Bradford Celebrates Three Months







Bradford turned three months old today! She really is the sweetest baby. Generally laid back, sleeps well at night, is starting to fall into a good day-time routine, laughs, smiles, "talks", kicks, loves her bath, loves her brother, has started to notice the animals and is such a joy. Tuesday night was a milestone for us as she slept through the night. Yep...at 12 1/2 weeks...she went from 8:00 - 5:30! That hasn't happened again this week...she usually goes 4+ hours at night, but we'll take a straight night! Wyatt was up twice that night searching for Bobby, but all in all it was a good night. She was kicking around on her playmat yesterday and I noticed her rolling onto her side. She just kicked her legs up in the air and turned to her right side! It won't be long before she's rolling over completely. Wyatt was 16 weeks when he rolled from back to front and she is now 13 weeks. I also noticed today that she is reaching for her toys on her playmat. Clearly she had her arms outstretched and her hands on two of the hanging toys. She seemed to "talk" to them...stared at them intently. It was just amazing to sit there and watch her develop these motor skills. She loves for me to sing to her and at times appears to try to sing back. Wyatt was running back and forth, back and forth today, and she was able to follow him with her eyes and head. She responds to his voice...he is quite the sweet big brother with her...always wanting to kiss her hand and pet her head.

She is so cute!!!!!! And this may sound silly, but she looks like a little girl, she has that "pretty" look in her eyes. (I guess I think that b/c our son definitely looked "boy" and I'd never thought that about babies until him.) She is precious though!!!! And making such great milestones already, way to go! Christopher and Sophie are the best of friends and it sounds like Wyatt and Bradford will be too, it's awesome! Thanks for the pacy idea too. Christopher is obsessed with his and I'm not sure what we are going to do to get rid of it, but i know it is going to be a huge and ugly battle. We have until March, when he turns three, and I've decided he HAS to be done by then. We'll see!

Those are the most beautiful children in the world! And the sweetest! But of course, their Bebe might be a little biased!
