3 Months!

Posted by Me Sat, 07 Apr 2007 15:32:00 GMT

My little guy is 3 months old today! I can’t believe it. Where has the time gone? :)

I’d like to say that he turned 3 months old and everything magically improved – not quite. He’s better but he’s still got some pooping/gas issues and isn’t quite sleeping through the night. He sleeps in his crib but wakes up every 1 to 2 hours still towards the later hours in the night but at least he feeds for shorter times and manages to go back to sleep after each of them. A lot of the time he wakes up is due to his pooping/gas issue. Hopefully, eventually he’ll kick this pooping/gas issue and be more comfortable at night. Also, he doesn’t like to take consistent naps during the day. I try to put him in the crib and his eyes pop open and he cries. I hope that too improves with time – for now he cat naps throughout the day in his swing, car seat, or when we hold him. Not ideal but we’re working on it.

Other than that he’s absolutely amazing. He smiles, coos, gurgles, babbles all the time. He is so much more alert now and checks everything out. He seems to smile so much more when he sees Mommy or Daddy and it’s great. He is also discovering his hands and it is so funny to watch him get mesmerized by them throughout the day. He’s definitely the star in our lives. We are having so much fun getting know this little guy and watching him discover new things everyday.

I still can’t believe that I am actually a Mom. A Mom! A Mom to this adorable, sweet, alert little boy. I am so grateful for the chance and know that this is a gift – a miracle. He’s growing up so fast – I mean he’s still little – but has changed so much from when we first brought him home.

I personally thought LOML took some really great ones of him in his bunny outfit in the bouncy seat. Daddy can always get a smile out of him. The last ones that look more staged where taken at “Portrait Innovations” with his cousins. He did really well but eventually got tuckered out. We got some good ones though of him sitting in his Man Chair though. :)

Well, life is pretty amazing when you get to type up a post while your little boy hangs out on your lap keeping you company. Last year we went to Lake Las Vegas and watched a big Easter Egg Hunt Event take place. We didn’t know that it would take place – we just thought it’d be fun to go out there – it was sweet to see all the kids, but admittedly hard to watch since we were still very much in thick of our infertility journey. This Easter is pretty special. We are going over to my In-Laws for Easter and having lunch. I am sure it’ll be fun. How can it not be when you have this little guy smiling right back at you.

Happy Easter everyone!
