My little guy has gotten so big but I still hold him in my arms as much as I can. At 3 months old he weighs in at approximately 10.5 lbs and is close to 22 inches long! He is growing so fast and it seems he changes daily. That little stinker didn't start sleeping through the night (6 hours) until he was 10 weeks old, but that's ok. I only get up once a night most of the time now, but it's amazing how tired I can still be because of it...probably because I am a light sleeper these days. He smiles and coos all the time now and I love putting him on his blanket to play with him. He still hates being on his stomach and has almost rolled from stomach to back because he gets so mad, lol. We blessed him in our home at 3 weeks old. It was magical. The spirit in our home that day was strong and I cried through the whole blessing. He does this thing in his sleep where he'll smile really big and then chuckle silently to himself. His whole body shakes with this silent laughter. I love it, it's like a private little joke that only he knows about. We went through a few weeks where he would get fussy for a few hours a night, but other than that he is a really happy baby. I still can't express how happy I am in words, I'm sure all you moms out there know just what I'm talking about. I got to experience my first mother's day!!! Actually, it was the day of my first major melt down. I was so exhausted from getting up every 3 hours that it all came crashing down on me. Good thing Austin is patient and sweet. He made me breakfast and bought me flowers, two shirts and some new work-out pants. It ended up being a great day and we went to my parents house for dinner to polish it all off. Trevor got his first round of shots at his 2 month appointment and ended up getting really sick afterward. I think I've decided to wait until he is a bit older to continue with immunizations. It's hard to believe, but I am back to work full-time. I thought for sure Trevor wouldn't be able to go a day without me, but he did just fine and I came home to a happy, healthy baby. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for me either. I didn't even cry, but that's probably due, in part, to the fact that Austin was home taking care of him while I was at work. I just don't think I could drop him off somewhere just yet. Austin and I take pictures of Trevor almost on a daily basis and crack up at how cute he is when he's smiling, laughing, cooing and even when he's being ornery. Trevor has decided he hates being in his carseat, and even screams for a while until he's lulled to sleep by the movement and sound of the car. I bought a baby bjorn for walks and to get things done around the house when he doesn't want to be put down. BEST INVENTION EVER!!! We took Trevor on his first road trip to Tahoe at 2 weeks old. He did great and slept most of the time. I haven't shed the last of my baby weight yet, I definitely don't want to get in a swimsuit any time soon, but I realize how much more important it is to take care of the needs of my baby right now. I love him so much and love having a little family. I feel so blessed and never realized how important the job of being a mother is. I am so glad that I get to have this experience.
