Marin was three months old on Friday. Here are a few of her favorite things these days....

** She loves to sit up and look around. We have discovered the love of the bumbo. Her favorite way to be held is facing out so she can see the world.

** She loves to sit propped up on our legs and "talk" to us. She is making a lot of sounds now, most of which sound like "ah-goo". She is also giggling a little. This is one of our favorite things.

** Marin also loves to "stand" up and put weight on her feet like a big girl. We think maybe she'll be an early talker and walker-- look out world!! :)

** She loves music! We sing a lot of songs, and we sing often. She also loves to listen to music in the car. She has long fingers, too, so we think piano recitals are in our future.

** She loves the car and goes right to sleep in her car seat. Unless she is hungry and then she lets it be known by screaming bloody murder.

**She sleeps like a dream through the night. We feel really lucky about this. We swaddle her up tightly so she looks like a little pea pod, and she sleeps so soundly. She goes to bed at about 7:30pm and will sleep straight through until 7am. Every night before we go to bed we go in and check on her. We just love to watch her sleep. She looks like a little angel.
** She loves to eat her hands. Sometimes I think it is a contest with herself to see how many fingers she can get in at once.

** Marin loves to smile and does so often. When we get her up in the morning she smiles back at us in her crib and it is the best part of our day! It's almost like she is saying, "Hi guys! How did you sleep?!"

** She holds onto objects well but isn't reaching out to grab for things quite yet.
** She doesn't love being on her tummy unless she has fallen asleep for a nap and we put her down like that. She is holding her head up really well.

** Marin has over 100 books and loves sitting in our lap while we read them to her. The books with bright pictures are her favorites.

** She loves bath time. We have just started to introduce a little fun into her bath so it isn't all business anymore. She really mostly looks at the duckies and sometimes the plastic whale that squirts water on her tummy.

** She likes to be held closely. She will "tells us" when she is tired for a nap by getting fussy and when she does and we cradle her closely she falls asleep almost immediately.

All in all, she's a social butterfly who plays hard and sleeps hard. She takes in her little world with great curiosity every day and smiles in delight with what she sees. She likes to move and she likes to try and tell you about it. Sound like anyone you know? :)
