Three Months With Liam

6/7/15

Please. Stop. Growing. I can hardly believe you are 3 months old! This month your really started to look different. I can finally see more of myself in you! You definitely have mama's eyes, especially when you smile and they turn into little crescents like tiny moons above your cheeks. You are the definition of love. Always smiling and cheerful. You love everyone, but mama most! You're starting to grab things now, like your giraffe wubba nub and your cow chew toy that we call "el becerro". They're your favorite toys and when your aunt Stella draws pictures for you she always includes them. You are reaching and grabbing and chewing everything. This month you had your final hearing screening and you passed with flying colors. You went swimming for the first time and loved it, just like I knew you would. My little Pisces babe. You also started to giggle a lot more, but no full belly laughs just yet. In your third month of life you wore mostly size 0-3 months. Some 3 months clothes are a little big on you still. We celebrated my first Mother's Day this month, thank you for being the reason I get to celebrate. We also went to your first catholic mass for aunt Claire's 8th grade graduation. You didn't like it when people clapped. Your third month was a good one. I love you with my whole heart.

Today you demanded every ounce of my attention. You wouldn't let me look away from you. Your papa and I took you to the park and pushed you on the swings. You laughed and laughed. Your smile nearly made my heart burst with happiness. I nursed you to sleep and your daddy took you  to bed so that I could relax for a bit. I'm so happy to be laying beside you now. You make life worth living.

Liam, you are 2 months old! This month you did a lot of growing. You make me and your papa so, so proud. Your little face changed as fat began to fill the wrinkles in your skin. You are much more alert now, I can see you taking in everything around you. You are content to just watch all the excitement quietly from my arms. Some days are hard as we both learn to roll with the punches and adjust to life with you on the outside. Daddy works hard so that I can stay home with you all day long. You are my favorite person. 

Weight: 12 lbs 3 oz 

Height: 24.7 in

Head cir.: 16.2 in

Milestones: better head control, holds head up when on belly. 

It's summer!

Ah, summer. Not my favorite season, but one to be enjoyed nonetheless. Where I live, it gets painfully hot in the summer time. It's not unusual to have 108 degree days. But despite the blistering heat, sunburns, sweaty pits, and mosquitoes, it can be nice. There's always an excuse to get in the pool, a backyard BBQ is never far, and my birthday comes around in July. Not too shabby! I'm turning 21 this year and I have so much more to celebrate than my first legal drink. This will be my first birthday as a mom and I couldn't be more grateful. Liam is my greatest gift. So, fittingly, I'll be celebrating my special day with the most special person in my life. 

In other news; in 24 hours (and then a little) I'll have a 12 week old baby! Holy cow. STOP. GROWING. I'm for real. You need to chill with that nonsense. And he really is growing like a weed. We're in the middle of a very big, very painful growth spurt at the moment. I'm talking nursing every hour, too tired to sleep, fussing nonstop. He seems to be past the worst of it but it doesn't help that he's also teething. Anyway, I hate to complain. I actually do have a really "good" baby. I have very little to gripe about in the grand scheme of things. 

So that's a little update on what's going on in our neck of the woods. What's happening in yours?

Until next time!
