Not only are we celebrating and welcoming in a new year and but we are also celebrating three whole months with this little chunk... both of which have me feeling reflective, a little sad and a lot hopeful. It's hard to believe he's already three months old. Although it seems to have gone so quickly, I can hardly remember life without him, though I am certain that in that life I was sleeping way more. Life as a family of four is starting to feel a little more normal all the time, though our new "normal" is a little more chaotic and crazy. However, I am so smitten by this little guy that I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a crazy, serious crush on him! ♥
At three months old he continues to grow like a weed. I suspect he is somewhere between 15-16lbs and not slowing down. Though he has a handful of 3-6m clothes that I can still stuff him into, he is comfortably wearing 6-12m. What?! Slow down little guy.
He is starting to (inconsistently) sleep a little better and we have even had nights where he slept 8+ hours. That's life changing for a mama!! It's not every night yet, but I am hopeful that I will in fact get a good nights sleep again someday soon.
He smiles, laughs and giggles constantly in his sleep and it's adorable. I can't wait to get those kind of full on laughs when he is awake. I wish I knew what he was dreaming about. Fluffy Lion Cubs? Tasty Corn Dogs? Bunny Rabbits? Or maybe just chuckling at how hard he's been on his mama?

He's not a big fan of tummy time yet, though he is getting better and stronger. Mostly, he just tolerates it and waits for it to be over. (It's not easy pushing those chubby cheeks off the pillow, folks)
He loves bath time and is starting to splash and play. We usually have a huge, wet mess in the bathroom by the time we are done.
He is happy and smiling most of the time, which is a huge relief, especially after our first several weeks. I am still off of dairy and soy and it still sucks...but I have gotten used to it, more or less, and a content baby is more than worth it.
Honestly, he just seems to get sweeter and cuter by the day. And his mama seems to fall more and more in love with him by the day as well!!
Happy Three Months Little Man!

I pretty much love this little stud! Me and Bee are crushing on him too. And you make life with two kids looks like a breeze, even though I know it hasn't been.
It is so great to finally see some light at the end of the tunnel! You are such a good mama. Gina is right, you make it look easy. And having been there, well... I think you are a rockstar! He is so cute, and so worth it. xo
