William turned 3 months last Friday and couldn't be cuter!
My goodness... 1 month does not seem like it's much time at all but having a baby has made me realize all the change that can take place! It's amazing watching William grow and seeing his personality develop is too fun!
We have a "COO-er" on our hands and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's so stinkin cute seeing him on his play mat talking to himself in the mirror or talking to the little giraffe and monkey that hang over him. It's even more precious when he wakes up in the morning or from naps and is cooing. It seriously makes my heart leap.
We are getting a few extra hours of sleep these days... he is starting to sleep for 4-5hrs at a time more and more. It's so nice to put him down for bed around 8pm and not wake up to feed him again until 1am (or however the times fall). Growth spurts are the exception... the other night he wanted to nurse every single hour!! I was completely exhausted! I got pretty frustrated that night but had to laugh at myself the next morning as I realized he was 3 months and that is when a major growth spurt tends to come. Thankfully it only lasted that night. PHEW!
It's amazing how true the phrase... "this too shall pass" is. In the moment of being up every hour to feed a crying baby... or soothing a crying baby, it seems like it will never end. I remember feeling so inadequate and thinking it would last forever. The truth is... it doesn't last forever. I think it is too often that we wish time away. We are too busy looking forward to getting over a certain hill and past a certain phase... and we forget to enjoy the NOW. I never thought I would miss those days in the NICU, but I do. I never thought I would miss those days of propping my fussy baby up on my chest all night just so he could get some sleep, but I do. I am soo learning to enjoy the NOW and not wish for things to be gone so soon, especially when "so soon" could be tomorrow!
We couldn't be more in love with our William!
