3 Month Update With Pictures!

I CANNOT believe my precious little girl is 3 months already! If I have to be honest, some days it feels like I've been a mom for years, but just yesterday I was getting all her pictures together to start her scrap book and just couldn't believe how much she has changed in these three short months that we've been blessed to have her. In the wake of all the tragedies that have been happening recently her daddy and I have both been holding her a little closer, not taking a moment for granted. But we also praise God for her continued health and safety. Below is are a few comparison pics!

Q is not longer being breastfed. I literally just deleted an entire paragraph I had been working on to tell you how this came about, but I'll just get to the point: I feel that bottle feeding allows me to be a better mom. Yes I know and agree that breast IS best and the nutrition is out of this world. But honestly, if I feel that I can be a better mom and appreciate the time I have with my precious daughter more while bottle feeding, I will not feel guilty for doing it (I wasn't breastfed and turned out just about as fabulous as one can get). I sometimes feel that people get a little out of control about breast feeding, but as I've said before (and will probably say again) DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. And this works for us.

Anyway, back to my little child. We are seriously SO lucky, Q only cries maybe once or twice a day and that's it. When she starts to get fussy, I just put her in her crib and she's out. Some days I can't even remember her crying at all! (I know some of you are probably starting to hate me right about now, but oh well.) 90% of the time she is all smiles all the time. She loves when we sing to her and she's starting to sing back to us, it's the sweetest sounds I've ever heard. She can also stand a couple of seconds while we hold on to her hands, and she holds her head up a lot better while she's having tummy time now. Oh and she likes to watch me ZUMBA, she thinks it's funny. Here are a few more of my favorite pics of her:
