Oh, I have severely neglected my little ol' blog! I suppose 'tis the life of every new mom, trying to get priorities in order and merely survive the early days of parenthood!

Maebry is a precious, sweet, wonderful gift in our lives. As we hit the 3-month mark yesterday, we realized so much has changed and she's grown in so many ways! Here are some fun milestones we've recently hit:

• We are grateful to be getting more solid sleep (girlfriend sleeps from about 9pm until 7:30)
• We are thoroughly enjoying her new sounds (she giggles constantly, and "talks" to people all day long)
• It's fun to see her exploring the world (she can now grasp her hands and other things around her, tracks things back and forth in front of her, sits up and stands with help, and she's lifting her head while on her tummy)
• We are trying to be more brave about getting out of the house (we have no problem with it, but Little Miss is the BIGGEST spitter I've known. She makes fountains of spit-up and it can really ruin an outing/seeing others. Hopefully this will decrease as she gets older)
  
• We are learning more about her (she is ticklish in certain spots, she definitely has mood swings, and she changes nearly every single day)
• She is responsive (she recognizes Mom's voice and smiles at us all. the. time.)
• She is loving (when you tease her she burrows her head in your chest and almost wraps her arms around us!)
• She likes to make friends (she LOVES being around other babies, thinks Brinkley is crazy, and enjoys her pal Sophie being nuzzled under her arm)

It's hard to believe that 3 months ago, we were without our little girl in our arms. It has been one of the longest yet fastest summers of our lives (Summer? What summer? We missed the memo this year). We have learned a lot about each other, about parenting, about GRACE, and about how to live in "survival mode." As we enter her fourth month, we are hopeful that things will continue to get easier and will be a lot more enjoyable as we raise our Miss Mae. She is a delight and I can't wait to share more of her with you!
