Settling In As a Family

Now that Erin is 3 months and 1 week, we are really settling in as a family. Erin still sleeps a lot and eats a lot but she is developing a real personality. Since day 1, Erin has been really good at lifting her head and looking around. She just wants to see and be a part of the world around her. She's generally a very content baby, though she does cry (especially if she's hungry or having a tough time soothing herself to sleep). When Erin's awake, I like to play with her. And she watches me and smiles at me a lot. She also recognizes and smiles at Dada too...and, of course, she knows Mama.

Even though our family has grown and our schedules have changed a bit, Mama still brings us places and does things to entertain us. Last week, Mama took us to the children's museum (see pictures). She packed up the double stroller and also put Erin in the Baby Bjorn. Erin was so fascinated with the colors and activity at the museum...then she fell asleep pretty much for the whole time that we were there. But I played for almost 2 whole hours! I had so much fun. Then the other day, we hosted an impromptu afternoon playdate at our house for a few of my friends. The weather hadn't been nice so Mama felt an afternoon playdate was in order. We even ordered pizza! (Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from the playdate; sorry!)

Anyway, I love going places and seeing things...now when I wake up I say, "Mama, where we going today?"
