Milestones

 


Today we celebrate that Ella Katherine Mason was born three months ago!  She was not quite as excited about it as the rest of us were...

No, but seriously, she has grown SO MUCH!

 

Newborn                                                  One Month

 

Two Months                                               Three Months

 It's crazy to think of how MUCH has been crammed into three very short months of life:

Ella Kate has...

  



 had her first bath...














started holding her head up...

started smiling...

discovered her tongue...
















smiled in response to people (social smiles)...











 





giggled...
















discovered her hands...















 

held onto and shook toys (and put them directly into her mouth!)...




perfected head and neck control! (We are still waiting on the whole rolling over thing, but, as I told Kyle, I've never met an adult who couldn't roll over, so I'm not too worried about it!)...



 

and batted at and grasped hanging toys.

Of course, there are other milestones that have not been easy to capture in pictures, like her large vocabulary of goo's and gah's, her ability to track objects, her extreme wiggle worm qualities, the way she pushes her weight on her legs when there's something near her feet to kick off of, responding to sounds, and the rather large grins and squeals she produces when Kyle or myself suddenly appear before her. She has come so far and her little personality is really starting to shine through.  I can't wait to see what will happen next!

I never thought I'd be so obsessed with silly things like the absolute hilarity of drool, or the excitement of seeing a person hold onto an object... and then there was Ella.
