Dear Lil A

Say hello to month 3! As always I’m in awe of how fast the time slips by. You’re a full on baby! This month you started getting really chatty. I’m loving the conversations we have late at night. This month you mostly slept through the day and stayed up happily cooing away at night. I powered through flu and sleep deprivation to stay awake with you because my mom brain can’t switch off when either child is awake. It’s only your smiles and gurgles that kept me going. It really does help that you are so darn cute 🥰

You did a semi roll off from a pillow the other day so I guess we are going to see a proper roll over anytime now. Which is both exciting and terrifying because now we need to put you inside a fortress so you don’t plop from the pillow. This month we read along with the playbooks some new books - Roar went the lion, happy hippo angry duck, where’s baby’s belly button?, and where’s baby’s mommy?. I’m so happy to see you gaze intently at the pages. Love the micro expressions as I flip the pages while reading to you.

My favorite thing to do these days is watch you have adoringly at your didi Z. It’s so heartwarming to see the love between siblings. I’m sure there are fights awaiting in the years to come. But I’ll hold on to these moments.

Keep smiling my darling boy 😘 Love, Mamma
