Baby Marin: Week Thirteen

Another week, another set of days, another set of realizations about how quickly our baby is growing up. I'm to the point now where I truly cannot imagine a day without her. The days before she came into this world seem so distant to me now. The days of when she was even first on this earth are all a blur, when she was a tiny, wrinkly newborn. It was in those days that I spent most of my time bright eyed and bushy tailed, in awe of this little human that rested in my arms and realizing that I had no idea how to really be a parent.

We just take every day as they come. More often than not, we smell of spit up and Marin's coos echo every where she goes. She had begun to babble and drool fairly consistently. She spends a lot of her days in the company of all of the grandmas, grandpas, aunts, and uncles that love and adore her. We are blessed so much by the family that surrounds us. It does take a village.

The days seem to fly by so fast lately. I am up before the sun and then I blink and we are putting Marin to bed. She makes everyday worth it though, even if they pass far to quickly right before our eyes. Our baby is 3 months old now. I know I will blink and she will be 6 months old. These are exciting times in our home and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Marin rolls over like its old news lately. Sucking on her hands is her pastime. Drooling everywhere has become commonplace around these parts.

Baby Marin: Week Twelve

In a few days, we will have a 3 month old child on our hands. How did that happen so quickly? Every time she hits a new stage or milestone I always think that this is my favorite age. Every week has been my favorite week with her. The first few were really hard, don't get me wrong, but each week brings a new glimpse into who Marin is becoming.

Marin at 12 Weeks: 

  • I feel we are facing another growth spurt. She is eating a lot more than before. 
  • Marin is very fascinated with her hands and gnaws on them often. 
  • She is becoming stronger everyday and lifts her head up very well. 
  • She is becoming more vocal and is finding her voice. 
  • She can grasp on to toys and give them a good shake. 
  • She is still sleeping through the night but is moving around her crib a lot more. 
  • We had probably the roughest evening just the other day. She was having a tough time but we finally got her to go to sleep and then she slept like a champ. 

Dad at 12 Weeks: 

  • Ryan and Marin enjoy a few mornings a week together flying solo. They also spend all day Wednesday together while I'm at work. 
  • Marin enjoys screaming over Ryan's guitar playing. They have a system now. 
  • Nothing calms Marin down quite like her Dad. 
Mom at 12 Weeks: 
  • I have officially returned to work and despise pumping but I am pushing through. 
  • I managed to get myself pretty sick last week. I think being insanely busy, returning to work, and waking up too early with a little one finally caught up with me. This cough won't leave me alone. 
  • I am learning how to manage my time and turn off work when I am home, unless I am working from home. It is a process and an art form. 
  • I celebrated my first Mother's Day and I am thrilled that we get to call this little gal ours. She blesses me, challenges me, and grows me every single day.
