Melody: 3 months old

Dad forces her to wear this every bears game

  Our baby girl, Melody, turned 3 months today. It's crazy how fast time goes by and how she's growing so quickly. She already has so much personality and I find it so fun to learn new things about her. Every morning, when she wakes up she would make noises like "ahgoo!' or "aahh" to her elephants (it's basically a mobile of little elephant heads attached to her playpen). Sometimes, she would be up at 5 am talking to the elephants and it would wake up Chris and I. She also has learned to smile a lot if you talk to her or if you're just saying hi. She is very particular with how she wants to be held. She prefers facing front, just so she could see people and join the party. She hates being held like a baby, unless she's sleeping.A few weeks ago, she started to roll over by herself a few times one day. She didn't seem to know what she was doing but it looks like she enjoyed for a bit. Here is a proof.

 Bedtime has definitely gotten a lot easier for Chris and I. It seems that she has learned to go to sleep on her own. I usually would put her down give her a binky and hold her hand. If she is having a hard time or if she's just plain fussy, Chris would play the guitar and we would sing her songs. Sometimes I'll play the ukulele to her too. It really calms her down, and she seems to enjoy music very much. Chris and I love music. Why do you think we named her Melody?Anyway, she's gonna grow some more and we're so excited too see what's she gonna do next, in the following months.

  As for now, Christmas is around the corner along with the new year. We will be in Chicago for a week to see family and have a fun white Christmas. Then in early next year, Melody and I will be traveling to Japan to meet her Obaa-chan and Oji-chan (my ma and step dad). The 14 hour plane ride would suck, but it should be worth it. There's so much to look forward to!
