Aubrina is already three months old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. She's smiling, cooing, and she talks a lot. She's grabbing things and putting everything in her mouth. Her two favorite toys are a blue stuffed elephant and a stuffed baby doll - she gets so excited when you hold either of them in front of her, and then once she grabs them she immediately puts them in her mouth. She's also starting to hold her head up more and always wants to sit up and look around, although she can't sit up by herself yet.

Yesterday I took her to get her three month pictures taken. They turned out pretty cute and I think they show off her happy personality. We have an album with all the pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/sciannas/3MonthPictures, but here are 2 of my favorites:

Last week Aubrina got her first illness. On Saturday night she and I went to my cousin's house for dinner. The whole time we were there I kept telling them "She never acts like this" because she wouldn't stop fussing. When we got home Mark was the first one to realize that she had a fever.

The next day the fever got worse and continued for the next 2 days. The only symptom she ever had was a fever, but she definitely didn't feel good. She slept a lot and was very clingy - she wanted her Mommy! By the time we saw the doctor on Tuesday, her fever broke and she had a rash, and the doctor recognized it right away as roseola, or baby measles. Now she's all better and ready to celebrate being three months old! And I'm relieved that her first fever is behind us.
