I won't lie that this month was a blur. Remember when I said you were sleeping like a dream last month? Welp, not anymore. Just a few days after hitting your 3-month mark, you were suddenly waking up every hour-and-a-half. It's been rough, I won't lie. I even broke my rule of no babies in the bed and brought you to bed with me! You just love to be near me. I love that. But I also love sleep. Your daddy gets up with you in the morning to let me sleep in, but there have been many days that I have been in a sleepy haze and we definitely don't leave the house. Thankfully your naps haven't suffered. Yet..
But in happier news, you are the sweetest little boy!! You still love to smile and talk to us, and get more vocal and smiley every day. We get lots of giggles now and I love it! You are really ticklish, and you also love to be surprised. Daddy gets the best giggles out of you. You do the hardcore staredown to strangers, just like Sadie still does, but Sadie, daddy, and I get the happiest, and sweetest smiles ever. You open your mouth wide and crinkle your nose and face. It's just so freaking cute! You are still mostly chill. You like to look around with your big eyes and take everything in.
You seem to be outgrowing your colic, though you had some issues at the beginning of the month. You have less screaming fits, and it's great. You are a little bit dramatic though, and it makes us laugh. You are just needy. I love when you need me, but needy and dramatic definitely describe you. You got that from me. Sorry buddy! But it makes you extra lovey and cuddly and I don't mind that at all. You love to be held and want to be around me all the time. I love having you as my little mama's boy. I hope that never changes!
You still love to interact and be part of everything. You don't want to lay down, or be left alone for a second. You want to be with us and talking with us. Or just observing us with your big eyes. You have this "alien language" that is probably my favorite thing in the world. You only do it when your pacifier is in your mouth, and you basically talk like an alien. That's the only way I can describe it, haha. It's so cute and hilarious. If we do it back to you, you will talk like that forever. It melts my heart just a tiiiiiny bit.
You are SO STRONG!! I felt prompted when I was pregnant with you that you would be strong. It's a word that stuck with me the whole time and led me to choose your strong name. I know you will be emotionally and spiritually strong, but you are also just legitimately muscle-strong! You can already perfectly roll both ways, you are trying to sit on your own (though you aren't that great at it), and you hold your head up like nobody's business. We think you'll be an early mover, which is good, because you're already trying to keep up with your big sister.
You are really starting to notice and love Sadie. She gives you so many hugs and kisses all day long, and you love to watch her. You are pretty amazed by her craziness. Sometimes her screaming can be a little much for you and it scares or upsets you. You are a sensitive little guy. You don't even like when I talk while you nurse. If I talk too much or too loud, you will stop and look up at me. So high-maintenance, haha.
It seems so natural to have you in our family. I really feel like I've hit my stride as a mother of two. You are so freaking cute and handsome, that even after a night of no sleep, I wake up and smother you in kisses because I just can't stand how much I love you! I am so thankful to be your mama.
