This week you really do not want to be put down. You also want to be busy doing something all the time. We carry you around and show you toys and books constantly which makes you happy. You are getting so good at grabbing your toys and you can pay attention to your books much longer.

This week we were in Tucson visiting Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle David, Cousins Maddie and Nate, Uncle Mike, Aunt Kerri and Cousins Jay, Bo and Max. We also visited Grandma Kautz and Aunt Mary (we also met Great Aunts Rebecca and Cathy and Great Uncle Terry). All these family members love you! Cousin Jay read you stories and played with you and Cousin Maddie thought you were so cute and she loved touching your soft skin. She also loved picking out your clothes for the day. This was your first time away from Daddy and he missed you very much.

You spent most of the time in Tucson laying on the floor playing with your cousin Max (he is 5 months old). You watched him roll around and try to crawl. You are starting to want to roll over too and you throw your legs to one side while on your back but are not quite able to actually roll yet.

Everyone comments on how beautiful you are wherever we go. And everyone loves your chubby rosy cheeks. I love to kiss them! When we got back to Tucson, your Daddy commented that your cheeks and legs had gotten even more chubby! You are definitely a bit of a chunker.

You turn three months old today! The time is flying and you are growing and changing so fast. You are such a sweet little baby and one of my favorite things to do is snuggle up with you and take a nap. I love to watch your little face when you sleep. This week you have also decided that you never want to be put down (could be all the spoiling your Mama is guilty of). We walk around the house all day bouncing and dancing to keep you happy.

This week we went on our first flight just Mama and Baby. You were such a good girl and slept most of it. We flew to Tucson, AZ.

You have always been a fan of the bath, but this week you discovered the joy of kicking and splashing in the water. This week you also started to use your Bumbo chair. You love sitting in it and looking around. From this new vantage point, you are able to follow the dogs as they chase each other around the living room.

You are getting so big and strong. You can mostly hold your head up by yourself now and you can bear your own weight on your legs. Daddy works with you to gain tone and he makes you do little baby squats on his lap.

My favorite books to read to you are Are You My Mother and 10 Little Fingers and 10 Little Toes. We sit in the rocking chair in your room and read these in the morning after you play on your playmat. Daddy calls this playtime "school". After we read books, you take a nap in your big girl crib. I watch you on the video monitor while you sleep.
