Juliet is 12 weeks old!

Juliet is 12 weeks old today. I can't believe it! The time is really flying. She's a baby now, no longer an itty-bitty newborn.

At 12 weeks, Juliet...

• smiles a ton and has the cutest, little dimples.
• loves the light-up star on her baby playmat. Her little eyes get wide, and she's all smiles whenever her star is singing to her.
• pushes up when on her tummy, with her chest completely off the ground. She's very strong!
• is trying to roll from back to tummy. She can make it to her side, but then she gets stuck.
  
• is a full-time tummy-sleeper. It makes me more than a little nervous because of the SIDS recommendation against tummy sleeping, but it's a battle I'm not willing to fight anymore. We purchased an AngelCare monitor, which detects her slightest movements while she is sleeping. If the baby goes 20 seconds without moving, the monitor alarms. It's given me such peace of mind, and we all sleep better because of it.
  
• is turning out to be a decent, little sleeper! I don't want to jinx it by talking about it too much, but Juliet has been going to bed about 8 p.m. and sleeping until 8 the following morning, with only one wake-up to nurse at 4 or 5 a.m. It is FABULOUS. Scott wasn't sleeping this well until he was 11 months old! I guess the sleep gods are taking it easy on me this go-round, since they were pretty brutal with me when Scott was itty-bitty. He was not the best sleeper, to put it mildly.
• naps sporadically during the day.
  
• does not care for her swing or car seat.
  
• tolerates the bouncy seat for brief periods of time.
• loves her blue pacifiers - but only the blue ones!
• spits up a TON. We go through a bazillion bibs and burp cloths a day.
• will bear a little bit of weight on her legs when held in a standing position.
  
• wears 3-6 month clothing.
• loves to be carried in the Moby wrap.
• gets pretty fussy about once a day, but bouncing on the exercise ball soothes her pretty easily.
• will sometimes scoot across her crib while sleeping.
• loves her Symphony In Motion crib mobile.
• has yet to take a bottle. Gah!
  

I'm just crazy about my little girl.
