Take Pictures!

My advice to all moms is to take pictures. If you put your baby in an outfit that makes you think "I need a picture of her in that" take that picture right then, don't wait until next time, they grow so fast there may not be a next time. Buy a digital camera so that you never hesitate to snap pictures, film tends to make you hold back because it is so expensive to develop. If your computer doesn't have enough memory for your baby pics then buy more memory, most computer towers can be easily upgraded. If you would prefer to store pictures on photo cards then look for deals and buy in bulk. Don't let there be any reason why you can't just click away, babies don't always cooperate so the more pics you take the more likely your are to get those priceless shots. They are priceless too I guarantee that, that's all the more reason to route as much money as possible towards investing in your photography. Believe me, you will be happy that you took so many pics, of course you will be please to remember days and activities, but even just a picture of your baby lying there is worth taking; you'll be happy to be reminded of when your baby was that size and could that or fit there, or would make that face or do that. Take picture! take them every day if you can, you'll be glad you did. But don't forget to spend more time enjoying your baby at all those stages, hug her hold her, tell her you love her and don't forget you did.   

At 3 months old

My baby as accomplished so much in the last three months, although she also had a good start. It seemed like she was pretty good at holding her head up even from the beginning, of course she has continued to get better at it. It was also very early on that she started flexing her legs to hold her weight, probably about 3 weeks. At 6 weeks she could follow us with her eyes and we saw her noticing our dogs. Around 8 weeks she started playing with her hands, looking her fingers and realizing she can grab stuff. By ten weeks she was able to hold on to her rattle and shake it for fun. At 11 weeks she started sitting up (flexing her muscles) when you pull on her hands and she started trying to roll over, sometimes almost rolling off the bed. She hates being on her belly, but the last time I had her on it she tried getting on her knees- unsuccessful, but a good try.
