Peterson: PARTY of 4: 3 months and lots of pics.

Weight: 12.5 lbs (Raelan weighed 10lbs at 3 months)

Brynlee is a smiley little girl. Even when she's upset, I can usually trick her into a smile. She doesn't have much hair still :/ and we love how her ears stick out. Her double chin and chubby cheeks are entertaining and oh so kissable (well, not the double chin part). She's a stiff baby and not at all snuggly. She drools a lot. She still nurses every 1.5-2 hours and won't take a bottle so I'm getting excited for baby cereal. Her eyes are still blue and I'm hoping they stay that way. I'm able to get her to laugh most days, though not yet a full belly laugh. Bryn enjoys sitting in the bumbo seat. She likes to see what's going on. Anyway, super exciting stuff. ;)

Raelan has been quite a tantrum-thrower. And she whines a lot. But she's also starting to say hilarious things and is getting more and more fun to play with. She is so active and never really stops moving. She's still so tiny...she weighs 24 pounds! She's obsessed with Jake and the Neverland Pirates. She loves playing with coins and calls them her gold doubloons. She sings the theme song, fights the sea witch with daddy, and consults her treasure map often. It's entertaining to say the least.

A few weeks ago I asked her if she had a best friend. "Mmhmm!" she said. I asked who it was and she said, "My mouth!"

We went to a playdate and left Brynlee home with Ammon. When we got in the car to drive home Raelan said, "Oh no! Where's my sister?!"

She typically ignores her sister so it's fun when she takes notice of her.

Raelan has a little princess tent that she calls her "cave". I had taken it down and put it away. After I put her to bed that night she was crying so I went in (for the 147th time) to see what was wrong. She said, "Mommy, Jesus took my cave!"

"I <3 Auntie" We miss Emily... :(

Found Ammon combing Raelan's hair after her bath. I love how he can go from sword-fighting bad guys with her to calm and tender moments like this. He's a great dad.

This is a staged photo.

Little gnome.

Raelan discovered water beads thanks to youtube kids. I found some at the dollar store and she was SO excited. If you get some for your kid I recommend you don't tell them until after you grow them in water for the minimum 4 hours. It's a very long wait otherwise.

Pretty.

Ammon took Raelan "surfing" on his longboard. They sat just like this and he pushed them around the parking lot with his hands. He used gloves and burned holes in them. Raelan was ecstatic. "Mommy, we're surfing! Yayyy!"
