3 Months!




Liam is now 3 months old! I can't believe it! He is growing so fast and I want it to stop. The other day I was rocking him to sleep and couldn't help but think that this stage is not going to last much longer. Before I know it he is going to be crawling and running around and won't have time for snuggles with his mommy.  I am trying to soak up every minute of his little life before it becomes a distant memory!

Liam has been so active! He loves to lay and kick all day long. He plays in his saucer a lot because it allows him to stand hours on end. Even though he is only 3 months he loves to stand. He thinks he is so much bigger then he really is. I am terrified for when he is mobile because he is going to give me a serious run for my money. 2 days before he was officially 3 months old Liam rolled over. Taylor had gotten up with him that morning and had him laying on the couch and he just rolled over and I missed it. I was so sad but excited at the same time. Since then he has rolled over many times, from tummy to back. He hasn't rolled from back to tummy yet but he has come very close. I am loving the milestones he is hitting. I get so excited, just like the cheesy new mom should :)

The other major milestone that Liam has hit is he is now sleeping through the night! He still has to be rocked to sleep but we are working on breaking that habit. He used to go to sleep really easy but he has been putting up a bit of a fight the last week or so, I think it is because he is stubborn and he might be teething. Once asleep he is great though, one night he just decided to start sleeping 10hrs! Of course the first time this happened I woke up 3 times to check on him, haha. All I did was wish for a full nights rest and then when it came I was scared he wasn't okay haha, the joys of motherhood :) Liam is sleeping through the night all the time now. I am considering starting rice cereal though because he wakes up starving and he is starting to wake up earlier in the morning because he is so hungry.

I am going to try the whole, make your own baby food thing too. I am a little nervous but I think it will be good. It'll help bring more veggies into the house so I start eating them too and it is a ton cheaper! I couldn't believe it, how much you can save! Luckily I have friends and family that have done it and will help me out. It'll be an adventure but that is what motherhood is, a daily adventure.

Our next adventures are Liam rolling completely and teething. Unfortunately at 3 months old I think he is starting to teeth. He has been really fussy the last little bit and you cannot get his hands out of his drooly mouth! But like the song goes, "It wont be like this for long, One day soon we'll look back laugh'n, At the week we brought her home, This phase is gonna fly by, So baby just hold on, It wont be like this for long". That realization is been really hard. My baby  won't be a baby for much longer. I have loved these past three months and becoming a mother to my little boy! I love him so much and am so grateful for everyday with him and with Taylor. Nothing puts a smile on my face faster then my two boys, especially when the are playing together.
