Post-bath chair time

Little Jane is holding her head up so well these days! We've got her kickin' it in her chair whenever we can - she LOOOOVES to sit up. And shove everything in her mouth. Could she be teething already???

On our way to school

Now that Jane is busting out of her 3 month clothes, I'm trying to get pictures of my favorites before I retire them. I tried to get a quick shot of Jane in her rocking chair...but big brother Luke just can't pass up the chance to join in. This kid loves the camera these days. Jane? Well, she tolerates it for now.

Getting ready for school

This is 50 times harder with two kids! I had to document how I'm managing this in the mornings: Luke is scarfing down waffles while watching Tom and Jerry, while Jane is hanging out in her car seat, which doubles as an awesome play chair. This gives me a good 15 mins to clean up and get ready for the nanny to come over OR pack Jane's bag for a trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Maybe I should just get up earlier...

And so it begins

I can't believe she's going to be a thumbsucker...

Bathing beauty

She loves the bath. Thank goodness since all that hair needs washing a few times each week!

Pretty

...and sitting upright so well!

Loves those fingers

Not only do they taste good, but they can do cool things like hold rattles and toys. Playtime is getting much more fun these days...

3 months old!

12 weeks has passed in a flash and I'm already back at work, which often feels impossible when this is who I'd rather spend every hour with.

Jane is SO happy. It's so easy to make her smile - in fact, she smiles so hard that its more like silent giggles. She loves to flirt with her daddy and continues to think her brother is the bees knees. His nicknames for her...Janey or Janey-pants.

She also has her challenges...she hates the bottle, only naps for 40 mins at a time, and would prefer to sleep in arms or a vibrating chair vs. her crib. Nothing terrible, but worth noting for posterity :)

Siblings

Not a stitch of color coordination, but enough cute to look past it.

Indifferent

Maybe because this is right before bedtime...or, she's not digging the outfit? Please - these pants have little ballet slippers on them. What's not to like?
