to a 90-degree angle when she's on her tummy, though she can't hold it for long. She can hold her head steady for quite some time when she's held upright, and even lean back to look upwards (she loves ceiling fans). She has begun to hold onto things and even reaches out to grab. Sleeping through the night has been going on for weeks now (yay!).

I leave you with a picture of her in her Valentine's outfit provided by Uncle Chris and his girlfriend, Christina. Her 3 month picture!
