Worth the Wait

Dear Camden,

Tomorrow you will be 3 months old. Three months isn't a long time, yet I can hardly remember what my life was like before you. You are, without question, the best part of every day.

At 3 months you:
-Smile. A LOT. You have a large, gummy grin that just melts my heart.
-Are very talkative. Your favorite phrase is "Ah Goo!"
-Love bath time and you just learned how to splash.
-Are starting to discover your feet. Sometimes I find you just staring at them. Who can blame you? They're the cutest feet in the world.
-Sleep in your co-sleeper in Mommy and Daddy's bed. You normally wake up to nurse once per night.
-Love to kick your feet and squeal when you get excited. This often happens when you're getting your diaper changed. I'm still not sure why you enjoy that so much.
-Nap about every 2 hours during the day. Most often, you take your naps on Mommy.
-Can grip your rattle and other small toys.
-LOVE your reflection in the mirror. No matter what your mood, if you're placed in front of a mirror, you break out into a huge grin upon seeing your reflection.
-Are terrified of the vacuum cleaner and other loud noises.

Overall, you are a happy baby with a sweet personality. I truly couldn't ask for a better son. It wasn't an easy road to get you here, but I'd turn around and walk that road again without hesitation. You were absolutely, without a doubt, worth the wait.



Love,
Mommy

Why do I always cry when I read your blog??? He was definitely worth the wait. He is so precious. I love him so much.

Aww what a lovely post. I'm so happy for you Kerri.

By the way, he gets cuter and cuter everytime I see a picture...

Love this post! Since I hardly see him, it's nice to know what he's up to these days! I love, love, love the picture (and of course, the onesie). At every stage, you think there's no way they could get any cuter, but somehow it happens. He is just precious.

I would like to see another picture in this onesie along with the hat. It came with a hat didn't it?

That picture is so precious Kerri! He is such a cutie!

Kerri said...

Oh yeah! I forgot about the hat!! I think it's upstairs in the nursery. I will try to find it and take another picture.

Wow- 3 months already??? I don't know how it is possible, but he gets cuter every time I see a picture of Camden.

I also LOVED the onesie so much, I instantly googled it so I can get two for my little ones. Thanks for the idea!
