Maxwell: 3 Months Old

my sweet baby boy is three months old.

and you know what that means....

the skills & life experience of a three month old:

1. already stretching out his size 3 month clothes and fitting into some size 6 months.

2. he rolls over from front to back often.

  and he rolled from back to front twice. definitely not a fluke.

3. he seems mesmerized by his sister. he stares at her and smiles.

it's adorable and pulls on my heart every single time.

4. he is such a smiley guy and always so content.

 his mellow attitude has brought the perfect balance to our family.

5. he giggled. not for me, only for kirk. not fair!
i have been desperately trying to get him to laugh for me,
but kirk claims i'm just not funny enough.

6. he is still sleeping in our room in the bassinet and/or with mommy.

i moved him into his room for a trial period and it didn't go as smooth as i hoped.

so, i moved him back into our room where he sleeps really well, most of the time.

 i don't know when i will try transitioning him again. 

i guess i'm just not rushing it this time.

7. when he gets excited his arms and legs go wild at full speed.

it's really funny until he whacks himself in the face,

then i feel bad for him. [as i'm still laughing]

8.  kirk feels loved by max now. he used to tease him for being a momma's boy.

but they bond & watch football together now.

it's the father/son relationship kirk always dreamed of! ;)

9. he hasn't traveled outside of texas yet. 
but we did get some practice going through airport security.

10. he's developed a wrist roll. yes, i said wrist.
do you know how unbelievably cute* a wrist roll is? 
[*wrist rolls on babies are cute, not adults]

Growing out of his newborn clothes & rolling over.

 I keep telling him to stop it. Stop changing. Stop growing.

Stop trying to reach those milestones.

 It's totally fine if you want to be a baby forever.

I remember being so eager for change when Lyla was a baby, 

but this time I feel a little sad each time Max does something new.

Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of the little dude, but I need time to freeze.

We planned on limiting the size of our family to four humans.

However, newborns babies are a little addicting.

Maybe I can do that pregnancy thing one more time...

just kidding. or am i?
