3 months old!

My baby girl is growing far too fast. I have no idea how much she weighs as I've not been to clinic for ages must go on Tuesday as I'm curious! She's on her way out of her 0-3month clothes now and some size 2 nappies are getting a bit tight (they go up to about 13lbs roughly).

She is starting to grab onto things (other than clothing and hair which she's been doing for a while). Baby toys with small, narrow rings and bars...that kind of thing although it's all very un-coordinated! Anything she does get hold of is straight in her mouth although not for long as she still much prefers her hands to be in there than anything else. She's not really found her thumb yet but a few times has stuck her fore-finger in and been really pleased with herself!

She's really enjoying toys at the moment too - her gym and mobile and the things she can hold etc. Staring at them, talking to them and generally finding it all so amazing that her big brown eyes look like they'll pop out of their sockets!

She also looks like she's trying to roll which is a bit scary. She's been able to get herslef onto her side for a good few weeks now but I don't think it's intentional! Just happens when she's being nosey! She'll arch her back, tilt her head right back and kick and push with her feet and has actually turned herself 180degrees a few times in doing so (I'm already finding her upside down in her cot...needless to say blankets have now been ditched!).

Freya is also now giggling lots. Up until recently she's only done those diddy little huccup laughts when being spoken to in a funny voice or wwhen watching Noah. Now she will do a short little giggle when tickled...it's completely adorable! Add that to her little chatty noises that come out more and more and it's just yummy!

I'm sure she's going through another growth spurt as the past 2 or 3 days the feeds have been almost hourly again...and a couple of times during the night. Just when she'd settled down a bit and was going up to 3 hours on occasion during the day!! Typical. I'm exhausted...my boobies have lost the will to live, lol. Deb - I've not really had much of a chance to try out the pump yet because of this (and being ill) but promise I will have a proper play soon - I need to have a good supply for a couple of weeks time ayway!

We're moving house at the end of July and I've had a great time buying some pink things for her new bedroom! I really didn't think I'd be the type to go down the whole pink and fluffy route with her as I'm not like it myself but I just can't help myself. She's got some beautiful curtains and some pink drawers like Noah's blue ones....just need a couple of blankets, lol! She won't be in her room straight away so I'll have a month or so to sort it all out and get some pictures and pretty lights and such up...can't wait!
