three months


Dear Lucas,
today you are 3 months! 3 months. I can hardly believe it. What is 4 months with you like? wonderful, joyous, new. You are such a good baby! You are growing so fast, right before my eyes. I am trying to take in each moment, as you are my last baby. You are smiling more and more, and have even let a belly laugh or two through. Your entire face lights up when you smile and it melts my heart. You have found your hands and have them in your mouth all the time. I think you will be an early teether like your sister. she had 2 teeth at 4 months 2 days!! You have the best eyebrows! what a weird compliment, but they arch so perfectly around your eyes. i just love them! they are so expressive of your emotions! You are also beginning to hold your toys and stretch your little arms out to reach for things. You have the typical baby bald spot in the back too! And you are now a paci and blanket baby! Amelia had a serious love affair with her paci and blankie and i suspect you will as well. We made it through taking her paci away and we will survive it with you also. You have even rolled over! Your daddy was so excited when you rolled over for him, calling me to tell me "he did it, he did it!!". I'm sure we will have a million more moments to be so proud of you and reclaim that excitement. When you crawl, walk and graduate from med school.
When i was pregnant with you, I wondered how I could love anyone like i love Amelia, but once i saw you, i just did. it just happened, and it is so unexplainable to anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of having multiple children. It is has been a wonderful 3 months and i look forward spending many, many more months with you lucas micheal.
