Oh Yeah

Boo is now 12 weeks old. She can

• smile
• laugh
• lay on her tummy and hold her head up at a 90 degree angle
• reach for objects
• follow an object with her eyes
• sleep longer with extended wakeful periods in between

I wouldn't even venture to guess how much she weighs. A lot. I'm sure she could roll over if she spent more time on the floor. She prefers to be held, and I worry about her safety on the floor with a curious 20 month old and a wild 3 year old on the loose. Today I went through a bunch of newborn clothes and boxed them up to give to an expectant mother we go to church with. I was surprised at how difficult it was. So many memories go along with each tiny outfit. It's hard to believe I'll never see them on one of my kids again. Really I had no choice though. I am running out of room, and you can't keep everything.

In the next week or so I am going to be breaking out the exersaucer and some of the "older" baby toys. Boo is really starting to get bored just sitting in her bouncy seat. She still loves the swing and most days it is a life saver. I have also been using my sling and front pack more often and she is a huge fan of both. I can't believe in less than 2 weeks she will no longer be my newborn.
