3 months already....

I absolutely cannot believe Adelyn is 3 months and 5 days old. Time is flying by so fast and what's worse is it's almost time for me to go back to work. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I'm so excited for another year, but how in the world am I going to be able to leave Adelyn. I haven't spent a day without her since she was born. It might be a little easier if I was going back to work six weeks after she was born, but I will have gotten to spend 4 months with her and it's going to be so hard to say goodbye the first day I go back. (I cry on the first day every year because I have to put the dogs up all day....I know I'm a weenie). I do feel much better knowing that she will only be a block from my school and I will get to see her everyday when Mrs. Cameron comes to pick up her son! I know she will have fun with her sitter as well as my mom on Mondays!
Adelyn is becoming such a little character. Now that we have finally got the spitting up/screaming under control she is so much happier! Now when she spits up all over herself she smiles and laughs at you instead of crying in pain. In fact we have only gone through one outfit the past two days!
She also finally started lifting her head up during tummy time. I haven't done it that much because everytime I would put her down she would throw up and cry, but then out of no where I put her down and she held her head upright. I could just see it in her eyes....."mommy-I can see the world"
The same day she also found her feet! She lifted them up and wouldn't put them down. This has made for very difficult diaper changing, but she loves those little feet. She is still figuring out what they are and hasn't touched them yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
She still LOVES mirrors. Everytime you put her infront of one, even if she is crying, that frown turns upside down!
She FINALLY started sleeping through the night about a week ago!!!!! It took 3 months for her to do it which was pretty exhausting, but I very much enjoyed getting to look at her beautiful face at 1 am, 3 am and 5 am for three months! She did wake up once in the past week for a midnight feeding but when right back to sleep! So hopefully she keeps it up!
Adelyn is wearing 3 month clothes. Her jammies are all still pretty long on her. When we first put her in pjs I dryed them all on extra hot because they were too long on her, well now she has outgrown them and all of the 6 months pjs are 5 inches too long. So I had to go and buy some 3 months pjs and this time I just won't dry them so hopefully they will fit for a little while before we slide into those 3 months!
I've also decided to attempt to breast feed her until she is 6 months old. I've been storing up milk in the freezer for when I go back to work and if my schedule works out then I should be able to pump twice during the day. I know it may not work out, but I am going to at least give it a shot. Wish me luck!!


Well Adelyn is calling ( actually I should say that Rene is calling.....men....they can only take so much)!
