Gabriela is 3 months old!

Time is seriously going by so quickly. I feel like summer slipped away when I wasn't looking. I was considering taking Gabriela for a walk this morning, when I checked the weather to find it was 42 degrees! brr.

Gabriela is growing so much. We didn't have a doctor appointment this month and we don't have a baby scale, but Lane weighed Gabriela (by weighing himself with and without holding her). She is approximately 13.5 pounds. It's time to pack away her newborn sized clothes and move on to the next size.

Gabriela is much more deliberate with her hand movements these days. She is becoming a pro at finding her thumb and putting it in her mouth. It's a two handed operation. She uses one hand to prop up her other hand while she sucks her thumb...genius, I tell you. Unfortunately, for me, this new found purpose in Gabriela's hand movements includes pushing things away from her face like medicine droppers with vitamins and bottles.

Gabriela really loves to look at her reflection in the mirror. She doesn't know it's her yet. She probably is just happy to have an adorable little friend follow her around everywhere she goes. Gabriela also loves her mobile that Auntie Meliss gave her. When she gets her diaper changed, she coos and squeals and bounces around in excitement at watching the little umbrellas move around.

Every night at dinner time, we put Gabriela in her bouncer between us and she sits with us while we eat. Lately, she's become very talkative at dinner time. She oohs and aahs and makes all sorts of silly noises trying to tell us all about her day.

Gabriela is just full of smiles. We can't stand how fun it is to talk to her, sing to her, and play little games with her. She is the best!!
