three months old

oh sweet, christian. where to begin?

your hands are still your best friends. you like to have them near your face...and often in your mouth...

you have a wide, gummy grin, and we see it often


your eyelashes are so long they look fake. we both try and take credit for them.


you have the sweetest little coo, but you also like to squeal. and you get closer to a full-on giggle every time we play.

you've got your daddy's ears. there's no doubt about that.

your hair is slow in coming. you can blame your mom for that. she didn't have much at your age either. it's light brown right now, which is a big surprise for us. maybe your coloring will be dark after all.

your eyes are wide and expressive. the color changes daily -- blue, grey, golden brown -- we are anxious to see the final product. from day one you've been extremely alert and observant.

your lips are perfectly formed. any girl would be jealous. you love to twist them up when you sleep.

we can't believe how fast you learn. you can roll from your tummy to your back, reach out and grab things (including your mom's hair)

we sure love watching you grow. and can't imagine life without you. thanks for joining our family. you fill our lives with overwhelming joy. we needed you.
