3 months!

Tara is 3 months old! Well, she's technically more than that, since the 3 month mark was actually last Saturday. It's hard to believe how much she's changed since we brought her home. She has started to reach and grab for items such as toys and fabric, bringing them straight to her mouth for investigation. She can grasp a thin rattle for a short bit if you wrap her hand around it. She is more interactive by the day, and much more fun to play with! She loves being outside, so I'm hoping our fall weather will be temperate for a while before the rains push us inside. So far she hasn't shown signs of rolling over, but I know that will happen when she's perfectly ready. For now we're completely content with a non-mobile baby!

Morning is the best time of day with Tara. She typically wakes up happy and smiling, ready to talk and giggle with us or to play in her crib. She sometimes squiggles so much that she's worn a small bald spot on the back of her head!

Here are a few pictures of Tara playing in her crib in the mornings, along with a few I took out in the yard to mark her 3 month mark. Enjoy her chubby cheeks and sweet spiky hairdo!
