Three Months

Dear Neil,

You are 3 months old today! Quarter of an year old!! The time is just flying by. You are getting ridiculously cute by the day and your Daddy and I just want to eat you up. You are just surviving by the skin of your teeth, baby.



What are you upto these days?

1. You are growing well, you are at the 50th percentile for your weight and 10th percentile for height. But we are not worried because you are not a white, midwestern, formula fed baby and it is not right to compare you to such babies. You got 3 of your vaccinations and you were such a good boy about it. You only cried a little for the shots.

2. You put your whole fist into the mouth and suck on it while you play by yourself on the mat. It is the cutest thing ever.

3. One day while you were nursing, you stopped right in the middle and looked at me and smiled. You just couldn't stop smiling. And I started crying. I know, it wasn't a fair exchange.

4. You smile a lot more these days. And you have the biggest smiles when I talk to you or when you see me. I am selfishly very pleased about that. It is impossible to get a smiling picture of you though.

5. You and Daddy spent a day together while I took Ammachy to Universal.Daddy has his own games that he plays with you and you two have the best time together.

6. You still sleep sandwiched between us and you nurse throughout the night on and off.

7. You had your first trip to the zoo and first stroller walk this month.

8. You lie on your mat and coo and we talk back to you. A goo goo is what you say mostly. Is that baby talk for More milk please? If then, I am sorry I say a goo goo back to you. It must be very confusing for you. If we talk back in your language you get louder and more animated. It is WAY TOO MUCH FUN.

9. You almost rolled over and with a little help you turned your head. You have been holding up your head during tummy time for a while now, but it was exciting to see the whole thing anyway.

10. I make up the most ridiculous songs for you and when it is just the two of us in the car and you can't see me and start crying, I sing these to you and you calm down. I think you recognize the sound of my voice.

You are so lovable and squooshable and so much fun to be with. Your eyes are beautiful, so expressive and full of wonder. We look at you and wonder how we created someone as cute as you! It is so much fun to see you grow up and see you interact with your world.

I love you.

Mamma

I found your blog via another blog - I have really enjoyed reading it. Your little boy is so cute. They are wonderful at that age - my two babies are 17 and almost 22!!!
