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-
