life according to the diaz's: 3 Months Old!

Elena turned 3 months old this week. Juan and I have been going through some of our pictures over the last three months and just realized how much she has grown. Elena was just SO tiny when we brought her home and now she is able to stand on our laps with support and arch her back out of a seat when she is very angry. So many changes in such a short amount of time. Juan and I discussed how we just feel like we miss her being that small because we didn't feel like we truly enjoyed it being new parents and all. Just making sure she was taken care of and all that goes along with learning when to feed her and bathe her made us both in a frenzy at times. We are so thankful for all the photos to help us remember that wonderful time during those first few weeks at home. As I tried to take some of her three month pictures, I have come to realize that she hates having her picture taken with accessories. She gets angry when I try to put a hat on her or a headband. You'll see in the photo below. I guess she's like her mother... ;)
This past week was our first real five day work week since I headed back to school. It went by quickly and smoothly. I am so glad Elena is having fun at the babysitters, although she had a few blow outs this week that if they continue, she may not be asked back to Brenda's during the day ;) Elena got to spend her Friday with both grandma and grandpa. What a treat. Again, we are so happy that she gets to spend at least a day or two a week at home with family while Juan and I work.
Only one more week coming up and then I'm on spring break. Couldn't have timed this baby better. Then it'll be back to work until May 21st....then a summer off with the family. What more could I ask for?!
