Piper 3 months


Size: not sure we don't have a check up for another month but she's fastly growing out of 3 month clothes.  She's already wearing some 6 month outfits.

Sleep: great. I can't believe we've been blessed with another great sleeper, atleast so far!  She's down for the night at 630 and either up twice to nurse (12ish and 3ish) or once around 130/2.  Usually she is good until 6/630 but sometimes fusses around 5 so I'll bring her in with us so she doesn't wake Lily.  Naps are usually in 1-2 hour stretches around 830am and 130pm, but she still cat naps here and there.

Food: breastmilk 100%.  Nursing has been so much easier this time around.  I'm nervous to go back to work and start pumping but hoping for the best.  We're working on giving her a bottle more this week so she gets used to it.  She spits up a lot but now we're getting use out of all those bibs and burp cloths we rarely used for Lily!

New milestones: rolling over & giggling!  Both happened on the 6th of this month and on the same day!  I think this is about a month earlier than Lily for Both.  She also took her first flight :)

Overall she is a super happy and easy going baby.  She smiles so much it's crazy!  Im going back to work Saturday which is very bittersweet.  I'm excited to get dressed, put on makeup, have adult conversations and of course socialize with my coworkers.  On the other hand I'm sad to leave my babies, my relaxed schedule, nap time dvr sessions, and socializing with my mom friends during the day.  Luckily I still have 3 days off a week, one of those with my hubby.  I'll be sure to soak up lots of snuggles this week!



And for comparison. Lily on the left and Piper on the right:

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that I grew up with.  Josh passed away instantly from a
