12 Weeks

Freddie, you are three months old today! That means you were joining us around this time one year ago as UmBabay, even though we wouldn't know it for several weeks. We celebrated with cupcakes.


And not surprising you had your eye on the red velvet. Red seems to be the color you're most interested in.


I am loving being your mama and watching you grow and change everyday. Each day brings something new...you change that fast.


You've got some dimples, which I can't seem to capture in a photo. The right cheek has a more pronounce dimple than the left, and your grin is so big and cheeks so chunky that the dimples are becoming more obvious.


When we got you home every piece of clothing was too big for you. Within the first week we had 2 outfits that fit you nicely. This week I packed up a big stack of clothes you've already outgrown. Your 3 month clothes are fitting perfectly.


I must admit that you fell of the couch while in my care. You're scooting so much and just wiggled yourself right off the sofa while I was getting my coffee. I heard the thud and then the scream. You looked so pitiful face down on the floor, waving your limbs, but stopped your cries as soon as I picked you up and apologized.

Can you see my hair?

You seem to be sucking on your arm and our fingers all the time and you're drooling oodles. I know you won't cut teeth for some time but I can't help but wonder if this is an early teething sign.

Self portraits are tricky with three!

You continue to be a good sleeper, sleeping from 10-7 (or 9-6) each night. Your morning naps are fairly predictable but I am still trying to figure out your afternoon needs.

And everyone was right, at three months we've turned a corner and things seem to be clicking. At least for today, and that's enough for me.
