Graceyn 3 Months

   Our little angel turned 3 months old one week ago.  I have been meaning to blog about her, but time has just been flying by this summer.  There aren't enough hours in the day at all!  I can't believe Graceyn has been in our lives for 3 months already.  I still can't believe she is ours and I get to keep her forever.
     I can't even adequately communicate the joy that Graceyn brings to all our lives.  If I had to describe her in one word it would be "sweet".  I must tell her 50 times a day what a sweet girl she is.  She is just truly a happy, sweet, sweet girl.  She smiles all the time and is just such a content girl.  She continues to amaze me with her easy disposition.   As I have said before, she literally only cries when she is hungry or tired.  It is so wonderful to have such a happy and easy to please girl. 
    She absolutely loves her brother and sister and they love her so much too.  I worried at first that she would be like a new puppy, and the newness of her would wear off.  It hasn't at all.  I swear they fall more and more in love with her each day.  The other night we were out to eat for dinner.  She started to fuss a little in her car seat.  Ashlyn and Dawson both got out of their chairs immediately.  Joey and I asked them right away what they were doing, and they both said they were getting up to comfort her.  She is one lucky, lucky girl to have such an amazing brother and sister to look after her. 
     I feel like she has changed so much over the last three months.  I love watching her explore her world and do new things.  She still loves her play mat and loves batting at her toys.  She now puts them into her mouth as well.  She really likes toys.  This past week she has started to roll onto her side from her back.  I know she will be rolling over soon.  I'm in no hurry for her to be mobile because I know how much harder it gets with a mobile baby. 
       Sleep with Graceyn has been so slow going.  In fact, she may be my worst sleeper yet.  She has fallen into some really bad sleep habits (which I know are totally my fault).  I am not getting good sleep and either is she.  In fact some nights, she is still up every hour.  After 14 weeks, its starting to become almost unbearable to be getting such poor sleep.  Last night, I decided to try her in her crib.  I waited until around four months with Ashlyn and Dawson, but I think Graceyn is ready.  She really needs to be getting better sleep.  I put her in her crib a little awake around 7:00.  For the next hour she was asleep and awake, but I kept assuring her that I was right there.  Around 8:00 she fell asleep for good.  She slept from 8:00-3:15!!!!  She has never slept a stretch like that before.  I am really praying that it is just a process and she will continue to sleep better each night and we both can get some very much needed night rest. 
    As you can see, Graceyn is developing just perfectly.  She is such a gift from God and I thank him every day for giving me such an amazing and sweet girl.  I lover her to the moon and back and am so blessed to have her in my life. 

Such a pretty girl!
