Lizzy Turns 3 (months)

Hard to believe Lizzy is already 3 months old. As first time parents, hitting a quarter of a year seems like a big deal. Lizzy didn’t seem to think it was anything too special though; she just treated it like any other day. It’s been a while since we have weighed or measured her, but she is really growing fast. She has grown out of her 0-3 months clothes and is wearing a lot in the 3-6 months. She even has a few 9 months and 12 months items she is wearing, just because she is so tall!




We are still trying to figure out the best nighttime schedule for her, but she feeds consistently every 4 hours throughout the day and then will make it anywhere from 7-10 hours at night. You may be able to see in her pictures that she has a hemangioma on the top of her head (on the back left). It just looks like a goose-egg and is about 1 inch in diameter. It is supposed to go away within a year or two and luckily the bows cover it up nicely.




Lizzy is really trying out her voice a lot lately making a lot of different sounds which is really cute. Her cry is even changing. Her main reason for crying lately is when she wants us to walk around with her. She gets in moods where she doesn’t want to just be held against us where she can’t see anything. She really likes to be walked around the house so she can look at all the lights and anything shiny.




Lizzy really does a great job of allowing Janell to work part-time during the week. She can be content for hours sitting in her bouncing chair playing with her toys or just laying in her pack-n-play and talking to herself. We also spend time doing tummy time and putting her in her Bumbo to practice sitting up. We have even tried her for a few minutes in an exer-saucer. For her afternoon nap, she usually prefers her swing.




Lizzy just keeps getting cuter and more fun every day. She mostly just likes to be talked to or for daddy to make fun noises with her and she will talk along and try to mimic the things we do. She isn’t interested in too many toys other than the one she can reach on her bouncy chair. She smiles and coos all the time and will smile at anyone who is holding her. We think she had the beginnings of a giggle a couple of times now, but nothing too long or pronounced. She is just the sweetest, funnest little baby.

Lizzy's Back!

Lizzy is finally better and she is back to being herself again. She hit 10 weeks on Saturday and had her 2 month doctor's appointment today (though it was about 10 days late). She is 13 lbs 2 oz and 25 inches tall, which puts her in the 98 percentile for her height. She is at such an awesome age and is so much fun. Her favorite thing to do is to lie on a blanket while we sit over her and entertain her. She will just smile and coo and talk and try to mimic the noises we make. She is a great eater and a good sleeper

We have a lot of nicknames for Elizabeth. The most common being Lizzy but here are a few other things we like to call her: Bo-Bizzy, Bo-Bizzle, L-to-the-Bizzle, Babyface, BabyCakes, which has now developed into Cakes’ and is Janell’s favorite name for her right now, Tiny Dancer, Gummy Sue, Drooly Jane and Shawn’s personal favorite, Lizzy-Beth. And now, here are some pictures:
