My favorite activities as a 3 month old

Smiling at my smiley toys.

I love smiling and especially at toys with bright colors and a smiley face! I also like to see new faces and often smile at people mommy and I met when we go out and about.

Taking a walk with mommy.

I love looking at things like trees and lights. I like sitting in the baby carrier when mommy walks. I usually get really comfy in the carrier and just nap on mommy's chest.

Story time.

When mommy and daddy read to me, I get really excited and will keep kicking the book while reading - yeah I know.. cooing - along loudly with them. Just recently mommy let me sit in the bumbo when we do our story time.

Doing chores with mommy.

Mommy just discovered that I like to be facing out in the carrier. She will now let me take the front seat when she does chores around the house. It is super fun and I do not let myself fall asleep in that position no matter how tired I am.

Wrestling with baby tigger? well, at least mommy would like to think so... =)

I love chewing my hands

Baby ellie loves to chew on her hands, especially the right hand (does that mean she'll be  right-handed?). I don't let her use pacifiers, so I guess this is a good thing. She would sooth herself to sleep occasionally.
It appears that she recently discovered that she has hands, and sometimes she would stare at them for a really long time. She also likes to put her hands together when I feed her.
She doesn't really bat at or grab things yet.  But, last night, daddy put a toy crab on her belly, and she grabbed the legs of the crab successfully - though unintentionally, and held on to it for a couple minutes. Cute! =)

Love my right hand!

Successfully grabbed a toy for the 1st time!

First laugh!

Last night we were trying her lady bug costume on ellie.  As we were undressing her, daddy was messing with her... and she started to laugh uncontrollably! And he tried again, and she laughed again...! The same reaction repeated for like 4 or 5 times and mommy rushed to get camera, and got a little bit of it. Hehe.. She soon noticed the camera and stopped to fall for the trick. =P

"Mama, Dada, what is my name short for?" ellie asked in her cute and  innocent voice.
"My dear, ", daddy responded with a serious face, "it is short for 'elephant'."

Haha... this is from daddy rian...

Happy baby ^^

Big girl! She took 2 shots this time. She cried really loud during and after the shots. It was so difficult to see her such a little baby to go through this. But I am really proud of her. She did well during the day and was a little more fussy than normal the following day.

I got big eyes!
