Three Months Old

 

Can it be? Is Austin already three months old?  One one hand, it seems as though he has been here forever and on the other, it seems like yesterday we were driving to the hospital.  My dear sweet Austin, now that you are here, I can't imagine that there was ever a world without you.  So what are you up to now in your third month of life?

 So much, so very much:

• You smile and laugh at me every time you see me!  Yep, you definitely know who Momma is!
• You light up for Michael and Ava.  It's a good thing too since they are constantly all over you.  If we get in the car without you, Michael will exclaim "Uh oh Mommy! We forgot Austin!" He is always so concerned about you.  If you cry, he sings songs to you.  And bless your heart, Ava just won't stop kissing you.  No wonder you both were sick with the same thing at the same time.
• This brings me to my next first for you; you had your first illness and it was a rough one.  You and Ava both had RSV on Thanksgiving! Lots of breathing treatments, sleepless nights and tylenol doses later, you are on the mend.
• You are such a talker but this should be no suprise.  Both your brother and sister are too.
• You are going through a growth spurt because you no longer sleep through the night.  Instead you wake me up to eat and visit.  Yep, you don't just want to eat but you would like a little conversation at 3 in the morning.
• The verdict is still out on what color your eyes will be.  I guess it's too soon to tell.  I think it would be awesome if they were green like your Nana's but you never know.

So littlest love, we will soon celebrate Christmas and your four month birthday.  You are loved to the moon and back sweet boy, Happy 3 Month Birthday.
