Say Wha?!

Can you believe this?!  Isn't it amazing??  And since you have no idea what I'm talking about.... it's Charlotte's 3 month mark!  Where in the world did that time go?  So much has changed in the past 3 months and yet it's still hard to believe we have a daughter.  Someone that depends solely on us taking care of her every whim.  It is amazing, exhausting, entertaining all rolled into one.  But first things first:

~How my life has changed~

Before:

Slept in till at least 8 or 9

Stayed up till midnight

Showered daily

Went out window shopping all day

Went out on dates with the hubby at night

Played around with photoshop for hours

Sewed any projects that came to mind

No cravings

Now:

Wake up at 6 daily

Go to bed no later than 10:30

Shower every other day more often than not

Plan ahead at least by a full day before going out shopping for an hour with the baby

Spend nap-times catching up online, with laundry, with dishes, and eating

Imagine lots of projects and have a stack of incomplete ones just waiting for their nap-time turn to be finished

Major sugar cravings

Sounds down right terrible eh?  There's a lot to say about this "after" life though.  I am much more productive as I have to plan ahead for almost anything.  I have a better body now than I did before thanks to waking up early and exercising till the baby wakes up.  And I don't waste water! ;) jk

~How Charlotte has changed~

Birth size:

8 lbs 8 oz

20.5" long

Current size:

15 lbs 6 oz

24.5" long

She sleeps from around 8 pm till around 8 am with one feed at midnight.  She also has about 3 naps of 1 1/2 hours each during the day.  She eats about 35 oz a day.  She smiles 90% of the time and giggles and talks a lot.  She loves bath time, but HATES getting out/dried/changed.  She can entertain herself for a good 30 minutes straight or watch a disney movie with us for about the same amount of time before it loses her undivided attention.  Going shopping, she'll just stare at her daddy the whole time.  I'm actually not too afraid of taking passport photos as she's so good at simply staring at anything and everything.

To show her size change, here's a picture we've randomly managed to take every month.

Month 1

 Month 2

Month 3

Month 4

 Some how she still can pin her daddy for her favorite spot. ;)

Now, imagine how you wake up in the morning or after a nap.  Groggy, grumpy, etc.?  Wouldn't it be a fun world if we all woke up like this?

Or laughed at such simple and silly things just like this?

I love this girl, and the guy is not so bad either. ;)  Now back to that pile of unfinished projects...
