3 months!

Gemma has been growing so fast!!! All of a sudden she is much more interactive - cooing, smiling and sometimes laughing (though it currently sounds like a cough or a really excited inhale). She's a very calm and observant little girl who gives her coos and smiles judiciously right now but when she does it is about the best thing ever. :)

Sorry for not writing sooner, so much is going on in life right now... illnesses, marriages, birthdays (Happy 90th Birthday, Grandma Krotz), performances, breakdowns, healing, forgiveness... I'll write more about it all in another entry but for now here are some videos to get everyone acquainted with Gemma's world. :)

Buenos dias
Our morning ritual, I sing to her to help wake her up. This particular morning she was sooo enchanted with her hands and fingers that she didn't give us her usual coos and smiles. These days her world revolves around her hands, especially her right thumb. This new discovery is wonderful since she soothes herself back to sleep if she wakes up in the middle of the night. As a result the past 4 nights she's been an angel sleeper; 2 nights sleeping 9 hours straight, then 9.5 hours and last night 10.5 hours! Each time I woke up before she did with my boobs just aching to offload stored up milk for her.



Daddy Time
Here she is a little more awake having some daddy time before he heads off to work:


Bee Time
Play time for Gemma. She Loooves her bee mobile! :)
