12 Weeks: Then & Now

It's here already?! Gwendolyn turned 12 weeks old today. It's hard to believe our little baby girl is already 3 months old... no longer a newborn and now, officially an infant.

Seems like just yesterday we were excitedly telling friends and family we were expecting, taking our first pregnant belly photo and having our 12 week ultrasound. Remember our 12 weeks pregnant post? 

Each day with Gwen is better than the one before. We both love waking up to her smiling face every morning (ok, most mornings). When we "free" her from her Woombie she loves to stretch and makes the cutest grunting sounds!

Even her little cry is adorable most of the time! Who could resist that face?! Which brings me to the challenge of trying to get her onto a routine! Up until now I have been feeding "on demand" which is very demanding! I am not complaining but I am a sucker for a good routine and am looking forward to a bit more normalcy. I do not want to rush this time at all, but a consistent nap, play and eating time will make life easier in the long run (I think). We'll be tackling that one over the next few weeks or so.

So much fun dressing her up each day! Thanks to all our friends and family, she has plenty of outfits to choose from. The little bow in her hair is just adorable! And now that the weather is warming up, the bare toes just make my heart melt.

She certainly is a snuggle-r! She loves to sleep... in anything OTHER than devices made for babies to sleep in! Mommy won't be able to let Gwen sleep on the sofa like that for much longer, once she is rolling! I am breaking so many rules here...

And while she loves playing with her toys, we can't say that she really loves her "brother" Winston just yet. Gwen hasn't paid much attention to Winston although he is difficult to avoid when in her face sniffing and licking! I'm sure in time he'll be her BFF because Winston is already crazy about her!

Cannot wait to see what the next three months will bring for all 4 of us. And of course, for sleeping through the night to arrive! :)
