From Newborn to Infant
Our little Presley is no longer a newborn (sad and exciting all at the same time)! At 3 months old, she just keeps getting cuter and more fun! She's 25.5 inches long and weighs about 12 pounds. Here are a few highlights from this month:
- On February10th, we enjoyed our first night of 8 consecutive hours of sleep since her arrival. It was a joyous occasion! We woke up confused, thinking--did we get up and not remember it? What happened to the baby? Equally exciting were the 3 consecutive full nights of sleep that followed! Although it was short-lived, it was a welcome preview of things to come. We're not complaining though, getting up once each night isn't too bad! (Especially when you're greeted by a big smile and squeal of delight)
- Presley has really started to discover her hands. She looks at them, furrows her little brow, and occasionally tries to reach out to touch something. She's mastered getting them to her mouth and she loves to try and get both of them in there (hey, sometimes just one won't due).
- We've started running together every morning. She gets comfy in our jogging stroller and usually falls asleep while I huff and puff my way to my pre-pregnancy weight.
- No laughter yet but, we are really enjoying all of her coos, squeals, and attempts to talk and sing to us. It just never gets old.
- Thankfully, her rash is gone and she's happy as a clam with my dairy-free diet. While my cheese-less pizza is far from satisfying, it's a small sacrifice for our little one!
- She's getting much better control of her head and neck, courtesy of our daily torture sessions. She holds her head pretty steady when she's upright but, hates tummy time. She's not quite ready for her bumbo chair but, I imagine we'll be getting that out soon.
- While her activity mat was her favorite last month, this month she's really enjoyed her bouncy chair. She sits with me in the kitchen and supervises my culinary adventures.
- Mr. Octopus still comes with us everywhere

24 Hours in Florida
Jeff's brother, Jake, came to visit us a couple of weekends ago. After getting stuck in Charlotte, NC over night, his visit became a food- and action-packed 24 hours. After a late breakfast at the Flying Biscuit, Jeff took him over to Cedar Key for some fishing. Luckily, the fishing-gods smiled upon them!
Jeff's dream of catching a shark was fulfilled! He caught a ferocious bonnet shark.
Jake didn't go empty handed either! He caught a stingray and a couple of other big trout-like fish (that are now in my freezer, much to my chagrin)
For dinner, Jeff was excited to take him to 420 Munchies, a quintessential college joint that has been featured on Man vs. Food (one of our favorite TV shows). This place puts everything but the kitchen sink on your sandwich.
Not sure what's on that sammy but, I'm pretty sure all of it was still in his stomach when he arrived home in Vegas the next day.
Thanks for the fun, quick visit Jake! It was a long way to come for breakfast, fishing and a 10,000 calorie dinner!

A few things to remember
No pictures for this post but there are a few things I want to remember:
We had our first little family home evening this week. It was a pretty special. Jeff welcomed his girls to FHE, we said an opening prayer, and I proceeded with our lesson...singing primary songs! Presley loves singing primary songs so she really enjoyed it, smiling and cooing the whole time! Some of her current favorites are: I'm so gald when daddy comes home; Jesus wants me for a sunbeam; give said the little stream; and popcorn popping on the apricot tree. After singing, we had our activity--tummy time--which Presley hates and then we had our closing prayer. The whole FHE lasted only about 7 minutes but, they were a pretty special 7 minutes to us!
Last night, Jeff was holding Presley while we ate dinner. She decided that she was hungry too and instead of crying, she looked right at me and started yelling. She stared me down and kept yelling at me until I took her from Jeff. We thought it was pretty funny :).
