THREE | FOUR
Oh my darling baby boy,
You keep me so busy that it's hard to find the time to sit down and type up your monthly updates so your three and four month are going to be combined.
It's crazy to me how much you grow overnight. As much as I love watching you sleep I dislike it just the same because it seems that every time you fall asleep at night you wake up the next morning a little bit bigger. Every time I have to raise your straps on your car seat or widen them on your high chair it amazes me that you have grown right before my eyes over night. As much as I want you stay my little boy I love watching you grow and learn new things.
You love grabbing everything in arms distance and it instantly goes to your mouth and if you can't get your chubby little hand on anything you have those fingers in your mouth, nom nom nom.
You still haven't rolled over since you did it when you were two months but we are working on it. You like to roll up on your side but don't like to nudge yourself all the way over yet.
You love having books read to you. Your current favorite is the Very Hungry Caterpillar. The pictures make you giggle and smile.
I love singing to you and Wheels on the Bus is a current favorite because I do the hand motions with you.
You are getting stronger every day and weighed a whole 15 pounds at your last appointment. Being able to hang out at home with you everyday is such a blessing and I wouldn't want it any other way. We love hanging out in the kitchen dancing to your girlfriend, Taylor Swift while I clean or bake.
You don't nap very well during the day but you do sleep about 8 hours straight every night and that I very much appreciate.
Motherhood was nothing like I expected at all. Motherhood is exhausting. Motherhood is overwhelming. Motherhood is messy. Motherhood is not showering for 3 days but your child is dressed to impress. Motherhood is having To Do things on your list for 3 weeks before they get done. Motherhood is middle of the night feedings. Motherhood is early mornings full of smiles and giggles. Motherhood is by far the best thing that has happened to me because you little man fill my heart with an overwhelming love and joy that I couldn't imagine my life without now. You fill the void that has ached my soul. You complete this family and I wouldn't want my life any other way.
XOXO,
