12?!

Our little guy is 12 weeks old today. I don't know why 12 seems so significant, but it does for some reason. I remember when I was pregnant and making it to the 12 week mark felt like such a big milestone. So perhaps that's why it seems special still. Or maybe it's because he's only days away from being 3 months old. I dressed him in his "12" onesie just for the occasion. This outfit actually belonged to my big brother when he was a baby. It's a size 0-3 months and what you can't see in the picture is that I couldn't button up the last couple buttons in the back. It's gotten so tight that this will be his last time wearing it. I can't believe how much he's grown and changed-especially in the last month. I hate to even say it because I'm afraid I'll jinx myself, but I feel like he has turned into such a happy and easy to please baby. That first month or two it seemed like very little pleased him, and there was just soooo much crying and now it's almost the exact opposite. He seems to do just fine in his car seat and in the car as well. What used to be non stop crying in the car has turned into a happy little guy who watches his surroundings and occasionally nods off for a nap. He's now content to sit in his bouncy seat or lay on his play mat for awhile and is even sleeping in his crib like a champ. He's continuing to eat really well, usually every 3-4 hours during the daytime. At night he's sleeping 6-8 hours, waking to eat, and then sleeping 3-4 more. He's growing and developing so much and it's such a joy to watch. His gummy grin is the best! I know that in a matter of weeks, or maybe even days there will be some kind of kink thrown into my happy little guy's schedule but for now we are enjoying some great family time with him....getting out and about quite a bit, taking walks together, going swimming, and lots of cuddling. I'm loving feeling more rested myself and spending some great time with my boys!
