Happy 3 Months, Story!

Story, you are 3 months old today!

We can hardly believe it.

In fact, Daddy and I have been saying these last few days that we cannot believe how quickly these three months have gone by. Daddy says he hardly remembers you as a tiny newborn because you are growing so very fast! You have changed so much since this picture was taken on the day you were born. Here's what you are up to at 3 months of age.

• We don't know how much you weigh or how long you are because you do not have a check up this month, which also means no shots, yea!
• You are wearing size 1-2 diapers and 6 month clothes. We are still trying to squeeze you into some of your 3 months clothes because you didn't get to wear them very long.
• You have lost almost all of your hair on the sides, in fact it looks like you are wearing a mo hawk. I hope you like it now because it's the only time in your life you will be allowed to have one, ha!
• Your new hair that is coming in looks very light, maybe light brown or blond, like your eyelashes.
• Your skin is very fair.
• Your eyes are still blue and beautiful. They look so much like Carter's. He loves it that you have blue eyes like him and makes sure that everyone else knows it, too!
• You are still eating 5 ounces every 3 hours during the day. We are gradually increasing the amount of rice cereal in your bottle. Next month you will get to start eating rice cereal with a spoon!
• You are such a great sleeper, praise the Lord for that! You sleep from 7:30 PM until 10:00 AM with a bottle a 10:00 PM and another at 7:00 AM, but you go right back to sleep each time!
• At night you sleep in a sleep sack in a pack and play in our room. We are planning to move you into the room with Tilly once school starts in a couple of weeks.
• You take 3 good naps. One in the morning, a long one in the afternoon, and the last one is while we are eating supper, but we are thinking you may give that one up soon! We are ready for you to sit with us at the supper table!
• You have found your hands this month and you LOVE them! You love to look at them, eat them, suck on them, etc. Sometimes, we think you might be a thumb sucker!
  

See what I mean!

• You love to swing, lay on the floor, listen to music, and watch your brother and sisters.
• You are starting to roll from your back to your sides, so we think it's just a matter of time before you roll on over!
• You talk A LOT, and it's the sweetest sound I have ever heard. You especially like to talk to me right after you are finished eating. So precious!
• You are starting to smile a lot more too and not just involuntarily. It is a sight to behold. Many times throughout the day, I just want to wake you, so I can see you smile at me and flash that sweet dimple, that I love so much!

I told you so; it's precious!

Story, your daddy and I are amazed every day at how laid back, easy going, sweet, content, happy, and lovable you are! We have said, if all babies were like you, we would have 4 more, well maybe not, but you get the point! We are so thankful that God chose us to be your parents, and we can't wait to continue watching you grow, just slow down a bit, okay?

We love you to the moon and back, especially these little people in the picture with you - they love you lots!
