3 months and tween music

Nora is now 3 months old. She's still a happy, easy-going baby. Most nights she sleeps well. For a full week, she slept 8-9 hours each night. Then for a week she was getting up once a night again. But the past two nights she's back to sleeping a good 7 hours, so I really can't complain. She's a wiggler. We still swaddle her at night but she always wiggles until her feet are free. She likes to be on the floor and can wiggle in circles and moves around. She can roll onto her side but hasn't rolled over completely yet. She loves to be able to see what's going on around her. Ella and Mia like to talk to her and try to get her to smile. Ella has more success, talking to her in a syrupy, high-pitched tone. Mia tries but doesn't understand that being 2 inches from Nora's face worries her more than amuses her. Nora seems to like the attention from both of them though. Since she's been sleeping so well, we moved her to the crib in the girls' room. They love having her in there, although normally they're asleep from the time I lay her down to the time I get her in the morning. In the afternoons, they all like to watch me work out. Not sure why they find it so much fun, but it makes it easier for me and the older girls are really encouraging, telling me I'm strong and giving high fives. Nora gets really excited and starts kicking her feet like mad. And then she usually falls asleep, lol.

There's not a lot of other news here. Ella will sit on the potty and go, but doesn't tell us when she needs to go. I'm back to work one day a week. Right now that's plenty. I'm doing TurboFire. I like it and am seeing results, just not on the scale. But that's in more detail on my other blog. We watch a lot of Phineas and Ferb. Steve will even watch it when the girls are in bed. Problem is, we end up watching a lot of Disney XD commercials. One of them is a Jonas Brothers music video. The result is that I, a 26 year old mom of 3, end up walking around singing a Jonas Brothers song. It really is catchy. "LA, LA, baby. LA, LA, baby..."
