three months

oh finn boy...our sweet, sweet finn boy. how you have grown. and how our hearts have grown with you. you just get more fun by the day. but even if you weren't such a fun person, we would still love you just the same. you are just that irresistable to us.

you are quite the talker! our conversations are full of the most hilarious sounds i have ever heard. you sound like a dinosaur, a pterodactyl to be specific. and the faces that you make as you try to figure out how to make different sounds come from your mouth just kills me. your entire face contorts: you furrow your brow and purse those lips as you throw your clenched fists up in an effort to show us how hard you are trying. we are so proud of you.

you really love being outside...it is amazing how the great outdoors just changes your mood instantly. as soon as you begin to get a little bored with me, usually around four o'clock, we head outside and you instantly become mesmerized. you don't really smile or talk too much while we walk: i think you too busy absorbing all that you see.

you don't really care for the car. you detest stop lights and traffic. and you really hate tummy time.


you pretty much smile for anyone who gives you attention. which of course makes me think that i have the sweetest, most well-adapted baby there ever was. just kidding.

in the mornings sometimes we lay in bed together: while i read or try to catch a few more zzzzz's, you stare at the light on the ceiling. when i turn to look at you, sometimes you will be waiting for me with the biggest grin. i die a little everytime. one of my favorite things is when you get super excited: you flash your biggest, wide-open smile and shake your head from side to side, as if the motion will stretch your smile even bigger to match the height of your glee. this is always the moment that i think you would giggle if you knew how.

we don't know what we did to get so lucky but you are pretty easy to please, are a pro sleeper (knock on wood) and are a pretty efficient eater at this point. i absolutely can't believe how much i love nursing you. it is the most tender thing i have ever known. but you sure spit up a lot! and always just when i think the coast is clear and have just put on my good clothes. ahhhh, the plight of a young mother :)

you are a big boy, at a whopping fifteen pounds and are starting to get chubby! yessssssss! your cheeks have just exploded in the last month and i could kiss them all day long. your brand new skin is just sooooo soft and sooooo kissable. and you finally have those finger dimples and wrist rolls i have always adored on babies. it's the cutest.

we just can't get enough of you finn bear. thank goodness you are ours.
