Brenton: You're 4 months old!

Happy 4th month sweet boy! You remain the sweetest baby. EVER. I cannot believe how fast you're growing. You seem to change by the second. You're grabbing at toys, putting everything you grab into your mouth, talking, rolling, smiling. You're eating 7 ounces at a time now- and nothing is better than when you eat. You love to eat. LOVE to eat! You can also "tripod" sit for 15 or so seconds at a time.You're sleeping through the night and typically wake to eat around 5:30 in the morning. You're a smart, beautiful, amazing, little guy.

This month you caught your sisters "cold" which turned into RSV. You missed a week of school, lost 10 ounces of weight from not eating(see above paragraph) and were all together a miserable man. You also got an ear infection from the RSV, but you still managed to smile, even with snot running down your sweet face.

You're the favorite at your daycare. Your teachers talk about how sweet and calm natured you are all the time. You really are. You don't fuss just to fuss. You have a motive behind each of your wails.

You love your sister and your face lights up when she is around. She sings to you, kisses you, and you laugh and laugh. Sometimes she's a little TOO close to you, and this causes you to become annoyed. I've reminded her that when you're a bit older I may just have to turn a blind eye.

I never imagined how much I could love you before I met you. But my heart radiates with love and I glow every time I think about you. You're too little to understand now, but the world is a insane place and a simple smile from you can be more healing than anything else in the world.

You're perfection and I love you with every inch of my soul. You complete me sweet boy.

I love you to the moon and back,

Mommy-

Happy Valentine's day!

Did some quick photos today. Not too many of little Brenton as he has RSV and is a snotty, fussy, baby boy!

Perfection

Seriously? It doesn't get much cuter than this! Gosh, I love this boy!

Brenton you're three months old today!!

Sweet little boy. You're three-months old. A quarter of the way until you first birthday. You're a trimester old! How can that be? Seriously? I wish I could freeze these moments- We've kissed your newborn-hood goodbye and we welcome your baby-hood with open arms. You are the sweetest baby. Even if I even pretend to look in your direction you flash me the hugest baby grin. Ever. It warms my soul. Your third month brings many emotions, just as it did for your sister, but your smiles make it so much easier on me.

I never realized a baby could change so much in just a month's time. I suppose I knew, but I somehow voided how fast your sister changed right out of my mind.I wrongly speculated that you'd slow down a bit, let me savour this part of our lives a bit longer, but just as Sissy did you've grown leaps and bounds.


During your 2nd month you learned to roll from your belly to your back. You smile repetitiously at everyone and anything. You're starting to giggle. You can tripod for about 20 seconds before you lose your balance. You're swatting at toys and trying to grab them.


And probably my favorite- you talk A TON!! All day! All night! You babble! I love it! You look so serious with your eyebrows arched when you let out your sounds and then you give this huge grin as if you've just told the funniest joke! I just love it!


You're not consistently sleeping through the night, but do pretty well most nights. You still have to be swaddled in order to sleep and you love the paci! We're recently bought you a clip in the attempts to stop losing them every twenty seconds(and in attempts that your sister will stop hiding them).

Today was a huge milestone for the both of us. Today I went back to work. I felt so guilty leaving you all day and caught myself crying every time I thought about you. Sometimes I wonder if I am doing the right thing leaving you, and only time will answer that.

Everything we do as parents often leaves us feeling guilty and today was total guilt over load. I want you to know that leaving you to work is for you. I want you to have everything you need and want without a worry in the world. I want to help create your futures and dreams. So, off to work I go. There wasn't an hour that went by that my mind didn't think of your sweet smiles and a second that went by that my heart didn't ache for you.

In closing I am so happy you're here. I cannot imagine our lives without your sweet soul in it- I love you with every thing I am. You and your sister make me proud in ways I cannot even fathom or explain. You're my heart sweet, chubby, boy!

Love you to the moon and back,

Mama-
