Three Months Old

Dear Will,

I packed up all of your 0-3 month clothing a few weeks ago (tear). We didn't have a doctor's appointment this month, but I'm guessing you're about 13 pounds now. As I tell you nearly every day, you're "so big!"

You've started sleeping for slightly longer stretches. You made it for 7 hours uninterupted a few times, but usually it's more like 5 hours (still, I'll take it). You like your crib and generally go down easily. I love reading and singing to you before you go to bed, but sometimes you're so tired that you demand to be put down right after your jammies are on. You like your pacifier to fall asleep, and will usually put the back of your hand over your eyes. Dramatic, but adorable.

When I get up with you in the middle of the night you're all smiles. I try so hard not to engage you too much so you'll go back to sleep, but you're so darn cute. You usually wake up a second time before Daddy goes to work, so he's able to give you your AM bottle and let Mama sleep in a bit (woot). He loves the smacking noise you make right before he feeds you.

Last month you gave us your first smiles, but this month you started smiling socially. It's so fun to watch you interact with the people around you. Daddy and I sit over you and make the goofiest faces just to get you to grin and giggle. Your laugh sounds something like a combination coo/gasp. Sometimes you get so excited when you're laughing that you stretch your legs and kick your feet.

Another month come and gone. I can't believe how time flies. I love you so much.

Mama
