EJ Days: Newborn Summary

That's it, it's over, EJ's newborn days are gone. She turned three months old on May Day and she's all grown up now. (Well, not quite, but we are starting to see more and more personality!). We're just loving our little cheeky monkey.

Highlights:
- She is all sweetness. She loves to be held and to be around us. When we are on the go, she's a doll and rarely complains.
- She's a big sleeper, four naps a day. We get about an hour of waketime between sleep. When social hour is up, she shouts, tosses her head from side to side then falls asleep. Eat, play, sleep, repeat - ah, life with a baby.
- Her hand is her favorite thing. As soon as she wakes up, she wants to chew on her right fist. My bet is on a righty.
- Tummy time is a breeze. She's lifting her head, arching her back, pulling her legs off the ground and even rocking just a little. Despite my hopes for a late mover, I think she'll be rolling earlier than Will did. Darn.
- EJ eats like a champ and has grown like a weed. She's all cheek, belly, and leg rolls. You can't help but give her a squeeze.

Mama skills:
- I can feed a baby, undress a baby (diaper, clothing, swaddle), and redress a baby in less than 25 minutes, in the middle of the night, without turning on a light or causing a single baby cry. If this were a sport (and I think it should be), I would be a shoe-in for the Olympic team.
- I have mastered the art of watching two kids under two all day and all night. I made it four nights while Andy was on a trip for business. The kids survived, I survived, and we were all happy when dad returned. Actually, I loved it. We had lots of fun, kisses, and cuddles, but it sure is easier and even more fun with dad around!
