Ilona: three months of memories 3.11.13

you've lived quite the full life already, after only three short (or long, depending on when you ask me) months. the highlight of these three months was definitely our visit with your Lita. i blogged about it earlier, so you can catch the details here. you sleep in some of the weirdest positions. but we are soo grateful you're sleeping and much more than a month ago. you sleep during the night in "shifts", and the first one is always the longest at anywhere from 3-5 hours, depending on the night. you still only sleep on average 12 hours in a 24 hour period (much less than the typical baby if you're wondering), but Ilona has way too much to do in a day to have any more time for sleeping. i guess i was the same way ;) my mom says it's payback. anyways, here are some of those crazy positions i caught you in this month: you were also caught making some pretty priceless faces. you're expressions are maturing and you definitely react and respond to the stimuli around you. what's your most favorite object of affection? us! there is nothing in the world like watching your baby realize she is looking into your eyes and loving it, and then responding with the world's most perfect smile. we are smitten indeed. here you are: you have learned to play with friends and with toys this month: and somehow this month we really became a family of three:
