Three Months







I chose this dress because I wore it 30 years ago and Laney may outgrow it soon! She is growing so fast. She's now blowing bubbles, grabbing the toys that hang down on her activity mat (and my hair), and scooting around on the floor and in her crib. And as if on cue for her three month post, she rolled over from belly to back yesterday!!! She hasn't done it since, but it just proves that we are on the fast track to all those 3-6 month developmental milestones.

Here are the pics I took right after she rolled over (I put her back on her tummy for a "before" shot).


More tummy time..



This is where she usually starts on her mat..



And this is where she ends up!


I love this one, it's the first pic that I've actually caught her smiling. I took it with my phone last week when we were shopping with my mom.

Prayer Request Update

Thank you for your comments and prayers for my Meme! She is still in ICU but is expected to be moved to a regular room in a few days. She had a heart issue controlled by meds before the stroke and they are trying to regulate that and thin her blood before she's moved. Apparently her blood was too thick upon being admitted to the ER so that may have been what caused her stroke in the first place (her meds were not thinning her blood enough). Once her blood is thinned enough, the blood clot should break up on it's own (?) but that's still an unknown. It looks like it will be a long rehab process to regain the use of her left side not to mention walking. Please keep her on your prayer list as she begins this process, as she will need all her willpower and strength to improve. Thankfully she only has physical limitations at this point -- her memory and personality are still in tact!
