This little peanut turned 3 months on December 3rd!! 
I have always thought that she has been a pretty alert baby but this past month she has definitely taken off and we've seen so much growth and so much interest in her world around her (aka her siblings in her face entertaining her nonstop!) She had a few firsts this past month which included sleeping through the night (8:30 to 6:00!!) on November 19th and her first laugh on November 30th! So awesome with the sleep (even though it was in the swing and I'm sure I'll pay for it eventually when she can't be in the swing any longer) and so fun with the laughs!! Joseph and the girls are all trying to get her to laugh constantly now which is so fun to watch. Her hands are constantly in her mouth this past month and she is drooling ALL OF THE TIME! She is also pretty good at making bubbles and raspberry noises. She is a strong little one and is real sturdy now with holding her head up and when laying down she often lifts her head and feet up at the same time as if she is doing a crunch. She prefers to be held facing outward and is not a huge fan of the carrier, most likely for this reason. She makes the most adorable pout before crying and sometimes when we see the put we are able to distract her enough it doesn't end up in tears. She still has no interest in the paci or in the bottle but we'll keep trying. She does continue to be a great eater (as long as it isn't from the bottle!) and is still eating every 2 1/2-3 hours during the day (or sometimes more frequently depending on our schedule and when she has to be on the go) and she often is covered in milk. My milk supply is still very heavy so at most feedings it ends up spraying all over her face (the joys of nursing!) She continues to be SO loved by her siblings and she is always watching them and they love having her constant attention. Ella will often say, "Charlotte is so cuteness" which always makes me smile, Julia still refers to her as what sounds like "Baby Lar lar" and Joseph is full of kisses for her when he comes home from school or early in the morning. It's nice to see how affectionate they are with her and that they still love her even when she can be disruptful during story time before bed and I'm sure are told too many times during the day, "One minute, Charlotte needs something..." They really all have been so good with her and knowing that sometimes things need to wait but with that being said, she's a champ, too as she is always sleeping on the go and often found eating on the go (poor girl has experienced me having to wipe Julia during mid-meal for her.) Again, the joys of nursing!! Despite the chaotic moments from time to time, we are so thankful that she is here and we have loved the past three months with her and look forward to continuing to watching her grow. We love you baby Charlotte and are so glad you are ours!!
Looking super sweet and cozy for her 3 month photo shoot. I just can't choose one!! Love all of her sweet expressions and just love this little girl so much.
I have had this sweater for all of the girls so had to include the following comparison pictures in this post.
Charlotte-December 1st, 2016 (2 days shy of 3 months)
Julia-January 5, 2015 (3 days shy of 4 months)
Ella-March 24, 2013
(3 months and 2 days)
She continues to love the bath and her sisters, especially, are such great helpers while she is in the bath.
Getting all bundled up one crisp winter morning.
December 2nd
Happy 3 months sweet Charlotte Grace!
