Growth Spurt

Baby girl is hitting her three-month growth spurt. The last week or so she has been sleepy and irritable with odd eating habits. She is 13.5 weeks old and really seems like the stereotypical "baby" now, rather than a squidgy little newborn. Her ability to express herself is the most notable change at the moment. Before, it seemed like she had just a handful of modes -- content, crying, sleeping -- now she ranges from gleeful to amused to bored to really, really ticked off. She is constantly talking away. Initially we had to coax her to oooh or gooo, but now she has a great time just telling us how it is. We have a couple of good videos of this action, but we are still figuring out how to load everything on to the computer from the camera. I probably covered that in my last post, but, truly, her verbal abilities crack us up everyday. She is so serious about trying to convey her little thoughts and feelings. Both sets of grandparents will be visiting in October, and I think they will be surprised and charmed by their little granddaughter!
