The big 3!

Oaklie is turning three months and it is bittersweet. I love how much she is starting to interact with me and Andrew, but I miss my little baby. When we first brought her home, I hated how much she slept but now I wish she slept more. :) I miss taking naps with her. Oaklie is starting to get a little personality. She has started talking A LOT more. She definitely makes her presence known and she doesn't mind letting you know what is on her mind. She will just talk and smile. I love it. She has not laughed yet but she is almost there. You can tell she wants to. I am afraid she is going to be a little goer. We all have a feeling it is not going to take long for her to start crawling and walking. She loves to be up and wants to know what is going on. She is very curious. When we give her tummy time, she digs her feet in and scoots across the floor. She is going to be gone too soon. She likes to think of herself older then she is. Everyone is surprised when they find out she is almost 3 months. She holds herself much better then a normal 3 month old. They all think she is 4 to 5 months. She tries to sit up and she holds her head very well. Even as a newborn she never flopped her head like what they normally do. The doctor always comments on how strong her neck and back are. We are glad we have a very strong, healthy baby.

We just got home from a good vacation from home. It was not long enough. Oaklie met all of her cousins, Aunts, and Uncles. All her cousins just loved being around her. Someone was constantly holding her. I only got to see her when she needed to be fed. Me and Andrew were very good with sharing her. We even went on our first date without her. I loved having so many babysitters. They are the only ones I will trust leaving her with. We blessed Oaklie while we were home and I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life and to share it with my daughter and future kids. It was another amazing experience. After the blessing, we just chilled at home and got to hang out and visit with family and friends. Andria and Haley put a little baby shower together for us and it was so nice of them and it was so nice to visit and see everyone. My poor mom and dad. It just broke their hearts saying goodbye to us, again. It breaks mine leaving them again. It gets harder saying goodbye each time we leave. Two in a half weeks was not long enough. Its crazy to think the next time we see everyone, she will be crawling and possibly walking. Thank goodness we have Face Time. It will have to do for now.
