Oblivion to Awareness

The title of this blog was from a friend's comment on my Facebook status that I thought truly sums up the transition Shannon went through when she hit 3 months. Those first 3 months she was fun, but oblivious to everything around her. She could sleep through anything and the only response we got was crying or smiling. Then she turned 3 months old and BOOM-she's aware of the world around her and soaks everything in. Each morning it's more fun to see her smile and begin learning. She loves to stare at Audrey, her gaze follows me around the room, and when she looks in the mirror when I'm holding her she giggles. Today marks the day when we an no longer just put her down on the carpet or on her play-mat...she rolled over both ways in a matter of minutes to get where she wanted to go. I think we have an active little girl!

Shannon loves her friends. Erin, Grady, Cecily, and Everett. It is very sweet to see Everett's eyes light up when he sees her. Normally he's quite the active and rough little boy, but when he comes close to Shannon he is gentle and usually gives her a light kiss on the forehead. Erin loves to play with her toys where Shannon can watch and Erin likes to sing songs for her. Cecily likes to talk to Shannon to make her smile. And lastly, Grady, who we have deemed "Grady Monster" likes to crawl near Shannon and there was one time he wanted to play with a soundly sleeping Shannon so he jumped on her while she was in her swing. I'm sure they will be great friends!
Here are some fun pictures from the last few weeks.
