it's hard to believe it's already mid-february. even harder to believe that perry girl is 3 months old! it has flown by, but at the same time, it's hard to imagine life without her. she's started cooing, her grasps her hands together and chomps on them, she smiles at you, follows us around the room when she's laying on the floor. she's getting so strong and constantly wants to be upright so she can look around and see what's going on. she hates tummy time, but when we do our short spurts of it throughout the day, she gets stronger and stronger! she's starting to get particular about naps and has to be swaddled with a pacifier, in her crib, or in her car seat for naps. at night she doesn't use a pacifier though, and has been sleeping 8-9 hours a night since about 8 weeks! that's one perk of having big babies - they are champion sleepers.

benson is still as obsessed with her as he was in the beginning, and he's learning his boundaries and what is and isn't okay, which is SUCH a relief haha. perry loves her brother and is all smiles whenever he is next to her. it is going to be so fun to watch these two grow up together!

mat gave perry a blessing on january 29, a few days before he left for detroit for 3 weeks. baby blessings are so special! too bad benson just talked up a storm the whole time haha.

 ^^mullet baby! right after i took this picture i buzzed that bad boy off. benson had the worst mullet for the longest time at her age. i was too afraid to buzz it and mat said he didn't want to because he thought it was funny. pfft. so this time around, i got brave and took care of it myself!
