Brooke is 3 months old





We just finished a great weekend! We had our annual block party and Brooke turned 3 months old. On Saturday all the neighbors on our street gathered for the annual block party. The family across the street brought out their grill and made hamburgers and hot dogs. All the other families made side dishes and desserts. It is so cool to me that everyone will bring their chairs and just hang out together. We had a total of 35 people come to the party. Unfortunately the rained rolled in at about 8:30. We were just starting to roast smores by the fire. Everyone gathered their stuff very quickly and headed home. We were sad to see the party end early; but glad to get to bed at a decent time.
Brooke also turned 3 months old this weekend. She has become so animated. Overall she is a much happier baby now that I've stopped eating/drinking dairy. She is also sleeping 6-8 hours in a row at night and taking 4 naps in her crib during the day. Here are a few other things going on with Brooke this month:
*She has learned how to splash in the tub. She loves taking a bath in her whale tub.
*She smiles and coos when she hears my voice or her Daddy's voice.
*She finally likes her bouncy chair.
*She still hates tummy time and works to roll onto her back right away.
*She is drooling like crazy; possibly starting to teethe.
*She is trying her hardest to suck her thumb. We substitute for the pacifier during the day. At night she wiggles her left arm out of the swaddle so she can suck her thumb.
*She is making new sounds and cries. She likes to hear herself.
*She loves to blow bubbles.
*She likes to play in her crib when she wakes up in the morning.
We are taking out first trip next week. Brooke and I are flying to Dallas for a work conference. I am a little nervous for how she will do on the plane. Hopefully she will like flying as much as her mommy.
