What a joy our sweet little Hannah is every day! Yesterday she turned 3 months old. She's changing so much every week. Look at that precious smile. She looks SO much like Andy's baby pictures here. I really think Katie's going to look more like me and Hannah's going to look more like Andy.
I took these pictures every month with Katie in this same chair with the chenille bear too. Katie saw me taking Hannah's pictures and wanted to be in the picture too. I'm going to let her sit in on these pictures every month too and watch how Hannah grows with Katie.
So what is Hannah doing at 3 months old? She makes lots of different faces. She loves making this little "o" with her mouth. Katie did this a lot too. She smiles all the time. Especially when we talk to her.

We've been trying since Hannah was born to get her to take a pacifier and she just hasn't wanted to have anything to do with them until about 1-2 weeks ago. She still doesn't take it often, but likes it sometimes and will keep it in her mouth when she wants to. She likes to chew on it more than suck on it. I keep feeling her gums for teeth, but don't feel anything yet. Katie was 11 months old before she got her 1st tooth so we may have a while.
She still likes to lay on her little play mat, but likes to sit up more now (not by herself yet of coarse.) She knows to hit the toys that are hanging down to make sounds and is really good at hitting them. And she loves to look at herself in mirrors.
She LOVES you to hold her so she can stand up. She's been doing this for a while and still loves it. We get lots of smiles and cute expressions when we let her stand like this.
Katie loves playing with Hannah now. I'm starting to see what they'll be like as they get older and can really play together. I can't wait for those days. Now that Hannah is awake so much more, recognizes our voices, has favorite toys, and watches us all the time, Katie really likes to show Hannah how to play with her toys, rattles, etc.
Funny thing with Katie... Andy has a thing about smells and Katie does too. When Katie was just over a year old, Aunt Mary made her a taggie for Christmas with felt strips on the corners. Katie loved the felt "taggies" best and likes to smell them. She used to sit almost the whole 6 hour trip to mine or Andy's parents' house just smelling those felt strips on her taggie. Yesterday when she was playing with Hannah, I noticed Katie smelling Hannah's hair then kissing Hannah on the head. Then she smelled Hannah's arm, then kissed her arm. LOL I don't know what the fascination is with smells, but it was sweet to see her do that to Hannah.
This was the sweetest moment with Katie and Hannah. Katie was really looking at Hannah and how tiny she is. She kept thinking Hannah was going to cry. LOL She loves her sister so much and is really good with her.
We were really bad about "tummy time" with Katie and same goes for Hannah too. She's so happy on her back, sitting in her bumbo seat, swinging, laying in her bouncer, and now playing in her exersaucer so when we're not holding her she's in one of those places and we just forget about tummy time. She definitely likes tummy time better than Katie ever did though.
Yesterday Hannah rolled over from her tummy to her back for the 1st time! She only did it once and I didn't have the camera but as long as we actually give her tummy time, I bet it won't be long at all until she's rolling over all the time.
I love cuddling with her and she's been letting me hold her and cuddle with her a lot more lately. She also has fallen asleep in my arms a lot more often lately.
Another 1st for Hannah yesterday (yesterday was a big day in the Knapp house), I put her in her exersaucer for the 1st time and she loves it. I have to roll up 2 blankets and put them around her to hold her up. She holds her head great but holding her whole body up is a different story.
There's something about that blue horse that she really likes. She smiles at it a lot. And the likes to grab that little blue ring at the bottom on this picture. She grabs onto it so tight.
Apparently Hannah likes cartoons. Katie was watching cartoons while I put Hannah in her exersaucer yesterday and after playing a little bit, Hannah noticed the tv and stared at it watching whatever was on at the time.
Still watching those cartoons.
I love, love, love the baby stage and watching Hannah grow up and do new things almost every day. It's so exciting to watch her grow and learn. She's such a good baby and a sweetheart. I love her so so much!
