Three months!!

The little babe is not so little anymore. Weighing in at 12 lbs, 13 oz (as of last Weds, so it's probably more now), he is nearing the end of his time in 0-3 month clothing and size 1 diapers.

The past two months have been CRAZY trying to balance working full-time and still loving on him as much as possible. His daycare providers love him but it still breaks my heart that he is there for 9-10 hours a day. Can I say we were thriving as a family these past few months? No, but we love being parents, and we have been surviving. Looking back, if I had a choice, I would have taken a bit more time off of work.

One of my love languages is quality time, so naturally when I'm with Ky I want to be 100% engaged, not multitasking. As soon as we walk in the house we have mama and Ky time, where I put him on my lap facing me with his back resting against my legs. Until it is time to feed him, we talk and sing... Ok, I sing, and we both talk, gazing into each other's eyes. It is one of the highlights of my day. He loves songs with motions, like "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes," (which we sing in English and French) and "If you're Happy and You Know It." He smiles all the time and every now and then he will giggle and it is just so sweet.

We still have him sleeping in our room, which was part of the survival plan until summer break... But tomorrow is the last day of school so we may be transitioning him fully to his crib. He had been napping in it on the weekends. Speaking of sleeping, he now will lay his head on your shoulder. Melts.my.heart. I had the privilege of nannying for my nephew five years ago over the summer, and I still remember how sweet he was when he would do that when he was tired... It's even better when it is your own kid. Love my cuddly boy.

He rolls onto his left side all the time, grabs onto toys and loves to suck and chew on his hands... I just can't wait to watch him grow and develop this summer!
