Just like Peas and Carrots...: Emma is 3 Months..

Girlfriend, you are growing up way too fast! BUT I'm loving every minute of watching you figure out this brand new world that you are in.

Moose loves hanging out with you

3 months has been an adventure and super fun. It's the month of September and that means... Football season AND Fall season. 2 of your mama's favorite things! Your dad and I are huge UT fans! So every Saturday means... we are wearing Orange and White. GBO! They have had a tough couple of years but I think Butch, their coach, is bringing us back! 2016 will be our year. Just ask your Uncle Brent... he is confident that is the year!

I'm happy to say that you are officially past the gassy stage. Thank goodness. It broke my heart to see you hurting like that, but believe me babe, it could have been a lot worse. Some babies get acid reflux, diaper rash, etc. We are very thankful you didn't have any of those things.

I just want to kiss that little Buddha belly

Emma, you slept in your crib for the first time on September 19th! You had been sleeping in the co-sleeper in our room but your dad and I decided it was time to transition you upstairs. You haven't woken up at night since around 5 weeks so it was time. AND surprisingly to us, you slept through the night in your crib (knock on wood this continues). You love the fan on, being swaddled, your projection of little fish on the ceiling (kind of like a night light) and your "cradle" song playing. I rock you before putting you to bed every night which means more snuggles for me.. I'll take it!

So now that I'm back at work, we are starting to get the hang of things. For a while, I was nursing you in the morning after you woke around 6:30a but I couldn't gauge if you were getting enough and I felt really rushed so we started feeding you from the bottle. You get to sleep a little bit longer too! You take around 5-6 oz each feeding (every 3-4 hours). You are hungry little birdie. I, now, pump in the morning before you wake and then at work 3 times a day (at least I try). Your GiGi comes on Mondays and Tuesdays to watch you at our house and then you go over to Grammy and PawPaw's house Wednesday through Fridays. You seem to really like it and I know your grandparents love seeing you so much!

We have been practicing more tummy time and you are liking it more and more. You are so strong little girl! Before you know it you will be rolling over, sitting up, crawling, walking...

Ahhh...Time slow down!

Another new development is that you have found the TV! You can now see at longer distances and color, so I can see why the TV would be very fascinating to you. This is a good and bad thing. TV can be your friend and worst enemy. I would rather you read more than watch TV but for now...Our routine is to watch Mickey Mouse and Jake & the NeverLand Pirates in the morning while you take your bottle. You also love HGTV, especially watching it with PawPaw... (cue picture below..)

You got to hang out with Tristan! He might already be your same size and is 7 weeks younger than you. This is good thing.. you have your very own bodyguard! He takes after his daddy (your Uncle Jeremy) and PaPa. Y'all are too cute together. Can't wait to see how y'all interact when you get a little older!

You have developed quite the personality, little one. You are so funny and make some great faces. You laugh all the time! It is the sweetest little laugh too. You have your daddy's smile, which is absolutely adorable!

Prepare yourself for picture overload. Alli, Audrey and Tanner's mama, took your 3 month pictures. Who's the cutest baby in the world? You are! You are adorable!

Here are some of our favorites
