3 Months!!!

It's true, it's true, tomorrow Oliver will be 3 months old!! These past 3 months have been such a blur of activity that I can hardly remember any of it. Thankfully I have had my beautiful son attached to me the whole time and I feel like we are a pretty good team. I couldn't have asked for a better 3rd baby, a baby who has been so calm and confident through all the craziness of our new business. Oliver seems to know what I need right now, and mainly that is sleep. The boy sleeps better than me most nights and certainly waaaay better than his sisters ever did. Last night he slept for 7 straight hours and the norm is usually 6 straight hours. For a breastfed baby I believe that is pretty good, and considering my history of bad sleeping children I couldn't be happier!

As for Oliver himself, he is such a little sweetheart. He smiles at almost anyone or anything. He is starting to laugh too and I just love his early baby laugh. It looks like he will keep the blue eyes to match mine and Lily's and they are just the prettiest little eyes!

As for measurements he is 12lbs and 23" long. I looked up the girls measurements at 3 months and Lily was 10lbs 21" and Nadia was 11lbs 22" long. Interesting progression! He seems very long to me, his arms and his legs especially. He is getting chubby, but most of his gain is in length not girth.

I am totally in love with my little boy. Lily and Nadia are still quite enamored with him. In fact Nadia is so insistent on holding him all the time that she freaks out if she can't hold him. Lily just randomly gives him kisses and hugs and both of them like to feed him pretend food and read him books. My heart swells...

He is so handsome! 7 hours at 3 months for a breastfed baby is a wonderful sleep. Wish my little guy slept that long when he was that age. (didn't get relief until he was almost 1) Little Oliver seems to be doing quite well in the eating department with a weigh in like that :) Wonderful update!

What an adorable boy! And his sisters sound like they find him charming too. So glad things are working out so well for you and your family.

Well you deserved a sleeper - glad you got one! Oliver sounds lovely. I'm glad Lily and Nadia appreciate him so much.
