Today Akilah Danielle turns 3 months. She is definitely growing up and hitting several milestones. Her most recent developments include: moving around in a circle during tummy time, imitating Nicholas when he laughs and trying to hold and support her bottle during feeding.

Personally, I still feel the infant stage of childhood development moves extremely slowly. I keep waiting for Akilah to start crawling, walking, talking and being able to play with her big brother. Alas, I will continue to exercise patience because everyone tells this time goes by so fast.

Good news: Since returning to work from maternity leave I have lost 15 pounds

Not so good news: I’ve been the same weight since the end of June so I need to step it up a few notches if I plan to get into a bikini later this fall.
