New thing I'm trying on the blog:

Week 13
Weekly “Chupdate” -- Get it?? Ch-apman -- update -- combo... ;) I know, I know -- just humor me. ;)

He is starting to “talk” up a storm. It’s as though he developed opinions and thoughts overnight -- that he communicates through lots of baby speak. And, it’s cute...most of the time. (He has negative opinions, too, you see....) He gets so excited and talks extra when Drew comes home from work. That is really, most definitely, cute.

Still loves music and being sung to.

Has truly “found” his hands and feet. Started reaching out and grabbing things in his reach this past week. Which means momma needs a haircut. And, can’t wear necklaces. And, maybe no big earrings. And, he lifts up his legs so he can see his feet, and just stares, stares, stares.

Still seems to be miserable with gas pains and reflux for parts of many a day. :-/ I teeter between wanting relief for him and not wanting to subject him to too many medicines/tests. For myself, I’ve often wondered what’s worse -- dealing with tests/drugs that may or may not bring relief, or just dealing with whatever is ailing me. I wonder the same for him and his little, new body.

He is growing, growing, growing... I just can’t believe how big he is already. Not that he is abnormally large for his age. I know he’s quite tall for his age, but that’s not even really what I mean. I think because he’s MY child, it feels like he’s growing so, so fast. 3 months old already?! How can that be?? Makes me want to treasure each day/week/month. There are many great seasons to come with him, and it truly has just gotten more and more fun (if that was even possible), but I’ve loved each part of this for different reasons so far. Hard? Yes. Worth it in every way imaginable? Most definitely.
