3 month mark

Chicken is now three months old. The other day it was like a switch went off in her head and she is now able to recognize me and Jonathan. She always used to smile at us but she smiled at everybody. These days however, she seems to smile because she knows it's us. This is an incredible feeling.

For some reason, she adores being on her changing table. Every time we put her down she smiles and laughs uncontrollably. I don't even think she cares about being changed, there is just something about her changing table. Today we brought her in the house after a long morning outing and noticed that she had the messiest diaper we have seen to date. It was literally running down her legs. I put her down and started to clean her up but quickly noticed that I needed Jonathan for reinforcement. He came and we were working on cleaning her. She giggled and cooed the entire time. It was hilarious. I never thought I would laugh about poo.

As it turns out, a 3 month old really needs a Halloween costume. It's apparently imperative. Thank goodness we learned this a week before Halloween and found the perfect costume. Details to come. . .
