1. No more neck bobbles - that means rides in the Baby Bjorn are much more interesting because she no longer has to face in and can face forward.
Before
After!
It also means she can sit in the Bumbo and entertain herself...
Video of the first Bumbo sitting (please ignore my irritating voice)
2. She's getting out a lot...
We spent last weekend on Kauai to go to Cristina's godmother's wedding.
Note to self: when packing, remember to the put the bloomers on the bottom so TSA doesn't think you're a pervert
At the hotel pool. To diva. Or not to diva?
Family photo the day of the ceremony. Beautiful weather!
A day in Hanalei. PERFECT!
My favorite view as we entered Hanalei. Check out the waterfalls!
Sleeping in at the hotel
Wedding dress!
Goofing off -- fish lips x 2
3. She's getting a lot of visitors...
The "GUNKLES" Scott and Marco visited from LA, and we had a nice day at the Elks Club with Cara and Eric, too.
On our deck with grumpy girl :-)
Godfather Todd visited for a weekend
A stroll through Waikiki with Todd and his aunt and uncle.
4. She's sleeping a lot -- sometimes from 11 pm to 8 am. How lucky is that??? The trick??? NO FRIGGIN' IDEA!
Baby stretches are the best!
5. Her feet are getting WIDE.
We call these LUAU FEET in Hawaii.
But she's hoping to fit in to her new pink Havaiianas from her new uncle Joao in Brazil, soon!
Just kickin' it!
6. Lots of tracking and smiling going on!
What is it about babies and ceiling fans?
I love this photo. Makes my heart melt.
7. And with all of this...right here, in this very moment, we are very grateful!
Handwritten messages on diapers from one of our baby showers...it was just too perfect not to take a photo!
Happy Three Month Birthday, Cristina!
(You're probably wondering why "47 years" is in the title of this post. Well, tomorrow is my 47th birthday and I'm doing my best to tell myself that age is just a number, darnit!)
Happy birthday...you are now 564 months old!
ReplyDeleteYour family is just gorgeous and living a dream out loud....happy 3 glorious months to your angel!
Great. Thanks Edward! :-) And thanks for the compliment. I'll take it! Amazing how much love one baby can bring...I can't imagine having three! Ha!

ReplyDeleteK
I'm sure Baxter is getting there, too...thank goodness that noggin is on a boy because he'll be stronger, earlier to keep it on straight (of course until he gets in to high school!).
DeleteAWWWW happy 3 months, Christina! SOOOO glad she's sleeping longer through the night ... she just knew you needed your beauty sleep at your age. ;) Not that you look 47! Very surprised to see that ... you look awesome!
ReplyDeleteSleep is awesome! It's been going so well...we're very lucky. Either that or she really does know I need my sleep (yes, at 47 and three days now)...thanks for the compliment :-)
DeleteHappy Birthday and happy 3 months! Enjoy all the changes that come with time.
ReplyDeleteAnd the changes are happening so fast. Thanks Aleksandra! You two are adorable!
DeleteA very Happy Birthday to you (you look amazing and age IS just a number)!!! Love the photos - please keep them coming as Christina is just gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I try, but not too hard...I feel good that's the most important thing. Cristina is just a few months behind your girls...exciting!
DeleteShe is beautiful and clearly correctly adored! Very happy for all three of you and much appreciate your sharing your joy.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to realize in one year she will be an experienced walker and talker. FABULOUS isn't it!
old ca grandmother
Thanks oh loyal grandmother! Hopefully we have some more non-mobile times ahead..crawling and walking scare me right now! :-)
Deletelol fish lips pic! Love her. She is clearly settling into her new role of daddy's little girl just perfectly :) You're turning 47 but it's your first bday with Cristina. Either way, you're a youngen! Happy 3 month bday Cristina, and happy bday Dug, have a great one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Toban! A youngen who acts like a youngen too. Keeps me young!
DeleteAwesome pictures!
ReplyDeleteHappy 3 months! Happy 47 years!
The diaper message...yeah, that's really cool. I love that.
P.S. Your voice is not irritating at all! We see pictures of each other...we imagine what we sound like based on our writing, but the voice helps to complete the picture.
Thanks jeni...for the birthday wishes and enduring my voice...lol!
DeleteHappy Birthday 47 year old! Thought Daddy needed some recognition...now Cristina is so dang cute...from Bumbo to Diva stretch to readable diapers...it's all perfect. You guys seem to be doing well too...sleep, enjoy, and more fun...right!?
