please pray this continues!

12 lbs 4.5 oz
24 inches long
15 inch head circumference
growing like a weed

at 3 months you....
have finally met all of your cousins!
(2 little girls in particular LOVE you!)
we went over to grandma clare's the other day and she started crying. Katie ran over to get me and said "Aubrey, Anna is crying, I better look at her and change her diaper."
are sleeping better
you LOVE to be outside
(when you are fussing and I put you in you snowsuit you stop, sit quietly and wait to go outside)
you love to people watch
(at the airport to pick up uncle mark you were wide eyed and looking around,
I don't think you blinked)
you smile to try to get out of going to bed
you are rocking tummy time
you have the cutest fuzzy head
you fit into your 0-3 months clothes but 3 month ones are still way too big!
you don't like to cuddle as much :(
you like to watch sports
you have ventured out into the world a little more and have even been to church a few times!
you have a different very LOUD cry
you smile and talk to yourself in the middle of the night
(just like your dad)
you sleep in the weirdest positions
you loved delivering valentines and picking out a gift for your soon to be boy cousin
you have a boyfriend/arranged marriage
(little Asher is quite fond of you)
your dad loves you more and more each day!
you make fists and punch the air while making the most serious face ever!
you have rolled over a few times and you just smile after
trying to get a binky free picture
Next month we will be blessing her and we are so excited!
Aunt Holly (Anna is the only person in the world who can technically call her that) has said she would take pictures of Anna in her dress (my dress), I can't wait!
Sad that she fits into it at 4 months old and I was like 3 weeks old... :)
time to have another baby, this one is just growing up too fast :)
just kidding!

2010:
I thought I knew love because I had a fiance. Jon surprised me by showing up at my house, he took me to lunch (he had to work that night) and gave me 3 envelopes. They were clues/gifts to tell me where we were going on our honeymoon.
2011:
I was sure I knew what love was because I had a husband. Jon had to work so we celebrated a few weeks later with dinner at the roof. I do remember being heart attacked by 2 little girls though.
2012:
I know I know what love is because I have a child and I am pretty excited about our plans today.
Note to self: while this holiday is extremely fun when you have a kid, make sure you focus on the husband it is a holiday for lovers after all, not children.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Anna was asleep in my arms with a HUGE smile on her face.
a few minutes later (with her mouth wide open) she started to laugh
it continued for 30 seconds
(until the shaking from my laughter woke her up)
so cute

slept 7 hours... in a row
(I don't even get to do that!)
9:30pm- 4:30am
*(and then from 5:00 -9:00, love it!)
in the swing... why didn't I figure out your love of the swing earlier?
Thank you Anna, doesn't sleep feel so good!

Anna rolled from stomach to back on her right side.
I clapped and congratulated her after and she got a huge smile on her face.
