12 weeks old!

Today, Quinny will be 12 weeks old! I really can't believe that it's been that long already. I'm sure that next Monday, there will be a post "3 Months Old!" that also states the same thing...but I'm pretty sure that nobody minds :)

She sure has grown in these last 12 weeks! Here are a few of the things that she has been up to:

• Smiley Quinny! I'm sure that you can tell from the pictures that I have posted, but Quinn is such a smiley baby! Especially in the morning. You go to her crib and start talking to her, and she just smiles and smiles. It's the best way to wake up! She really loves it when you sing silly songs to her. We make them up when ever we do anything for her. We sing about changing her diapers, taking a bath, changing her clothes, going to see Daddy...pretty much everything.
• Tummy time! Now, she has pretty much hated tummy time from day one. I would put her on her tummy and she would scream bloody murder until someone came and picked her up. It would take forever to calm her down and have her be happy again. But lately, she has been doing so much better! She still has her fits every now and then, but for the most part, we can get her on her tummy and she will be there happy as a clam for at least 5 minutes. If you ask Gammy Barb, she will say that she still hates it, but she is doing so much better.
• Rolling over (from back to front)! I think she likes to do things a little backwards: harder things first, and then try the easier things. The other day, she was laying on the floor on her back, just looking at her pretty self in her play mirror. I went to the kitchen to put away a cup, and I come back and she has rolled 99% over on her belly! She doesn't get all the way over on her belly, she still gets stuck with her little arm under her and if she stays like that for too long, she lets you know that she's had enough. But she sure loves to try! Since then, she has been rolling over a lot more! Pretty soon, we are going to have a mobile baby!
• Talking! She sure has inherited her Momma's love of talking! She will jibber jabber away forever if you let her! You ask her questions and she will answer. It's so sweet to hear her tiny little voice. I can't wait until she can actually talk real words - it's going to be so cute!
• Giggles! We actually got to hear her first giggles yesterday! We have been waiting and waiting to hear her cute little giggles, and we got her to do it! And she laughed so much that she peed her pants and I had to change her diaper after we were done :) I hope that it becomes a more regular thing because I now live to hear her silly little giggles.
• Sitting up! No, she doesn't sit up on her own yet, but Quinn now almost always refuses to sit back. She likes to see the world from an upright position. Even at bath time, she will not sit back. She pulls her little head up so she can tell you that she wants to sit up and be a big girl.

There is so much more that she is doing, but those are a few of my favorites. I just can't believe that she is getting to be such a big girl already. Pretty soon I'm going to blink and there, in front of me will be a teenager! Hopefully it won't go by that fast, but we all know that they grow up so quickly and we just have to enjoy them while we have them.
