How has it already been three months?

I’ve not been great about posting, but work and baby are exhausting.

Annabelle is 3 months old!

Here’s the caption I wrote for Facebook:

Annabelle is 3 months old! (I took the photo a couple days late.) She smiles, giggles, reaches for things, grabs thing (though mostly still by accident) and loves to look outward at the world. She enjoys spending days with Grandma Cleta while mommy and daddy work and is starting to respond to her name. Her favorite things are her baby activity gym where she plays “kick the fox”, being sung to, reading, and snuggles at bedtime. She’s not a great night time sleeper yet, but she is all giggles and play in the morning so she usually gets forgiven.

She’s doing well with me back at work and takes a bottle like a champ. I’m still able to pump enough, but we tried her on formula. That was rejected soundly. Breast milk with some formula mixed in was accepted though. Hopefully we can keep her on breast milk, but if not we will do a gradual formula introduction.

Other things she loves.

Her swing:

Her family:

Middle: Cleta and Ray Moreau
Bottom: Elizabeth, Annabelle, and David Nicolai

And pretty much the entire world. She’s a happy baby.
