three months old

hellie belly turned three months old today which didn't go unnoticed by her big sister who, never one to let a celebration pass her by, sang 'happy birthday' many many times.

helen had a check up in early february and she weighed in at a hearty 12 pounds six ounces, doubling her birth weight in just two short months! she was 22 inches long which put her in the 37th percentile for height and 85th percentile for weight. i thought she was going to be a peanut but looks like i might have been wrong!

i've been meaning to post this photo, which is a lot like this photo, since the day of our appointment:



helen handled the immunizations like a champ...looking at the size of her legs, i'm surprised she felt anything at all!

this month marked her first trip on an airplane, taking four flights to/from miami and, simply put, she was amazing, waking up for a sum total of about two hours the entire time we traveled.

she continues to be such a sweet thing and oh-so-quiet. she gurgles quite a bit but in the softest, most gentle way where you have to lean your head in and listen closely to hear her.

she's a little angel. in fact, we have two angels and i thank my lucky stars every day.
