Happy 3 Months!

Isabel turned 3 months old just a few days ago. Time flies by fast! It has been 3 months of ups and downs, a true test of patience and relationships. The maternal instinct that people talk about for me was a progression through time. I don't believe at all that one could fall in love with their child the minute he/she is born. I believe that it's through the connection and experience as time goes by. I do love my daughter more and more each day. There are things that she does that crack me up hysterically:

1) She laughs out loud in her sleep for no reason at all...or maybe she's dreaming about milk.
2) She laughs and smiles when you get mad at her. She loves that.
3) She tries to entertain you while drinking her bottle which of course makes eating go by much more slowly.
4) She falls asleep in the bathtub cuz she's treated like a royal princess.
5) She talks to her stuffed animals when no one is around.
6) She is a super happy baby in the morning. She wakes up and just hangs out, no crying. The minute you walk by her and see her, she laughs and smiles. Then she starts a morning conversation.

She's going to be a little talker... We can see that already!

Isabel has been wanting to stand up or do sit ups anytime she gets a chance too. She's totally trying out her legs. It's super cute watching her grunt and try to do crunches! In a couple of days we're going to be going on our very first road trip with her and we'll see how she does. We bought a new car seat from Graco, the Safeseat which is much bigger than her Chicco infant seat so she's really a lot more comfortable. She and Ozzie both love car rides so we'll see how the drive to Vegas goes.

Diapers.com is a website that I found that sometimes gives really good coupons and always has free shipping. They're not necessarily the cheapest in the market but with their coupons, they're priced better. I use it for wipes and diapers. They carry Kirkland wipes AND all the major diaper brands. Their December coupon was $10 off a $50 purchase so that makes the diapers and wipes such a steal compared to the normal $1.50 off ones. Plus they ship really fast and you get your stuff in like 2 days.

Oh the joys of collecting coupons!
