3 Months!

Well, folks, yesterday Maria officially turned 3 months old. We hear that things are supposed to get easier from here... we'll see about that!!!

We celebrated by having her pictures taken at Sears. It was quite an experience.

Note to self: Avoid all portrait studios just prior to any major holiday!
But we have some pretty great shots of our little cutie pie! We'll show them off soon.

Here's some highlights about Maria:

She currently weighs 12lbs 8ozs. She smiles A LOT. She has officially become a thumb-sucker... as long as she can find it! Her favorite toy is an iPod-ish little device (a gift from her cousin, Alex) that blinks lights & plays songs - songs that mom & dad hear in their sleep all night long! She is sleeping through the night quite beautifully, but has absolutely no need for naps during the day. She has (sadly) grown out of her 0-3 month clothes, but it's fun to put her in all her 3-6 month stuff!

We are incredibly thankful today for Maria Katharine... and we can't even remember what life was like without her!
