Today, September 20, you are 3 months old. It's hard to believe that so much time has already gone by. We've been through a lot my dear boy...but you're growing everyday. In fact, you're growing up way too fast! I started this blog because I want you to have something to be able to read/look at when you are older...that way you know everything!
At 3 months old, you've really come a long way... you've done better than the doctor's thought you would. You're definitely a tough little guy. In the 3 short months of your life so far you have... stayed in the NICU in 2 different hospitals, went on a helicopter ride, had surgery, and beat all of the odds. Before you were born, the doctors prepared us for what they said would be a "long journey." Little did they know that you were going to be a little fighter and prove everyone wrong! So far, you have no need for any type of therapy. You're already rolling over...In fact you did that a month ago! We were shocked and excited! You've started taking about 3-4 ounces now of formula each feeding. I'll let the fact that you're not sleeping more than 3 hours at a time pass for now though! :) You are about 6 1/2 pounds right now...probably closer to 7! You have a smile that can break anyone's heart. You can hold yourself up pretty well and we know it will be no time before we're chasing you around the house.
You make us smile every single day...and you're teaching us so many things each day as well. We can't imagine life without you. You are very, very much loved. I know that all of the long, sleep-deprived nights are well worth it. In fact, I know that one day I'm going to miss these days...so I'm trying to enjoy the late nights as much as possible. You've already figured out that being held is MUCH MUCH better than laying in your bassinet or swing. So, as much as we didn't want to spoil you too much, you're daddy and I usually give in and hold you ALLLLL the time! And you've already figured out that laying in mommy and daddy's bed is better than your bassinet. You're a smart lil guy...that's for sure.
We love you so, so much and look forward to watching you grow up. I just hope you don't grow up too fast.
Love always,
Mommy and Daddy
