When we registered for baby gifts and supplies, we decided not to register for an ExerSaucer, simply because our house is quite small and the ExerSaucer is quite large.  So instead, we registered for the Jump 'n Go, which is one of those doorway jumping things.  I've shown you a video or two of Avery in it and she loves it.  However, she began to love it so much that I realized that we don't have a doorway wide enough for her to safely use it.  So, my parents got ME an ExerSaucer for Mother's Day.  Well, it's for Avery to use, but it's really a gift to me because it means I can get some things done and Avery can run the world from her Command Center.

Ready for take-off!

Avery just loves it!  And I love it, too.  I love hearing her giggles and gasps as she jumps up and down and hits all the buttons to make the things sing songs.  Seriously, this thing takes TWELVE double A batteries.

It really is a command center!

And it doesn't take up as much space as I anticipated.  Bring in the Command Center, take out the swing.  It's a Win-Win situation we have here.

I got some great smiling, laughing, grinning, giggling shots on the playmat.

Then, later on, she was sitting in her Bumbo and I peeked around the corner and saw her kissing herself in her mirror.  I grabbed my camera, but her camera radar went off and she got all hammy.  So, I didn't get any pictures of her kissing her mirror, but I still got cute shots.

Be still, my heart.

3 Months...

It's the 24th, so somebody is three months old today!

We decided to commemorate this day by trying out the Bumbo Seat for the first time.  Think she likes it?

Avery, I was thinking last night about how quickly you are growing and it makes me a little sad!  You're probably about twice the size you were when you were born, and I can't believe how fast it's gone by.

However, I am so excited for all of the things that you are doing and for all the happiness you bring to me every day that I get to spend with you!

You are grabbing onto things now!  You will grab onto your rattle and yesterday, you were shaking it and laughing while you did it!  I have to get it on video because it is just so cute.  And I am so proud of you!  You are changing every day and I just can't believe it!

You are happy pretty much all the time.  You are full of smiles and laughter is becoming a regular occurrence, too!  You love to play on your activity mat and just kick your legs, wave your arms, and grab onto your hanging toys.

We love you so much and we are so thankful for you!
