Drei Monat

On Saturday Morgan turned 3 months old! We recently went to the doctor's and our little pork chop (yes, pork chop - we ARE in Germany after all!) is weighing in at 5,610 grams (12.3 lbs). She is 60 cm long (23.6in.) an increase of 8cm (3in.) since birth. We also began round 1 of vaccinations and Morgan did really well (defined as minimal crying and no fever).

These days Morgan can be found sucking on her hands (or anything she can get into her mouth), playing on her playmat, chilling in her bouncer, splashing in the tub, and making funny razzing noises as she entertains herself. We also heard her first laugh which was quite funny. Morgan is also holding her head up really well. She loves to headbang us - I have no idea how Shaun and I have avoided a split lip with the way she throws her head around.

I think Shaun and I both agree that this month was pretty challenging. As we've tried to help her learn how to fall asleep on her own we have had some very challenging nights. But I think we're starting to turn the corner (lighting strike me down) and hopefully we'll start to see some more consistency in her nightime sleep.

She continues to be such a joy. And even though we're both exhausted she can always cheer us up with that smile.
