3 months today!

Our little Teia Bean is 3 months old today. The pic above was taken a week or so ago and is a very typical Teia expression. We cannot believe how fast the time has flown by. Most parents anxiously await this milestone as it marks the end of the "4th trimester" and babies are supposed to begin to chill out on this special day. We haven't noticed much difference as Greg noted, Teia is one chill little chick. The other day Kai dropped his wet, post-lunch wipe-down facecloth on her face...no problem, Teia shook it off. Yesterday he moved quicker than lightening and "attacked" her with his Tiger puppet who was busy munching on everyone's knees before he decided Teia's head looked tasty. Again, Teia was not phased. I guess this is how you have to be when you have a big brother!

We haven't blogged much lately so we figured Teia's 3 month birthday was as a good a time as any to post some recent pics. Here she is checking out her "bling" that our friend Harpreet sent as a gift. It is actually a teether and we didn't realize we'd need it so soon but little miss Teia appears to be teething already! Her cousin Eva cut her first tooth at 4 months so maybe this is a Fennell trait. I am a little anxious about it, seeing as we're nursing.

We haven't quite managed to catch a full smile on camera. Teia smiles all the time, especially when she is supposed to be nursing, but once she sees the camera she gets a bit shy. Nursing has been a bit challenging lately as Teia grows more and more aware of what is going on around her. She often stops so she can engage me in some stimulating "conversation." Most often, the cause of her distraction is her brother and she'll stop nursing so she can whip her head around and watch his antics.

Trying to guess her eye colour? So are we. Most of the time her eyes look a dark navy blue but in certain lights they look brown. I am guessing she is not going to follow in Kai's blue-eyed footprints but will be hazel like her daddy. I'm willing to bet money on it in fact. Call it mother's intuition.

Kai remains quite fascinated with his little sis and seems to really enjoy having her around. He also really enjoys her various toys and devices and can operate all of them like a pro.

This morning we took out Kai's bumbo type seat to see if Teia was ready to sit in it. She seemed to enjoy it quite a bit! She seems to be quite strong and can hold her head up really well. She still loves to stand although she is a bit wobbly, hence her latest nickname "Wobbles."

Here is our little lady again, all pretty in pink wearing her first pink dress, that came all the way from England, courtesy of Auntie Lyn. As you can see, she is busy "talking" in this photo.
