3 Months

Dear Drew,

Time seems to go faster and faster as each month goes by. I can hardly believe that you have already been here for 3 months. But at the same time, I can hardly remember life without you.

What a fun month we have had!!! You are really starting to find your voice, and your little coos simply melt my heart. You are sleeping through the night (although I shouldn't say that too loud...you might hear me and decide it's time to shake things up a bit). You have started to really interact with your daddy and me. You smile at us and coo at us, and it makes us both so happy. You are also starting to figure out your toys and, after studying them for a few minutes, are playing with them.

You still LOVE your paci. You are most definitely a paci baby and we don't go anywhere without it.

Everyone tells us what a good baby you are, and we know that beyond a shadow of a doubt. You are so happy, so laid back, so sweet. Sometimes I feel like I need to pinch myself to make sure you are real.

You are really growing and you definitely love to eat!!! At your last dr. appointment this past weekend, you weighed 14 lbs, 10 oz. You look like you are 6 months old.

You are still having some reflux issues, but we are working on it. It just breaks your mommy's heart to see you hurt.

This past Sunday you were baptized, and it was a precious moment for your daddy and me. Mr. Louis did such a great job and made that time so very special. We are so grateful to know that God has His hand on you, and we promise to raise you so that you know God and so that you know His immeasurable love for you. It amazes me to think that He loves you even more than I do - because I can't imagine loving anyone more than how much I love you.

It is almost your first Christmas, and we have loved sharing this time of year with you.

As each day passes, I love you more. You bring so much joy to my life.

I love you, Drew-bear,

Mommy
