Madeleine is Three Months Old!

Time sure is flying by over at our house. Madeleine is growing and growing and becoming a more amazing part of our family every day. Here's a little glimpse of her three-month-old life:
She's still fitting perfectly in her 3 months clothes and size 1 diapers.
She has the cutest, roundest head that sports her reddish-blond hair, but she's starting to lose a bit of it in the back.
She sleeps in her own bed in her own room every night, usually all night. Her bedtime is around 8:30 and we usually don't hear a peep from her until 5 or 5:30. Then she eats and falls back to sleep. And if it was up to her, she'd sleep until 9 every morning. Big Sister usually prevents that luxury from happening, however.
She's becoming more and more alert, but Big Sister is still her most favorite thing to watch. She's also recently discovered the tv and balloons. And "Olive, the Other Reindeer" is currently her favorite book to study.
She's at her happiest first thing in the morning and at jamma time in the evening. She loves to lie on our bed and smile and coo up at us.
She realized just last week that she has feet, and she purposefully tries to touch things with them, especially books. She also started trying to grab her toes yesterday.
She coos and coos when she's feeling in the mood. The sounds we hear the most are "aaaa" and "ooooooo", "caaaa" and "goooooo".
She's no longer colicky!!!! There's still a bit of fussing that goes on at night if she doesn't fall asleep early enough, but it's nothing compared to the wailing.
