You are three months old today. I honestly can't believe we've had you for 3 whole months. In some ways, it feels like you just showed up, but in other ways, it feels like we have known you forever.
I'm still getting used to the idea that I am a mother. It is still odd to me that words like "mother" and "son" apply to our situation. I had to call your daycare, and when I identified myself as "Alex's Mom," it sounded so funny, like when I started using your Daddy's last name. It is exciting.
You are growing and changing like crazy. You can roll onto your stomach now, so you pretty much nap in whatever position you want. You smile all the time, and you are just starting to giggle at things that you think are REALLY funny.
Your love of Biggie has been verified. At least 8 or 9 times now, "Juicy"consistently has stopped your crying and put you to sleep.
You have all kinds of cool toys at home - a walker, a bouncy chair, a huge alphabet puzzle mat, and a ton of little toys. You are still too small for most of them, but we have had fun on the puzzle mat. We always dance with you when you are on your changing table, so you get really excited when we put you up there.
I had to box up the first clothes that you've grown out of. Never again will you wear your stripey "Handsome" outfit (the one you wore home from the hospital) or your polar bear onesie. I would be a little sad if I weren't so distracted by all the cute new clothes that you are now finally big enough for ("Rock star," "I'm a love machine," and "Honeys play me close like butter play toast.")
You are just amazing. Every time you smile, it delights me. You are totally in love with your Daddy. You light up when you see him. If you are eating and he comes in the room, I sometimes have to make him leave because you get distracted from your bottle. You prefer Daddy to food. It's adorable.
Happy three month birthday! We love you!
Love,
Mom
3 months out of the oven
