Happy Quarter Birthday!

A close up. "How cute am I?"
Thanks to Willow and Michi for the adorable outfit!

This one gives you a good idea of her size, especially that tummy!

Sleeping with one arm above her head!
I think she looks like a little angel!

Today is Kylie's 3 month birthday! She was born 13 weeks and 1 day ago, but her corrected age is 5 weeks an 1 day. In celebration of her quarter birthday, we attended "Cabin Fever Days" in Stewartville. CFD is an antique/craft sale at the Stewartville Civic Center. It was fun to get out and see some of our relatives like Grandma and Grandpa King and Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa King! She was the belle of the ball...Admired by all!!!

Here is her 3 month update:
At 3 months, Kylie is sleeping in her crib in her own room. At the beginning of February, she was taken off her supplement because she was growing so fast! We were originally told that she would likely be on it for 9-12 months. So, now she has started to eat a little more at each feeding...I'm guessing it takes more milk to feel full without the supplement in it. She is eating 2.5-4 ounces per feeding. She is eating 7-9 times/day or every 2-3 hours on average. She sleeps 3-5 hours in a row at night. She is wearing size 1 diapers and filling out her 0-3 month clothes. She will be weighed again on Monday, but I have a feeling she is between 11 and 12 pounds. She has also definitely grown in length! Kylie can hold her head up for a few seconds, but she is still working on control...She looks like a little bobble head when she pulls her head up. She is starting to social smile, which is sooooo exciting for Jon and me. We've been waiting a long time for her to smile at us. She doesn't do it a lot, but a few times a day we get to see that cute, little smile! She makes eye contact and tracks things with her eyes, especially her spinning mobile. I try to spend some time reading and singing to Kylie each day. She doesn't really pay attention though, and I usually seem to put her to sleep! :) I am also putting her in her swing each day...She tolerates it for about 15-20 minutes at a time.

There are a lot of things I love about Kylie. I love that she sleeps with both of her arms above her head. I love that she seems to know my voice! I love that she is vocal...I think she is going to be a chatterbox when she learns how to talk. I love that she can be feisty (even though it makes me sad when she cries). I love that she loves to be held by me and Jon. I love that she is growing like a weed, especially after she started out so small. I love that she has dimples and big blue eyes! I really love her teeny, tiny baby nose. And I really love, love , LOVE that she looks exactly like her daddy when she sleeps with her big eyes and open mouth! She is a little doll and she is so loved!
