Brooks is 3 months old!





Okay, so my baby boy is already 3 months old! I'm about a week late on this post, but that's okay. Every day with Brooks is absolutely amazing and wonderful. I love him so much, and more and more everyday. He is changing so fast, it seems like my little boy is growing up already! His 0-3 month clothes are getting too small, and he already wears some 3-6 mth clothes. We put him in a 3 mth sleeper last night, and his toes are squished at the edge, so when that comes off today, it will be put in a box with his newborn things. I don't know why, but it makes me so sad to see him getting bigger - I think because I can already look back and say, "when he wore that...blah, blah, blah". My baby is only 3 mths old, how can I already be talking about his past wardrobe?! Anyway, he is right at about 15lbs! My little chunker! He has been laughing more and more, especially when you tickle him. I've been trying to get his laughs, smiles, and jabbering on video, but he immediately gets camera shy as soon as the camera comes out. My mom saw him roll over twice! Despite my attempts at encouraging him to do it again, I haven't seen it yet. He sleeps through the night for the most part, getting up once to either eat or to be put on his belly. I know you're not supposed to, but he LOVES his belly and will sleep so sound and for hours! His head has great control and strength so I'm not worried. I have to admit, I miss some of those nighttime feedings with him. Those were such special times for he and I and even though I now wake up more rested, I wake up with a feeling of missing him. I can't wait to get him up and cuddle him. He wakes up with a huge smile on his face and talks to me as if he's telling me all about his dreams...I think he misses mommy at night too!







He loves to nuzzle into mommy's arm

Look at him holding his head up in that last picture! Go Brooks! This was such a sweet post Amanda. I love the thought of him waking in the morning "telling you about his dreams" :)

I have to say I'm so jealous of your BIG Brooks!! Jentry is moving on up too now a little past 12 pounds but since she was early and a month older than Brooks I get cubby baby envy when I see Brooks :) We too are rolling over!! So fun :)
