Three Months!

Hard to believe, but our little girl is already 3 months old!  She is learning to do new things everyday and it is so fun to watch.  We are still waiting for her first laugh, but we are getting plenty of smiles and happy squeals - she is constantly cracking us up! She really likes sucking on her hands, and is trying her hardest to sit and stand.  She is also showing interest in her toys, grabbing them and putting them right in her mouth.  Here are some photos from her three month photo shoot :)

My Funny Little Lady

I realize that Elena is not even 3 months yet, but she is already showing signs of her personality- and it is very funny!  We are constantly laughing and have caught a few of her funny faces on camera for your enjoyment.

Already waving "Hello"; she is quite advanced...

Best Friends!

This is what happens when the red eye reduction is turned on...

It flashes twice and Elena makes awesome faces!

Will smile, but not at the camera...

I have no idea? :)

Squatting in her Bumbo

Christmas!!

Elena got to celebrate her first Christmas a little bit early this year with the Dischingers and I think that she really enjoyed herself.  She had a great time with her cousin Tristan - they were smiling and laughing at each other.  She got lots of fun presents- so thanks Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Jenny and Uncle Dave and Tristan!  We also got to meet Santa with her cousin Ava!  We are still not sure what she thinks of him, but she doesn't seem to mind being put in his arms one bit!

Back to Work

Mom went back to work on December 1st, and Elena got to go with! I am very lucky to have a work from home job and a boss who allowed me to work part time for the entire month.  I am very thankful to have the time to spend with Elena as she continues to grow and make us laugh on a daily basis.  Unfortunately I am not getting a lot of work done as I spend most of my time trying to make her laugh and taking photos.  She is getting so big! She is becoming more alert and playful during the day and loves when her dad puts her to bed- they both just laugh and laugh, and the amazing thing is she goes right to sleep- a very happy girl.  She is starting to sound like she is going to laugh at any minute, but for the time being is content squealing and smiling when she is excited.  She has started to stand up when you hold her and is becoming somewhat interested in her toys.  We are really enjoying watching her learn and grow everyday.  Here are some of the picures I have taken of her while I have been at "work"
