3 Months

Our little Ally girl is 3 months old now, and we're seeing more and more of her big personality. She has become very good at letting us know exactly what her likes and dislikes are by giving us big ear to ear grins or screaming bloody murder. She loves to be held and likes to stand up, but hates lying down or being left alone for even a few seconds. It makes me think back fondly of when Sophia was a baby and would lie happily on a blanket for 20-30 minutes at a time. Ally is definitely a different baby! She still gets colicky most evenings, but it seems like we're having more good nights, so hopefully it continues to improve (quickly!)
We moved her to the crib a couple weeks ago and the transition went well. She usually sleeps 8-9 hours, wakes to eat, then sleeps another 1-2 hours. I don't think it gets much better than that! She is also still taking a bottle without a problem, so hopefully she remains to be different from her sister in that respect!

When I was pregnant, I predicted that we'd have a blonde girl with dimples and big brown eyes. I think I was right on all accounts except for the eye color. Although eye color can still change up to 6 months of age, I think it's safe to say we're going to have another blue eyed kiddo. I guess we have some strong recessive genes!Ally's hair has decided that the party is over and now lies nicely to the side. As it is growing, it seems to be coming in lighter and lighter. We're also seeing some hints of a dimple on the left side.

Sophia still loves Allyson to peices and likes to try and play with her. Ally puts up with Sophia's games and antics pretty well, but I have a feeling with Allyson's strong personality, there will be at least a few battles of the will in the future.
