12 Weeks - What a Great Age

I just wanted to do a quick post so I remember what a fun age 12 weeks is with Grace.
She is starting to make a lot of  "baby talk" sounds, and they are the cutest sounds ever!  She smiles all the time.  She has great neck support (for the most part).  Tummy time isn't so traumatic for her as it used to be. And her baby cues are more easily identifiable. It doesn't mean this age is easy.  No age will ever be easy!  But, it is such a fun age.

The sweetest face in the whole world!
Plus, I can now take her out and about and not worry about her crying!  It is an amazing feeling.  This week I took her to a baby music class and then to Meijer after.  We were gone from the house for about 2 hours total.  During those 2 hours, she didn't breastfeed once, and she didn't get a diaper change once, but she also didn't cry once!  Crying used to be my big paranoia about leaving the house.  Also, she used to eat so frequently that I would have to breastfeed before leaving the house, and then upon arrival at our destination, breastfeed again!

This doesn't mean everything is smooth sailing.  We are still having middle of the night wake ups, usually at 2 and 4 am.  Sometimes lately she's fussy while breastfeeding.  She fights sleep usually when she needs it most.

But overall? There is nothing I would change about this sweet little angel of mine.
